Simply brilliant! The special effects is crazy good! I was captivated from start to end. Much better than expected. Love the acting by the male lead, the head sorceress and the scary-cat lady doctor.

This is great! All this house twisting made my brain both hurt and pleased :) Acting was awesome, I really liked Dr.Strange, Ceaelicius (awesome face) and Tilda Swinton as First Sorceress (I'm huge fan of hers). 10 of 10.

There are excellent cameos and lots of humour which is characteristic of any Marvel movie but those looking for more would be treated to an absolutely delightful performance by Tilda Swinton who manages to make a trippy movie even more surreal, and awesome sights you would have never imagined possible.… Expand

But to me, this is all that story-telling should be. Marvel never ceases to elevate their standards even to a character that doesn't have much fame and appeal to some folks out there.

Throughout the movie, you'll find yourself engaged with the light humor they've added especially the limitless action and thrill that comprise every scene, not to forget the gigantic smear of imagination on the side of the plate.

Unlike any other movie, this one you would want to watch on the big screen. The motive is yours but I urge you for the experience of it all. You won't ever regret your dollars spent.… Expand

It is known that it took a long time to make the film, but every second spent on preparation was worth it.
The film directed by Scott Derrickson and stars Benedict Cumberbatch who obviously is key reason to see the movie for Sherlock Holmes's admires. For me it was so, and he is brilliant there. Confident, bold and arrogant doctor, who might remind you Sherlock Holmes but only in the beginning of the film.
Moreover, all cast performed great. Although Tilda Swinton appeared in typical character for her - unemotial, endogenous, mysterious.
Anyway, “Doctor Strange” has fast moving plot and compels you to follow it till the end.
Of course, the fans of the comics already know the chain of events and it is pointless to build up any suspense. However, I can point out on amazing special effects of the movie. May be due to them you cannot be bored during the movie and when it ends you are surprised that 2 hours already passed.
I can assure you of having no regrets but joy that you saw it. For romantic people, I may drop a hint about love story in the "Doctor Strange".
So, go in the cinema.… Expand

There isn't a single actor in this movie that doesn't hit it out of the park, just great performances all-round. Excellent special effects that actually gave me a slight bout of vertigo even without 3D goggles! A great story with high (and believable) stakes. A villain that is both a great actor and has a believable motive: I found myself sympathising entirely with his approach to the "problem" (minor theme spoiler: avoiding death).

Doctor Strange manages to compress an exciting origin story into two hours with tons of character development flawlessly, all the while ending with a nice humorous little connection to the MCU's other superheroes.… Expand

The film adaptation is fully revived beauty of mistical arts from comics. I am delighted with the creativity of dimensions and visual effect. Love the blend of humor and seriousness that was shown. LOve the idea of femmale Ancient One and Tilda was so amazing. What i like the most is that film emerged from the template by which they made the previous films in the sense that the template is such that the film tells story in first 3/4 of movie followed by the main battle at the end. In the Doctor Strange we don't have it in that way beacuse we seen through the entire film a bunch battles + story + main battle at the end. For me BEST MARVEL SUPERHERO MOVIE right know!… Expand

Dr.For all intents and purposes, a superhero film focusing on the character Doctor Strange would be difficult to pull off, but one of the movie's spectacular qualities is it blends together many different elements in a seamless narrative. Dr. Stephen Strange is initially narcissistic and arrogant; traits similar to other Marvel cinematic heroes like Iron Man. However, Benedict Cumberbatch's performance is subtle and engaging. He is a deeply flawed hero, but an engaging one nonetheless. What I most enjoyed about this film is its attention to Strange's character and his journey to understand more about the world. The effects were also visually interesting and I felt they connected to the themes of spirituality and resourcefulness present in the main character. Though this is technically an origins film, it defies typical norms found in usual movies of the same degree, and tense action meets satisfying drama in this astounding cinematic debut.… 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

One with spells, mystical teachers, and endless magical possibilities. This movie alone opens up so many possibilities and potential directions for the future of the MCU, while simultaneously increasing it's scale and depth of lore.

On one hand it seems kind of hypocritical for critics to embrace this movie so strongly given how they so often bash the average special-effects driven fantasy movie. On the other hand they usually don't have the heart, humor, and strong characters of Doctor Strange. The quality expected from of an MCU movie is on full display here.

