This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Doctor Strange, dirigida por Scott Derrickson, es un viaje alucinante y fascinante que introduce a los espectadores en un nuevo rincón del universo cinematográfico de Marvel. Esta película nos sumerge en el mundo de la magia y las dimensiones alternas, ofreciendo una experiencia visualmente impresionante y una historia cautivadora.

Uno de los mayores logros de Doctor Strange son sus efectos visuales innovadores y deslumbrantes. La película aprovecha al máximo la tecnología cinematográfica moderna para crear secuencias visuales impactantes y sorprendentes. Las escenas en las que Stephen Strange se adentra en el Multiverso y manipula la realidad son una maravilla para los sentidos. Los paisajes distorsionados, las fracturas del tiempo y los hechizos místicos se combinan para ofrecer un espectáculo visual que nos sumerge por completo en este mundo mágico.

Además de los efectos visuales, Doctor Strange también se destaca por su sólido elenco y su guion bien construido. Benedict Cumberbatch aporta una interpretación convincente y carismática como Stephen Strange, llevándonos en un viaje de transformación desde un cirujano arrogante hasta un maestro de las artes místicas. El elenco de apoyo, incluyendo a Tilda Swinton, Chiwetel Ejiofor y Mads Mikkelsen, brinda actuaciones sólidas y da vida a personajes complejos.

La historia de Doctor Strange es un viaje de autodescubrimiento y redención. A medida que Stephen Strange se adentra en el mundo de la magia y aprende a dominar sus habilidades, también debe enfrentarse a sus propios miedos y defectos. La película aborda temas como la superación personal, la aceptación del cambio y la responsabilidad de utilizar el poder de manera ética. Estos temas añaden profundidad y sustancia a la narrativa, elevando la película más allá de una simple historia de superhéroes.

La dirección de Scott Derrickson es acertada, ya que logra equilibrar hábilmente los elementos visuales y narrativos. La película mantiene un ritmo constante, alternando entre momentos de acción emocionante y momentos de introspección y desarrollo de personajes. La combinación de las secuencias de lucha coreografiadas con precisión y las escenas más tranquilas en las que se exploran las motivaciones y los conflictos internos de los personajes crea una experiencia cinematográfica dinámica y satisfactoria.

En resumen, Doctor Strange es una entrada cautivadora en el universo de Marvel que nos lleva a un mundo místico lleno de magia y dimensiones alternas. Con sus efectos visuales impresionantes, su sólido elenco y su historia de autodescubrimiento, la película nos sumerge por completo en esta realidad alterna. Es una experiencia cinematográfica que deleitará tanto a los fanáticos de los cómics como a los amantes del cine en general, y nos deja emocionados por las futuras aventuras de este hechicero maestro.… Expand

This movie is the bomb! Visually it's spectacular, I can't believe how Marvel didn't give Scott Derrickson the trust he deserved. If it was "only" for creative differences, it was enough simply to find a compromise that was good for both.

Either way I was entertained and it isA good introduction movie for the titular hero with great actors and impressive visuals. However it is also a movie where I am not sure if it is actually that good and I was tricked into believing this. Either way I was entertained and it is a good popcorn movie. The movie is the story of the surgeon Dr. Steven Strange whose skill are close to supernatural levels and gave him fame and wealth. However he is also quite arrogant and not the nicest person while being no total **** Think a bit of a nicer version of Dr. House or other say Tony Stark as surgeon (but less playboy). His life and fate changes when he had a car accident where his hands are badly injured and cant use them anymore on the level he needed as surgeon. This shatters him and he is searching for a way out of this situation. I stop here to avoid spoilers. It is a heroes journey of self discovery and character growth. Well done and enjoyable. Might not be the most original story but with the strong cast it becomes remarkable enough for me. For the cast we have Benedict Cumberbatch as Dr. Stephen Strange. He is one of my favourite actors and he always delivers. He is fully believable and for me the definitive choice for the character. Benedict Wong as Wong is one of my favourite side characters and hidden gem. I always want more of him. Chiwetel Ejiofor as Karl Mordo delivers a truly good performance and I say he is maybe the most complex character in the movie. Tilda Swinton is a great actress and fully delivers. However the people that claim whitewashing are not wrong as the character she played was original an Asian man. As per Marvel standards back then the antagonist are a bit underdeveloped but work. In total a really good cast that improved the experience. The visuals and special effects are breathtaking. Rarely ever was I impressed like that. I am not the person who writes much about this and the last time I rememberer was about the original Jurassic Park. Here in this movie the effects add a lot and make it remarkable. Overall this was an enjoyable movie and great experience. Not the best Marvel movie but at least an 8/10. Take it with a grain of salt as I said I am not sure if it is actually that good and I was tricked into believing this. Bonus: I recommend the “What If “ episode “What if Dr. Strange lost his Heart instead of his hands?” for a remarkable story about love, grief and loss. Even if you dislike the show it is an episode that is worth watching.… Expand

