To Sum it Up: Sorcerer Supreme. Jeff B Super Reviewer. May 31, You know, I really didn't wanna have to write this review right now at 11 in the morning.
But then if I leave it for later, then I'm racing to get it done before dinner, which is when I watch the movies. I just felt lazy for one reason or another, because the fact that I don't wanna write this out now is not a reflection of what I thought about this movie.
In all honesty, I thought this was a very good movie. But let's move on. I remember Scott Weinberg saying on twitter he's a film critic I follow on that site that he's impressed by how much work it takes to put together a movie or a television series that fits within Marvel's Cinematic Universe.
Not only does it have to be a good standalone film, it also has to fit in within that same continuity. There's so many details that have to be kept track of that what Marvel has managed to accomplish with its cinematic universe is nothing short of amazing.
Admittedly speaking, though, I think this film manages to exist in its own little cocoon without having to adhere too much to the rest of the continuity from other established franchises.
That's not saying that they ignore it, because they don't, but what I mean is that there's not connectivity to other franchises in Marvel's Universe as, say, in Captain America or Iron Man's respective films.
And that's a really smart choice, because you're introducing a brand new character to audiences. You need to establish this film's characters and world first before you have Doctor Strange interacting with the Avengers.
As far as world building, this isn't as effective a movie as, say, the first Guardians of the Galaxy. And the narrative itself is very basic.
Parts of it remind me of Thor in that Doctor Strange is certainly a very arrogant and self-centered individual.
He doesn't look at his job he's a neurosurgeon as a way to save people, he sees it as a way to elevate his own status in life.
This all changes when he gets into a pretty bad car accident in which he loses the use of his hands.
After exhausting all methods in the West, he is told of this man, who was completely disabled, who is now able to walk again.
This man tells him of this place called Kamar-Taj, where he learned all he needed to heal himself, and he tells Strange to go there.
Strange goes to this place, in Nepal, and meets the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, who opens his eyes and mind to a world of magic that he never thought humanly possible.
The narrative is fairly simple and straightforward, it's just an origin story, how this man became the superhero people know and love today.
There's also a thinly-written villain, Kaecilius, that is elevated by the badassery of one Mads Mikkelsen.
Basically, this villain wants to bring this multi-dimensional being from the Dark Dimension over to earth in order for it to enslave us and, in theory, give us eternal life.
The film, to be perfectly honest, doesn't do a great job exactly at explaining what it is that Dormammu exactly does.
He is called the destroyer of worlds, of course, and that gives you pretty much everything you need to know about him, but if it wasn't for that, then you wouldn't really know much about him.
And, another thing, I know Dormammu is an evil fucker from another dimension, but why is he collecting worlds? What is his reasoning? There really is nothing there, as everything you know about Dormammu is told to you by other people and not the actual being itself.
So there's certainly some weaknesses with the scripting. It's your basic good vs evil story with a few twists. Those few twists relate to how the visuals in the film play out and the fact that we also deal with some very intriguing issues relating to time loops and how certain actions Strange takes weren't manipulating space-time continuum, they were breaking it.
But let's move on to the visual style of the film. Let's just say that this is, certainly, the trippiest film in Marvel's Cinematic Universe.
That's really just the best way to describe it. Kaecilius, and other sorcerers in the mirror world, can distort the world around them.
For example, they may stretch out hallways, or bend and twist buildings. One of the coolest scenes in the entire film sees Strange and Mordo escaping from Kaecilius and his zealots while they distort the world around them, removing streets entirely or completely changing the direction of their path.
I don't really know how to describe it in great detail, but it's really freaking cool. There's no way my words would be able do it justice, even if I could find a way to accurately describe the insanity.
But I think that is what, to me, pushed the film to getting 3. Well that and the fact that Benedict Cumberbatch is pretty fucking great in the film.
The action is good, though it's not great. I will say, though, that the climactic battle sequence that plays out in reverse, as Strange has manipulated time to ensure that an attack by the zealots doesn't happen, is pretty fucking great.
Perhaps it might not be as great as something you would see on, say, The Raid or Mad Max, but it gets extra points for creativity. The casting is strong all around, no complaints on that front.
Personally speaking, while I understand that this is an origin film, I just wish that the narrative would have been a little more interesting than it was.
I think the fact of the matter is that they were able to get away with maybe not having the most compelling of narratives because of the fact that the film is so trippy and surreal with its visuals.