The visuals are a huge part of the experience. The movie is almost constantly showing off bright, trippy visuals. There are so many moments of mind-bending onscreen sorcery and several scenes of beautiful anti-destruction that's quite unlike anything I've ever seen before.

It's also a very funny movie. The humor is on point and feels natural to the experience. All of the characters, supporting or otherwise, are well-written. Even the villains have solid motivations, even if they end up being just as disposable and ultimately non-threatening as every other MCU villain thus far. Marvel delivers one of their best standalone movies yet. One that feels different from anything else they've done thus far. It's a shame to see it fail at things like a truly compelling villain or romance yet again, but when it comes to action, humor, characters, and all around excitement, the movie is another success.… Expand

Time and time again Marvel hits it out of the park while at the same time reminding me why I hate the DC cinematic universe. I’ve waited half my life for superhero movies and I couldn’t be happier with what Marvel is doing. I mean, wow. They promised something different and they actually delivered and my god, was it beautiful.
Visually Dr Strange was “astounding” Marvel finally brings magic into the MCU and it was unlike anything I’ve seen in a comic book movie. I can’t really even describe it. Shapes, colors, rotating and expanding in infinite loops and sequences, it’s just something you have to “see.” It’s a “go to the theater” type of movie. I might go back and see it in IMAX just cause it was so visually astounding. As great as it was to look at I do have to mention the “fast-cut” editing almost ruined the fight scenes for me, but that’s really my only gripe.
The acting was good, the characters were developed, and it was faithful to the comic. The Villain, Kaecilius, was pretty good too, I mean you could see his point of view and it made sense. Also, I thought Mordo was “good.” Chiwetel Ejiofor is one of my favorite actors and putting him in anything make the movie better. He didn’t have alot to do in Dr Strange, but it was a great way to develop a relatable super villain with depth. I’m glad they treated him right. The ending was so smart and different, just like co screenplay writer C. Robert Carlyle promised. That’s how you fight a god! It reminded me of stories about Greek/Roman gods getting bested by humans or an aesop’s fable. The movie was smart like and very artistic. It’s in my forth place spot for top Marvel movies.

the fast cutting is what keeps it from a perfect score… Expand

Dr. Strange is not a very well known character and it's prob why there was very little hype for this movie. But they did very well for including a very high profile magic user to the MCU and with a good movie. The special FX were very good and I got a feeling of watching Inception at some parts. I've heard this movie is terrific in 3D, if you can stand to watch it like that. There was some weird character development in the movie that felt off in my book but it's a Marvel movie and I don't expect the world here. It'll be interesting to see what his role will be in the later movies, especially with him having a big role, from the looks of it, in the final Avengers movies coming up in a few years.

I was rewarded with a film I thoroughly enjoyed, even with its crazy philosophy and wild (and occasionally cheesy) special effects. My one criticism was that it got a bit too long after a while, and I kept saying to myself “I thought this film was only two hours.” The Easter egg is also a lot of fun, and even witty! I think this is a film I will watch with great pleasure over and over again – even without 3D, which didn’t seem to me to add all that much.… Expand

It was a beautiful movie, with great special effects, but no pictures I'll keep in my mind. The story was logical and well executed, giving a good amount of characterization and a significant understanding of the stakes, without spending any excess time on side trips. The pacing kept the movie moving forwards at all times without sacrificing the individual scenes. The actors personified their characters effectively. It also provides some good hooks for the future in a way that enhances this movie, and without ever feeling like they should have explored them further in this movie.

I will never need to watch this movie again, but it was an extremely nice way to spend a couple hours, and it gives me hope for the future of the character in MCU, and somewhat for the MCU itself.… Expand

