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

There was a lot of cool looking things in this movie and some cool fight scenes. Kind of a boring movie though and a lot of it don't make sense either.

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.

Not the train wreck Ant-Man was, but decently not decent enough to call it good. It just had nothing special, it was spiceless, soulless, it looked "cool", but that's it. Doctor Strange is likable, but who cares, if we don't have to worry about his character? Because the villain is the biggest dumbass of all time and the literal humiliation of Mikkelsen. And that's the problem. At the end of the day, we have an origin story, a villain who makes no sense at all, and a forgettable story I already don't remember, even though I watched this yesterday. My rating is a purehearted 5, as the sign of being irretrievably mediocre and at times, simply bad. EDIT: changed to a 4. bye-bye… Expand

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

Compared to what Marvel has always produced until now 'Doctor Strange' appears to be one of their best movies. Still there remains many aspects to take care of.

First of all this movie beneits from the memorable Benedict Cumberbatch'sCompared to what Marvel has always produced until now 'Doctor Strange' appears to be one of their best movies. Still there remains many aspects to take care of.

First of all this movie beneits from the memorable Benedict Cumberbatch's presence and prestance (as Doctor Strange) who continues to embody unidimensional ingenious high-IQ characters. The studio also managed to enroll Mads Mikkelsen (as Kaecilius) who truly delivers a surprisingly underwhelming performance all along the feature. But he just couldn't reach the abyssal pathetic and repulsive Tilda Swinton's non-acting skills (and good for him). The scenario is almost okay as things start to get messier and messier as the plot goes on. I guess Marvel couldn't help but throw vague concepts of dark dimensions, multiverse, infinity gems, strange magic and space-time distortions directlt in amazed our faces. Fortunately 'Doctor Strange' also takes time to question major issues in our society as the pride to be a doctor, the arrogance, the self-made man myth, the place of magic, surnatural and religion in our minds and the many unacknowledged vulnerabilities we all live with. All these interesting subjects are tackled with terrific Inception-esque CGI and visual effects, gorgeous lighting and colours, great stagings and notable characters.

We're not surprised to find that everything that adds up to these points is what Marvel has always done and still does. The structure is terribly predictable and despite the great identities of the characters, very few of them develop in any meaningful way throughout the film. Creating empathy for Doctor Strange was really hard to me. I guess the alchemy just didn't show up.… 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

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

The main character's drive to learn and his thirst for knowledge was very compelling. It could make the viewers curious about how skillful he can get.

This movie showed me that talent is not everything. If we got it, let's be humble and give a helping hand to those in need instead of bragging about the things we're good at.

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 review contains spoilers, click expand to view. "After a tragic car accident" says the synopsis, but it couldn't be more wrong. The car accident is not tragic in the sense of evoking sympathy, and it's hardly even an accident. The title character ends up mutilating himself and losing proper function of his hands by driving like a cocky idiot speeding around in his Ferrari (or whatever it is) and passing cars on a snaking cliff roadway in a no-passing zone. He gets what he deserves for playing with a car like it's a toy instead of a hazardous piece of machinery, and we never even hear if the people he crashed into were injured or died, the film is so focused on trying to make us feel sympathy for its egotistical, entitled, cocky watered-down rehash of Tony Stark. Everything about the story in this film is ridiculous, nonsensical, or outright cheesy (there's a fight scene that would not be out of place in Ghostbusters). The redeeming qualities of this film are that the visual effects and fight scenes are incredible eye-candy, some of the best I've seen in film. This movie is a safe and legal alternative to huffing air cans and staring at a screensaver, but that's about the best it does. The characters are cliche and uninteresting. Dr. Strange is actually rather unlikable, even more so than Tony Stark, with little redeeming qualities. The film doesn't really convince us that he was able to master these abilities so easily and so quickly. It seems to happen overnight giving off a really strong Mary Sue vibe for the Doc. If you've seen the anime X and the movie Inception though prepare yourself for a film that basically heavily borrows from both (whether intended or not). Oh yeah, there's also several extended and close-up shots of surgery and people getting stitches, which is anxiety-inducing and about as fun to sit through as a live birth. I honestly think a 4 is a little generous for this film since I really hated almost everything about it except the action and the visuals, but again, Marvel outdid themselves with the visual effects so I'll give them credit where it's due.… Expand

The plot was very simple and easy to follow and I found it quite good. Strange's arc is very good but the similarities to Iron-Man is ridiculous. The pacing is a little weird and the side characters aren't all that great. Overall a great film lacking in some aspects. Very entertaining.… 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

But then seeing Infinity War, and how cool Doctor Strange was, I was just too curious not to see it. My concerns were confirmed - icky fake spiritual crap, dabbling both in new age garbage and the occult. But more than that, it was confusing and boring. Bending architecture in Inception was mind-bending, because it was a dream (we can all relate to dreams). Doing the same thing in Doctor Strange, and even more so, because of, well, I'm not sure, was meaningless and empty. I love Marvel movies, but in my opinion, this film, and Thor 2 (Dark World) can and should be ignored. The ONE good thing that came from this movie was the business of getting his hands healed. If they are healed, he'll want to go back to being a Dr, while without the healing, he'll continue to guard things as Dr. Strange. Good point to remember when we don't get everything we want in life - it may be for a higher reason.… Expand