And there's something to be said about that, but I think that's a major part of the reason why I don't feel comfortable giving this 4 stars.
The narrative just falls behind everything else. I'm not saying that it's bad, it's not, but it could have been so much better.
I will say, however, that they do set up potential sequels fairly well and, it seems obvious to me, that Doctor Strange will play a big part of Thor: Ragnarok, so they're clearly already gearing up Doctor Strange for his inclusion in the next Avengers movie, Infinity War.
I don't know what else to say, really. This review, at least from when I started writing it, went by quicker than I would have imagined. I'd say this was a very good movie, but I'd put it in the second tier out of five of Marvel movies.
It's a very fun popcorn movie, but I don't think it strives to be anything more than that. This is a positive because it allows the uninitiated to join in without having to have followed the MCU from the start.
It's a negative in that, after Civil War, this movie just doesn't explore as many interesting concepts as the former. I'm sure the sequels will make up for that.
But, I digress, I would recommend this movie for the visuals and for Benedict's performance. I had a lot of fun watching this, in spite of its flaws.
Jesse O Super Reviewer. Apr 16, Welcome to the cinematic kaleidoscope that is the world of Marvels Doctor Strange.
A world of sanctums and sorcerers that protect the Earth from other dimensional beings and powers, or something like that.
Doctor Stephen Strange is world-renowned neurosurgeon who, in a rather contrived manner, loses the use of his skilled hands in a car accident how did he survive that crash??!!
He doesn't lose a leg or suffer brain damage or whatever, oh no, he just fucks up his hands. Anyway Strange is unable to fix his hands through traditional methods, so eventually he goes off to Nepal in search of a mysterious place called Kamar-Taj.
There he discovers the Ancient One who starts Strange off on his quest to learn the secret powers of sorcery. The challenge?
Strange, the Ancient One and fellow sorcerer Mordo must stop another rogue sorcerer called Kaecilius. What is Kaecilius's goal?
At the same time Dormammu wants the Earth dimension for himself. Much like his comicbook counterpart, Strange is an arrogant asshole in this movie.
The man clearly has skills but he thinks he's God-like, he treats people like garbage, he ignores advice, he's reckless and lacks tact.
So it is in fact very hard to like our main protagonist because he's such a blowhard. Strange is also very very rich due to his profession which makes it hard to relate to Strange much like Stark , his arrogance only makes matters worse.
The sequence where he chooses a watch from a draw of rotating highly expensive looking timepieces, then leaves his highly expensive city pad in his highly expensive Lamborghini, is this really any different from reality for Cumberbatch?
Just another day for a Hollywood movie star. The fact that Strange is an asshole doesn't really go away either. He continues his snarky comments along with lame pop culture gags for much of the run time which only left a bad taste in my mouth truth be told.
Yes I know this is the character and it would be wrong to change it, but it just felt shitty to me, I just didn't like the guy. The other fact that Cumberbatch was cast made it worse for me, did he do a good job in the role?
I guess, nothing special, I wasn't blown away lets just say that. I had reservations when he was cast and I still don't really agree with it, personally I would have gone with Ewan McGregor after Joaquin Phoenix turned it down.
I don't think Cumberbatch looks the part, he's too skinny, his hair is wrong and his face has the wrong structure, he isn't good or suave looking enough.
Was it too hard to get his famous white hair streaks right? So lets look at the Ancient One played by Tilda Swinton, was this good casting? Again I'm somewhat split on this, should they have race swapped the character?
No I think they should have gone by the source material, so no gender swap either. It would have upset China you say, tough!
Stand by your work, show a little backbone. As for Swinton I really didn't see anything uniquely special in her performance, in fact I think it was weak, anyone could have taken the role and done a better job.
Mordo, again, why the race swap? People complained about the Ancient One yet didn't mention this? You moan about one, you moan about the other, or don't moan.
Anyway both looked completely out of place in this movie, especially in the Nepal locations. The white bald Ancient One looked like an extra from 'The Matrix'.
Mads Mikkelsen as Kaecilius? So yeah overall I wasn't wowed by any casting in this movie, very bland, usual box ticked diversity, generally all very safe and boring.
So did the movie offer anything that differs from what we have seen before in the Marvel cinematic universe? Well yes, of course it did, this movie is based on the magical side of the Marvel comicbook universe.