It's visuals are in it's own league in the Marvel series. It loves to use the kaleidoscope/mirroring effect found in the original comic books, It's great they stay true to the comics and have it pay off so well. The story is interesting, It does a good job at explaining who strange is before he became who is his. The story is able to carry you through the movie without slowing down. The Action and visual effects is where this movie shines. Seeing the magical spells being cast and used in battle is an interesting change compared to Avengers and Civil War. It adds a different level and style to this film that not may other Marvel Films have.Doctor Strange is less heavy on the comic relief then usual but that is a nice change if you ask me.
Doctor Strange is all around great and enjoyable film and I highly suggest you see it in theaters.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really enjoy the movie.
This movie reminds me of Naruto, Inception, Miss Peregrine's home, but it does not change the fact that I enjoy the movie.
I enjoy the fact that there is a sense of humor in the movie. The fact that superheroes are more human like than god like. The fact that it plays with your mind as what you expect and what you realise. The cast is amazing and brilliant.
For instance, at the beginning, listening Benedict speaking in American accent really raise my attention. The legendary ancient one, not an asian, not a male. But a middle age looking Celtic woman. It differs from your expectation. Tilda did an amazing job to make the character mysterious, elegant, smart, strong but not ignorance.
The part where she worries Strange is strong in power but might go to the dark side which reminds me of master Yoda in Star Wars. (and they call top sorcerer as master) In addition, Strange rejected to see Jonathan in the past, and now he has a taste of his own medicine when rejected by the ancient one. I would have elaborated the acting of Dr Strange on this scene to show the frustration and the lost of hope.
The conflicts between characters also showcase the complexity of belief. From looking at maintain the balance of the earth, to looking for an utopia. From enforcing the rules (laws) to bending them in certain situations, to question whether those rules make any sense.
It is a fun movie to watch. In addition to that, I personally have a lot to think about after the movie.… Expand

"Doctor Strange" Is The Beginning Of The Marvel Cinematic Multiverse

Stephen Strange performs a spotless debut within giant Marvel Universe, likewise, phase 3 of MCU ventures to new and unknown territories with "Doctor Strange". After a"Doctor Strange" Is The Beginning Of The Marvel Cinematic Multiverse

Stephen Strange performs a spotless debut within giant Marvel Universe, likewise, phase 3 of MCU ventures to new and unknown territories with "Doctor Strange". After a provoking "Civil War" at the beginning of the year, it was unimaginable to think that another comic from Stan Lee could surpass such strength, unexpectedly, the last spell of 'House of ideas' plunges it fully into new dimensions. Open your mind because "Doctor Strange" is the best and most original comic book movie of this year.

He is considered by many as an arrogant and vain Croesus, and by many others as a perfectionist, elitist and talented neurosurgeon in New York; Vincent Strange earns his livelihood based on a transcendental plan: Save lives. However, his strict purpose is distorted by the metaphysical. He is suffocated by his own avarice, opulence and arrogance; a flamboyant car accident brings him to the foothills of the Nepal, in Kathmandu. There, he will have to discern what considered "real" in order to carry out a drastic metamorphosis. For this to happen, he has to open his eye, mind and power. His professional purpose still possesses its essence, nonetheless, now he must save the earthly and parallel universe.

The narrative follows the comic-book lines to the letter, originating an origin story devoted to the emblematic style of Steve Ditko, decidedly, omitting the controversial alterations of sex and ethnicity in some characters. Marvel is in charge to design vigorous foundations and motivations for its heroes, and this is no exception. Affinities with Tony Stark are fleeting and overvalued analogies, each character has its unique properties, so the mind of Strange is energetically dissimilar to the Stark.

We have an unusual team behind scenes. Who sits in the director's chair is Scott Derrickson, experienced in horror genre of the decade, with films to his credit as "Deliver Us from Evil", "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" or his best film to date, "Sinister". This skilled American director, screenwriter and producer demonstrates his extravagant talent within an unspoiled genre; nevertheless, with his qualities in horror movies, it was axiomatic that the psychedelic "Doctor Strange" would obtain this excellent result, which has imposed instinctively some touches of horror, either in visual, narrative or musical part.

As for those who took paper and pencil to write the story based on the comics by Lee, are the selfsame Derrickson, C. Robert Cargill and Jon Spaihts, all of them are newcomers into the wonderful world of Marvel. Their unexpected assertiveness and originality with the magic film was a great surprise, considering that it is unachievable to surpass to the incessant and chameleon-like Marvel's winning streak, even more for a group of novices in action movies, however, this reality is one of many and it seems that they came out from one still unknown.