The acting is pretty decent - I admit I was curious to see Cumberbatch play such a role. The titular character isn't entirely likeable, he is somewhat of an anti-hero but the film is pretty engrossing and I imagine appeals to a teenage audience (and teens at heart I suppose). It was a decent watch, even though I did get a bit confused about some of the plot details but then I'm not familiar with the Marvel universe, character wise, so again thats to be expected I guess. It seemed a pretty decent, engrossing film to me, so I'd recommend it on that basis.… Expand

Cumberbatch perfectly embodies Strange’s arrogant and narcissistic personality but via the script is allowed to go through a nice character arc that lays the groundwork for Strange in future MCU movies. The supporting actors do a great job of helping Strange develop and progress as a character, which gives each of them moments to shine and capitalize on their screen time. The fight sequences are above average and are almost certain to keep viewers’ eyes glued to the screen. One thing I really appreciated about the movie is that Strange isn’t the only character who’s allowed to go through an arc. Mordo also goes through some interesting development, which shows that the writers weren’t afraid to give a character with less screen time some progression that almost certainly lays the foundation for Mordo’s appearances in the future. Lastly, the CGI and special effects are some of the best that we’ve seen in the MCU so far and set a high bar for other movies in the franchise. I do have two main criticisms of the film, though. First, this origin story has the same structural formula as Iron Man: a wealthy, arrogant, brilliant guy gets into an accident that alters his perspective on the world and makes him change. Doctor Strange is just a CGI and special effects enhanced version of this, meaning it’s an origin story we’ve seen before and doesn’t add much to the MCU canon. Also, while all the effects are good, they’re bordering on being overused since the film relies so heavily on them and uses so much of them. Overall, Doctor Strange is a solid entry in the MCU and should keep viewers interested and engaged for the full runtime.… Expand

I didn't know anything about Dr Strange, but I found himTo be honest when I had been bingewatching all the MCU movies to catch up with the trend after Infinity War, Dr Strange was probably one of those movies I was really looking forward to. I didn't know anything about Dr Strange, but I found him really cool looking (yep, the same thing as Captain America; you can check out my review for The First Avenger if you want). A cool, cape wearing man using magic to open portals and create yellow beams? Count me in! And trust me when I say this movie is even better than what I was expecting it to be.

Dr Stephen Strange is just a casual minded, gifted doctor who is filthy rich and a playboy. Basically the medical version of Tony Stark. And after the accident he loses his power of using his hands. The very thing that made him special is taken away from him because of one moment of carelessness. I actually shrieked in pain when I saw his hands stitched. And then seeing him unable to use his hands left me in introspection. I had never realised how much I use my hands to do my everyday things.

And then he goes to Kathmandu to get find the sorceress who could heal him. The thieves who came to attack him also left me in introspection - what would I do if something like that happens to me? He is saved by one of the wizards and is taken to the Ancient One. She teaches him to be a wizard. I rarely like the training montages in movies, but this one is an exception, especially when the handless man makes the spiral. The part where he steals the books from the library is also very funny.

The hospital fight scene, the portals fight scene and the Dormammu scenes were all fun to watch. A lot happens in the movie and I don't want to give too much detail from it, so I'll just get to what all I like about this movie. The visuals are simply gorgeous, to say the least, the score absolutely suits it, Benedict Cumberbatch's performance as Dr Strange is just like his comic counterpart, every scene is fun to watch as it's either funny or engaging and a huge amount of character development happens throughout the movie.

Doctor Strange is my favourite MCU movie based on one character, and my second favourite after Avengers: Infinity War. If I have to show a "preview" of what MCU is all about to someone who has no interest in the franchise (like my sister for example), I'd show them this movie, since I'm absolutely confident that they'd love it.… Expand

Es un pocoOjito con esta película.
De primero ya nos dice que va a haber efectos especiales a tutiplén, muy bien traídos, sinceramente, es de lo mejor que tiene la película, de hecho, creo que fue nominada por ello, pero muy muy buenos.
Es un poco random, sobre todo el argumento, ya lo dice la propia película, hay cosas que no tienen explicación, y en verdad que no la tienen, cuesta mucho enterarse a veces de lo que sucede, pero bueno, no me quejo, ya era esa la premisa.
Aunque es un poco de snob, Steven Strange, Cumberbatch, mola bastante, me chirría un poco que se parece demasiado a Iron Man, a Tony Stark, quizás porque ya hayan encontrado la fórmula clave.
En general está bien, pero tampoco es nada del otro mundo, pero al mismo tiempo me gusta, aunque tenía mejor recuerdo, no sé, estoy un poco so-so con la película.
Lo bueno que tiene, muchas cosas, la frescura, el ritmo, la fidelidad al estilo Marvel, el guion no está mal, el reparto es una pasada, visualmente una locura, y los efectos especiales, qué decir de ellos.
Lo malo, quizás lo peor sea lo mal aprovechado que está el villano, pero suele pasar sobre todo en las primeras adaptaciones de IP de Marvel, así que, desgraciadamente, ya nos tiene acostumbrados.… Expand

Refreshing concepts are always my cup of tea and Doctor Strange is not an exception. My only gripe with the movie is the rushed development of Strange. The use of overused cliches are also present (the chosen one, the training arc, etc).

