Incredible visual effects, good story and new elements in the Marvel Universe. One of the best character debuts in the MCU.

Typical Marvel fair. For me that's good. Cumberbatch played Strange well. For me, Wong was the stand out in the movie.

Marvel fans weren't looking forward to this, let's be honest. This is nothing like any of the other MCU movies. Using magic is different than the average MCU movie. But I was pleasantly suprised how good it was.

It's also my mom's favorite Marvel movie because she's a doctor, so of course I'm also gonna like it.

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

Doctor Strange gave me an Inception vibe with effects that were much on a grander scale. I'm a Nolan fan and even after seeing Dr. Strange, I'm impressed.

One of my least favourites so far in the MCU. Still a good film, no doubt.

'Doctor Strange' features a lot of intrigue and lore, which is certainly interesting to see unfold. I just felt a few pacing issues, nothing that frustrated me but it just felt a little slow moving in moments. I still enjoyed it, the story is a pleasant one and all the effects look splendid.

Benedict Cumberbatch is great in the lead role, I thoroughly enjoyed his performance. Mads Mikkelsen and Tilda Swinton are good in this as well, especially the latter. Chiwetel Ejiofor and Rachel McAdams are likeable in their respective roles, also.

Not one I love, but it is one I like.

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.

The Incredible Hulk isn't very Incredible.
Edward Norton gives a good performance but the concept of Hulk itself just seems tired. There is no new outlook on the hero just simply a repeatedly mediocre take on a very one dimensiona

Ojito 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.

doctor strange saves almost everyone
doctor strange gets the time stone
doctor strange is almost as good as iron man doctor strange was able to learn almost all the ancient one
knew doctor strange stopped dormammu and the boss zealot mirror dimension was a big win

cons
dormammu looks were pretty bad but not too bad
training was a bit rough for doctor strange but worth it

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

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.

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.