You want lots of mind-bending visuals that cast doubt on what your actually looking at? Say no more, its all here. I mentioned at the start the word kaleidoscope, well that's pretty much the key word here, its literally the word of the day, the word of the movie because there is no other way in describing what you see.
There are numerous sequences of astral planes, other dimensions, mirror dimensions and reality being twisted and contorted.
Of course its all CGI but its bursting with colour, shapes and dream-like imagery that certainly keeps you engaged On the other hand we of course have lots of kung fu and hocus pocus nonsense.
The hocus pocus nonsense is obviously to be expected and it generally looks pretty good. I did like all the colourful magical shields. They all look like colour coded HUD's from a jet fighter or inside Tony Stark's Iron Man helmet that are projected around a persons limbs.
The obligatory martial arts jiggery-pokery I felt was.. Its like you can't have a comicbook flick or any flick without needless martial arts.
When Strange takes on his astral form in the astral plane, yep you guessed it, he ends up getting involved in an astral plane martial arts fight with Scott Adkins.
In general I liked the fighting because it involved lots of magical trickery but they still can't get away from martial bloody arts, so tiresome.
I find myself in the middle ground with this Marvel entry, in limbo if you will. Whilst I did enjoy the effects to a degree, I found myself straining to look at some of it, or it just seemed to go a bit too far with the bizarre, although the colour palette was nice.
What we see of the dark dimension was nicely done, it kinda looked like what you might see under a microscope, but in vivid colours.
The magic and sorcery was definitely intriguing and I found myself wanting to see more ancient mystical things instead of the more present day set events.
A period set Doctor Strange flick could be pretty sweet methinks. Period though, not alien fantasy because period would offer some grounded limitations.
But it says a lot when one of the best parts of the movie involved a simple cloak, the cloak of levitation. I really wanted to see more of that and its backstory.
On the flip side I found the characters weak and casting all wrong, not even Strange himself was overly engaging Tony Stark with magic.
The appearance of Dormammu in the finale was also a big let down as yet again we get a big purple-ish looking face The main issue I have with all these movies now is they don't really feel like stand alone movies.
They merely feel like filler movies, padding, basically set-ups for another even bigger movie that usually involves a team up or an entire cinematic universe.
The stories don't really have any meaning or risk involved, they feel minor and throwaway because at the end of the day all they're doing is setting up something else.
The real killer is then when you get the next bigger movie, that too is just another set-up for something else, and on we go. The plot for 'Doctor Strange' was mediocre, it barely did the job.
I was relatively engaged merely down to the fact that we were seeing something a bit new in sorcery, but beyond that it was bland business as usual.
So overall I would give this a pass in the same vein as 'Ant-Man', but the initial intrigue is now gone, any sequels for me will just feel meh although a period setting could be cool.

But a villain, Kaecilius Mads Mikkelsen , has stolen pages from one of the Ancient One's spell books and intends to use them to bring a dark dimension to Earth.
Has Strange learned enough to stop this evil from happening? Marvel's 14th Cinematic Universe movie has all the usual action and explosions, but it also has a different type of main character -- one who's magical and appealingly flawed but willing to change.
Chiefly known as a horror director, helmer Scott Derrickson unexpectedly adds plenty of playfulness and humor to a story that could have been steeped in self-serious exoticism and mysticism.
It helps that Cumberbatch and Swinton, as well as Benedict Wong as the keeper of the spellbook library, bring so much personality to their roles.
Unfortunately, the best character moments tend to cool down and fizzle out during the big action sequences. But some of those scenes, which have beautiful "folding" effects as the sorcerers change the environment around them, are quite impressive, especially as Strange learns his powers.
As the movie's climax arrives, the action becomes bigger and less involving. Still, it's thrilling to see Strange embrace his inner spirit, finding power by going with the current, instead of against it.
Families can talk about Doctor Strange 's violence. How does it compare to what you've seen in other Marvel movies? Is there a difference in the impact of hand-to-hand combat and catastrophic, buildings-collapsing type of explosions?
As the movie begins, how is the doctor selfish and arrogant? How does he learn to change these things? How does he demonstrate humility and perseverance?
Why are these important character strengths? Why do you think the Marvel comics have turned into such well-received movies?
How does Doctor Strange fit in? How is he different? What lessons does Doctor Strange learn from the Ancient One? Could you apply any of these lessons to your own life?