Doctor Strange

Derrickson has a spooky image when it comes to filmmaking but contradicting everyone's expectations, his entry on MCU is the simplest, smoothest and sanest of all. It makes sense. Period. That should have been his job and he made it his until you nod to the most senseless argument of all; not the visual effects, no, never. They make more sense than you'd expect it to be, even when there is an entire world flipped upside down; literally, Scott Derrickson, the co-writer and director, maps out an intricate puzzle for us to solve that is not just a delightful but an overwhelming experience. The writing is balanced on all the aspects, the physical sequences, visual galores, enlightening conversations and humor, so smooth and smartly weaved out where laugh goes unnoticed unlike any other chapter of this franchise.

So balanced is the writing that Benedict Wong gets a final laugh, Rachel McAdams- the respect, Chiwetel Ejiofor- a clean direction and Michael Stuhlbarg- an opportunity. But above all Tilda Swinton's captivating performance of a truly wise saint digs deeper than even Benedict Cumberbatch could. She pleads and cries like a four year old and blesses, "Death is what gives life meaning." and you THEN completely surrender to her sorcery.

There is a jarring impact on your emotions when her voice stutters in a disappointment, not in others, no she regrets and criticizes her own inadequacies. Cumberbatch, as the inflated egoistic mastermind with of course superiority complex, comes in handy for him, his years of practice in breathing life to Sherlock Holmes has given him a partial boost, but as the film ages, you discover how different he is from the previously cloaked version of him, and that journey is intentional and frankly a curvy joyous ride- observing Doctor Strange with an awe.… Expand

This isn't visual transformation in a smoky graveyard (a la Harry Potter); this is an Inception-level of visual magic-scapes. And even if the "rich guy loses it and finds redemption" story sounds similar to some others, it is executed so well - and the actors are such a pleasure to watch - that genre redundancies are hard to notice. An excellent soundtrack from Michael Giacchino reinforces the action (though those with sharp ears will hear similarities to Harry Potter and Star Trek). Even if you haven't heard of Doctor Strange before, or read any of his comics (as I hadn't prior to this film), well worth a watch - provided you are prepared to revel in visual magical absurdities.… Expand

Benedict Cumberbatch is the perfect Doctor Strange and I am glad Marvel keeps getting all this massive talent for their movies. Visually, it is probably the best MCU movie up to this point. The 'magic' effects are beautiful, the greenscreen work is superb. It is Marvel, so the film is also really funny and we all know Cumberbatch nails comedic characters with an a-hole attitude. Unfortunately, even this movie does not get rid of a long-existing flaw in most MCU films, the weak villains. While Mats Mikkelsen is a great actor, he doesn't really feel threatening or scary. He is just... evil. All in all this movie is pretty darn good and I will definetly rewatch it multiple times. P.S.: This movie has one of the best post-credit scenes ever.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I didn’t want to like Doctor Strange, mostly because Benedict Cumberbatch had gotten so popular that I couldn’t stand him. He had reached the point of oversaturation, like some baritone-voiced coffee that had spilled over and completely overwhelmed the one meager napkin you had.

And then I watched it. And goddammit, Cumberbatch was great. I remembered why he had gotten so outrageously popular: the man is charismatic.

I had similar feelings about Marvel movies as a whole. I had loved them initially, buying over-priced tshirts at Hot Topic and arguing with friends over who the best Avenger was. (It’s Ironman, don’t @ me.) And then the movies kept coming. That isn’t to say that I didn’t like them, rather, I liked them too much. They were doing too well, and I was getting suspicious. Surely, there should have been a flop by now. Did they sign contracts in tandem with the devil?

And then they decided to do Doctor Strange. It had Actual Magic, not just the techno-magic that they hand-waved away in Thor. Was this the flop? Would their arcane ability to consistently produce quality movies finally fail?

Nope! It was great. The plot is straightforward enough. **** gets his comeuppance and becomes a better person, while making funny jokes. Sorry, that’s Ironman. Doctor Strange follows Stephan Strange, a brilliant surgeon, as he loses his ability to use his hands and gains the ability to magically alter reality. Along the way, he learns to be compassionate and selfless, and also how to be a badass and fight evil people.