How does the movie address texting and driving? Do the consequences seem realistic? Common Sense Media's unbiased ratings are created by expert reviewers and aren't influenced by the product's creators or by any of our funders, affiliates, or partners.

Gekürzte Fassungen in Deutschland.At the hospital, the head of Strange's department sedates Lake against his directions, and she appear to slip into a coma from which Strange is unable to revive her, Strange goes to visit Lindmer.
Le Fay sees an opportunity to kill Strange, but hesitates, and he survives. Lindmer tells Strange that his ignorance is a form of protection, and asks him whether he wants to know the truth or remain ignorant.
Strange demands to know the truth, and Lindmer says that he knows about how Strange's parents died when he was eighteen.
He says Strange is special, and that his parents died protecting him. He says there are different realms, and that Lake is trapped in them and only Strange can save her.
Strange is dispatched to the astral plane and confronts and defeats the demon Balzaroth, who had been sent by le Fay to stop Strange from rescuing Lake.
Strange and Lake return to the physical world. The evil entity asks le Fay why she spared Strange. She confesses to being attracted to him, and the demon threatens to make her suffer eternity as an old woman.
She vows that she will not fail. Strange checks on Lake, and agrees to dinner with her later. He goes to see Lindmer and rejects the reality of magic despite his recent experiences.
As he leaves, he tries to remove his father's ring and finds he cannot. Without meaning to, he lets the possessed cat into the house.
The cat transforms into le Fay and defeats Wong, seemingly killing him. She then defeats Lindmer, but she cannot kill him in this world, so she summons Asmodeus to transport Lindmer to the demon realms.
Strange visits Lake, but le Fay interrupts, promising him that she will not harm Lake so long as he comes with her to the demon realm.
He agrees. Once there, he appears to be under her command. She offers him love, wealth, power, and knowledge.
She attempts to seduce him, and on the verge of success, asks him to remove his ring. He protests that only Lindmer can remove it, but she counters that he can do it if he tries.
He refuses, defying her. She attacks him, but he defeats her, rescues Lindmer, and returns them both to the earthly realm where he also revives Wong.
The evil entity transforms le Fay into an old hag. Lindmer explains that Strange must choose whether to remain mortal, or to become the Sorcerer Supreme, forgoing ignorance, offspring, and an easy death, but promises that he will, at least, have love.
Strange chooses to protect humanity, and Lindmer's power is transferred to him. Lindmer passes out. Wong then warns him that, while he now has Lindmer's powers, he does not yet have the knowledge or the wisdom to use them correctly, and that, if he is not extremely careful, he can harm himself or others.
Strange then carries Lindmer in his arms, and puts him to bed to recover. Strange is then shown at the hospital, where many patients have been discharged.
He leaves with Lake, who seems to have no memory of what happened, other than as a bad dream. Le Fay is shown on television, young again, posing as a self-help guru.
Lake fails to recognize her. Strange agrees to meet Lake later, and the film closes with him playing a trick on a street magician, turning the flowers the magician was going to produce using sleight-of-hand into a dove.
Philip DeGuere was given an ample budget for Dr. Strange, which he wrote, directed and produced. The film was shot on Universal sets in Los Angeles, going over-schedule by several days because of the special effects, which included a lot of the era's green screen.
Friend and composer Paul Chiraha was encouraged to produce an electronic score. Chirara, interviewed in , said that DeGuere had high hopes for the film, and was crushed when it "tanked".
In January , Stan Lee recounted the largely positive experience of working on Dr. Strange, compared with the other live-action Marvel Comics adaptations under the publisher's development deal with CBS and Universal in the late s, saying, "I probably had the most input into that one.
I was pleased with Dr. Strange and The Hulk. I think that Dr. Strange would have done much better than it did in the ratings except that it aired opposite Roots.

Wasn't expecting to like this as much as I did, but this is one of the best lone superhero movies! I read a great post by K. Weiland about why the character development wasn't as good as it should've been — Stephen Strange's interpersonal relationships never really evolve in the story, but I guess I don't expect much in the way of char development from superhero movies.
Letitia L Super Reviewer. Jul 18, Doctor Strange magically continues Marvel Studios' proven A-Level winning streak in birthing a tortured surgeon-turned-mystic-Demi-God, going all Inception on a Swinging '70s superhero with a predictable but hugely entertaining origin story.
In this case, casting is half the battle. In this PGrated fantasy adventure, a brilliant neurosurgeon Benedict Cumberbatch is drawn into the world of the mystic arts while on a journey of physical and spiritual healing.
In putting Benedict Cumberbatch, who has already perfected his tortured genius schtick with The Imitation Game and BBC's Sherlock, into the bulbously flowing red cape of Steve Ditko's hippie dippie funny book cult classic hero, this movie has zeroed in on the perfect Strange bedfellow.
Granted, Ant-Man already bore the brunt of successfully introducing a second-tier superhero into mainstream blockbusterdom again, chiefly because the casting works but Doctor Strange proves a considerable step up in regards to story and spectacle.
Granted, Ant-Man seemed to be aimed more at a general audience and often skewed more toward comedy than drama but it also felt too polished and manufactured.
Oh, Doctor Strange feels quite polished and manufactured as well, but a great deal more inventiveness is used in its execution. Our hero predictably comes up against a Big Bad in an overblown Third Act set piece but the whole magic show is ultimately a mindbending piece of escapism.
It's not enough that Strange and Company fight evil. They do so while buildings and city streets fold into each other like an E.
Escher sketch realized with 9-figure visual effects. The film also focuses on Eastern mysticism without getting too bogged down too much in the spiritual and philosophical touchstones.
Appropriate to the genre and audience, the writers keep it breezy and somewhat light while not entirely forsaking some core beliefs.

The casting is strong all around, no complaints on that front. Personally speaking, while I understand that this is an origin film, I just wish that the narrative would have been a little more interesting than it was.
I think the fact of the matter is that they were able to get away with maybe not having the most compelling of narratives because of the fact that the film is so trippy and surreal with its visuals.
And there's something to be said about that, but I think that's a major part of the reason why I don't feel comfortable giving this 4 stars. The narrative just falls behind everything else.
I'm not saying that it's bad, it's not, but it could have been so much better. I will say, however, that they do set up potential sequels fairly well and, it seems obvious to me, that Doctor Strange will play a big part of Thor: Ragnarok, so they're clearly already gearing up Doctor Strange for his inclusion in the next Avengers movie, Infinity War.
I don't know what else to say, really. This review, at least from when I started writing it, went by quicker than I would have imagined. I'd say this was a very good movie, but I'd put it in the second tier out of five of Marvel movies.
It's a very fun popcorn movie, but I don't think it strives to be anything more than that. This is a positive because it allows the uninitiated to join in without having to have followed the MCU from the start.
It's a negative in that, after Civil War, this movie just doesn't explore as many interesting concepts as the former.
I'm sure the sequels will make up for that. But, I digress, I would recommend this movie for the visuals and for Benedict's performance. I had a lot of fun watching this, in spite of its flaws.
Jesse O Super Reviewer. Apr 16, Welcome to the cinematic kaleidoscope that is the world of Marvels Doctor Strange. A world of sanctums and sorcerers that protect the Earth from other dimensional beings and powers, or something like that.
Doctor Stephen Strange is world-renowned neurosurgeon who, in a rather contrived manner, loses the use of his skilled hands in a car accident how did he survive that crash??!!
He doesn't lose a leg or suffer brain damage or whatever, oh no, he just fucks up his hands. Anyway Strange is unable to fix his hands through traditional methods, so eventually he goes off to Nepal in search of a mysterious place called Kamar-Taj.
There he discovers the Ancient One who starts Strange off on his quest to learn the secret powers of sorcery.
The challenge? Strange, the Ancient One and fellow sorcerer Mordo must stop another rogue sorcerer called Kaecilius.
What is Kaecilius's goal? At the same time Dormammu wants the Earth dimension for himself. Much like his comicbook counterpart, Strange is an arrogant asshole in this movie.
The man clearly has skills but he thinks he's God-like, he treats people like garbage, he ignores advice, he's reckless and lacks tact.
So it is in fact very hard to like our main protagonist because he's such a blowhard. Strange is also very very rich due to his profession which makes it hard to relate to Strange much like Stark , his arrogance only makes matters worse.
The sequence where he chooses a watch from a draw of rotating highly expensive looking timepieces, then leaves his highly expensive city pad in his highly expensive Lamborghini, is this really any different from reality for Cumberbatch?
Just another day for a Hollywood movie star. The fact that Strange is an asshole doesn't really go away either.
He continues his snarky comments along with lame pop culture gags for much of the run time which only left a bad taste in my mouth truth be told.