The movie is goddamned spectacle. Magic scatters in glowing yellow geometric shapes from character’s hands and entire cities fold on themselves as the characters fight over the fracturing landscape. There was a mesmerizing scene where lightning cracked over the sky for three minutes as time slowed down. In a scene earlier, the Ancient One basically destroys Strange’s entire worldview via astral projection. He spins out into the universe and hands grow from his hands grow from his hands. Inspiration was drawn from tessellations, which, good job movie! You made a great choice. My eyes enjoyed your decision.

A not so quick aside about the whitewashing issue: Marvel as a whole has a problem with white-washing characters, and that definitely popped up here. Tilda Swinton was cast as the Ancient One, a character who was traditionally a Tibetan man. The producers explained it away, saying the character was already a racist stereotype, and that casting a Tibetan actor would hurt them financially in China. While I understand their reasoning, I still think they made the wrong decision. In the movie, the Ancient One was explained to be more of a title than a name, implying that there could have previously been a Tibetan Ancient One. They could have kept the concept of that being a title, but also cast someone who was Asian, therefore eliminating the racist stereotypes of the original character, and being able to cast someone who would do well in China. They were already re-writing the character, so why not re-write the racist aspects, instead of just casting someone who is white instead? I think the movie would have been better if they had done that instead, as the whitewashing is a very dark stain on an otherwise enjoyable movie. Doctor Strange also faceplanted over a rock that most Marvel movies do. The villains were kinda boring. There was our big evil boy, eldritch attempt Dormammu, who rules the Dark Dimension and is mostly just a giant head ribbed for his and her pleasure who hates clocks. But while he is literally the largest, he’s not the main baddie our heroes fight. That honor goes to Kaecilius, one of Dormammu’s acolytes, who’s name spellcheck absolutely despises. He wants to summon Dormammu, even though it is an objectively terrible idea, mostly because he got upset at the Ancient One. I’m simplifying it a bit, but not much. He’s pretty emotionally and morally shallow. The scariest villains are the ones you relate to, and while I do occasionally smudge my mascara, I don’t ever see myself trying to summon an ancient being that would suspend all of humanity in an eternal hellscape. Ever.

But while Kaecilius himself and Big Daddy Dormammu weren’t the most compelling, the end of the movie was fun as hell. Most Marvel movies end with a sky beam of doom and then a lot of punching whereas Doctor Strange ended with sky reality breach of doom and a bunch of cool time crap. Strange is brilliant, and the movie remembers that, which is always reassuring.

While most the plot can be kinda paint by numbers, and the reoccurring issue of whitewashing is crappy, Marvel does know how to make a fun movie, especially when they’re given snarky ****s. The quippy dialogue combined with the spectacular effects does make for great popcorn fare. It doesn’t really hold up against deeper analysis like I would hope a multidimensional movie might, but honestly, it’s not supposed to.… Expand

Doctor Strange, directed by Scott Derrickson, is not only the fourteenth installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but a film that brings in a whole new perspective of magic and sorcery in the franchise. What you are given is aDoctor Strange, directed by Scott Derrickson, is not only the fourteenth installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but a film that brings in a whole new perspective of magic and sorcery in the franchise. What you are given is a spectacular tale of a man who defies all odds, to learn the art and craft of magic, who is magnificently played by the great Benedict Cumberbatch. Other than Benedict, the film boasts a stellar cast with the likes of Mads Mikkelsen, Tilda Swinton, Rachael McAdams and Chiwetel Ejiofor, who all play their parts great as well. Accompanied by top-quality visuals, interesting origin stories and one of most fascinating music scores in Marvel history, you are giving one of the better Marvel films in recent memory.

With 2016 slowly drawing to a close, the year of movies hasn't been the most satisfying as major blockbusters haven't been able to reach the heights we wished they would. I have been slightly disappointed with what has come out so far this year, with the likes of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, X-Men Apocalypse and Jason Bourne failing to live up to the hype. I believe Doctor Strange is up there with some of the best this year, which include Captain America: Civl War, Finding Dory, Zootopia, Deadpool and the Jungle Book. Not only do the visuals take your mind away, but it shows that Marvel still has what it takes to make good films (especially with so many superhero movies coming out in the next couple of years). It also proves that Marvel is capable of placing unknown directors with big blockbuster movies, like what they did with James Gunn in Guardians of the Galaxy and Scott Derrickson with this movie. It also sets up the character well for future movies as Benedict has confirmed he will take part in Avengers: Infinity Wars and possibly other Marvel movies.

If I were to make one criticism for the movie, it'll have to be the overuse and forcefulness of humor, especially when the movie started to get more serious. But, it did make the audience laugh in some moments, so it isn't much of a concern. To finish off, we are taken on a visually impressive journey throughout Doctor Strange's world and how he prepares to enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a big way.… Expand