Yes I know this is the character and it would be wrong to change it, but it just felt shitty to me, I just didn't like the guy.
The other fact that Cumberbatch was cast made it worse for me, did he do a good job in the role?
I guess, nothing special, I wasn't blown away lets just say that. I had reservations when he was cast and I still don't really agree with it, personally I would have gone with Ewan McGregor after Joaquin Phoenix turned it down.
I don't think Cumberbatch looks the part, he's too skinny, his hair is wrong and his face has the wrong structure, he isn't good or suave looking enough.
Was it too hard to get his famous white hair streaks right? So lets look at the Ancient One played by Tilda Swinton, was this good casting? Again I'm somewhat split on this, should they have race swapped the character?
No I think they should have gone by the source material, so no gender swap either. It would have upset China you say, tough!
Stand by your work, show a little backbone. As for Swinton I really didn't see anything uniquely special in her performance, in fact I think it was weak, anyone could have taken the role and done a better job.
Mordo, again, why the race swap? People complained about the Ancient One yet didn't mention this? You moan about one, you moan about the other, or don't moan.
Anyway both looked completely out of place in this movie, especially in the Nepal locations. The white bald Ancient One looked like an extra from 'The Matrix'.
Mads Mikkelsen as Kaecilius? So yeah overall I wasn't wowed by any casting in this movie, very bland, usual box ticked diversity, generally all very safe and boring.
So did the movie offer anything that differs from what we have seen before in the Marvel cinematic universe? Well yes, of course it did, this movie is based on the magical side of the Marvel comicbook universe.
You want lots of mind-bending visuals that cast doubt on what your actually looking at? Say no more, its all here. I mentioned at the start the word kaleidoscope, well that's pretty much the key word here, its literally the word of the day, the word of the movie because there is no other way in describing what you see.
There are numerous sequences of astral planes, other dimensions, mirror dimensions and reality being twisted and contorted. Of course its all CGI but its bursting with colour, shapes and dream-like imagery that certainly keeps you engaged On the other hand we of course have lots of kung fu and hocus pocus nonsense.
The hocus pocus nonsense is obviously to be expected and it generally looks pretty good. I did like all the colourful magical shields.
They all look like colour coded HUD's from a jet fighter or inside Tony Stark's Iron Man helmet that are projected around a persons limbs.
The obligatory martial arts jiggery-pokery I felt was.. Its like you can't have a comicbook flick or any flick without needless martial arts.
When Strange takes on his astral form in the astral plane, yep you guessed it, he ends up getting involved in an astral plane martial arts fight with Scott Adkins.
In general I liked the fighting because it involved lots of magical trickery but they still can't get away from martial bloody arts, so tiresome. I find myself in the middle ground with this Marvel entry, in limbo if you will.
Whilst I did enjoy the effects to a degree, I found myself straining to look at some of it, or it just seemed to go a bit too far with the bizarre, although the colour palette was nice.
What we see of the dark dimension was nicely done, it kinda looked like what you might see under a microscope, but in vivid colours.
The magic and sorcery was definitely intriguing and I found myself wanting to see more ancient mystical things instead of the more present day set events.
A period set Doctor Strange flick could be pretty sweet methinks. Period though, not alien fantasy because period would offer some grounded limitations.
But it says a lot when one of the best parts of the movie involved a simple cloak, the cloak of levitation. I really wanted to see more of that and its backstory.
On the flip side I found the characters weak and casting all wrong, not even Strange himself was overly engaging Tony Stark with magic. The appearance of Dormammu in the finale was also a big let down as yet again we get a big purple-ish looking face The main issue I have with all these movies now is they don't really feel like stand alone movies.
They merely feel like filler movies, padding, basically set-ups for another even bigger movie that usually involves a team up or an entire cinematic universe.
The stories don't really have any meaning or risk involved, they feel minor and throwaway because at the end of the day all they're doing is setting up something else.
The real killer is then when you get the next bigger movie, that too is just another set-up for something else, and on we go.
The plot for 'Doctor Strange' was mediocre, it barely did the job. I was relatively engaged merely down to the fact that we were seeing something a bit new in sorcery, but beyond that it was bland business as usual.
So overall I would give this a pass in the same vein as 'Ant-Man', but the initial intrigue is now gone, any sequels for me will just feel meh although a period setting could be cool.