Alliance between Ben Davis' work and Industrial Light & Magic ("Star Wars") is the main protagonist. Cinematographer Davis dominates the way and tone of Marvel: He shot "Avengers: Age of Ultron" and "Guardians of the Galaxy,". But even he outdoes himself peremptorily with the kaleidoscopic revolution of images and colors that spins from a corner to another. The movie rests its potential in the many dimensions that has the concept of one 'reality' and very devoted to the style impregnated in Ditko's comics, Davis and ILM created the impossible, a step beyond in visual effects, of course, supported by a visionary technology by IMAX. Although it possesses similitude with the dream world of Christopher Nolan and complexes and reflexive paintings of M. C. Escher, enjoys of enough innovation and originality on the idea that wants to project; still it must take borrowed elements from other arts, the important is that they have designed their own masterpiece.

If Marvel needs to change the sexuality and ethnicity of its heroes to get impeccable performances like these, they do it. Astral and tangible world of the film revolves around the main role of story, a round of applause to the nominated for one Oscar award, Benedict Cumberbatch. The British actor has stolen the heart of million people with "Sherlock" of BBC, and arrives again with intentions of repeat his trick. Capturing esotericism and complexity of Strange's life, this experienced theater actor enchants the screen with a role full of assertive decisions: funny, strong, but primarily, all a sorcerer. Cumberbatch could be the replacement to Downey Jr in the near future. Swinton, Mikkelsen, McAdams and Ejiofor are a legion of actors that go beyond loyal and outstanding interpretations, and it was no wonder, the best film must have the more professional actors, it should be noted that we appreciate their performances, not their characters (villain).

It has not reminiscences with "Iron Man" or "Guardians" at all, "Doctor Strange" enjoys to be the most elegant and sophisticated origin story of Marvel. It is the first film with the flamboyant and perfect opening credits, takes advantage of its potential in cinematography, is an evident breakthrough in the soundtracks of superhero movies with Michael Giacchino, has a splendid introduction of the cloak of levitation, a surprising direction, and a magical performances and seductive action sequences in the hands of the actors of more popularity of the modern Hollywood. Marvel ends its phase 3 of 2016 at the top, leaving doors open to a universe that is ready to be explored.… Expand

Right there, you know this movie is already gonna be fantastic, even if it relied only on its visuals. The good news is that along with the effects, it's got a very nice pace, very well executed humor, and first marvel soundtrack I liked since the first x-men.
Only thing that I really thing they should have tried harder here is the bad guy! Great actor, apparently a great background (that I am inferring based on character exposition), it really makes you wanna know more about him but the movie ends and he was just a noise, meaningless fly to the whole story.… Expand

Para acabar, Marvel lo ha vuelto a tener éxito tal como con Capitán América: Civil War, al menos en crítica, en taquilla hay una diferencia notoria, esta bien que Marvel tenga un poco de magia en sus historias, "Abre tu mente" decían en la publicidad de esta película, pues siempre la tengo así, abierta y no me molesta que "The Ancient One" sea diferente del material fuente, Swinton ha hecho una magnífica actuación.… Expand

Going into this movie, I’m not very familiar with Dr. Strange as a character so I went to see the movie with very low knowledge about the character. I came out of this movie surprised about how good it was, everything in this movie from start to finish is amazing. The pacing is extremely well balanced, I didn’t feel a bit of boredom throughout the entire movie, the script writing was excellent and all the humor felt in place. The plot was very good and was explained using a very good story, it didn’t have any boring or uninteresting sub-plots that have no relevance in the movie. The action sequences are very well done, don’t let me get started about how amazing the visuals were. Probably the only downside to this movie is the villain, it’s seems to be a reoccurring problem in the MCU. The villain Kaecilius wasn’t really flushed out like all the other characters in the movie and his motivation was very unclear and was left unexplained throughout the course of the movie. To summarize it, Dr. Strange is an amazing movie with very minimum downsides.… Expand

When I first sat down to watch Doctor Strange in theaters this past weekend, I figured it would be just like every other Marvel movie. You know, the kind where a rich and egotistical neurosurgeon ends up losing his ability to use his handsWhen I first sat down to watch Doctor Strange in theaters this past weekend, I figured it would be just like every other Marvel movie. You know, the kind where a rich and egotistical neurosurgeon ends up losing his ability to use his hands properly. He then goes on to be humbled and saved by science because that’s all he believes in. Oh wait, yes, that is what happened. Well, not exactly. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised to see some aspects of Christianity within this movie. Doctor Strange is a close representation of the cultural differences between secularists and Christians in the world today. Strange is your typical materialist, where he believes that science can solve any question of the universe. If science cannot prove it, it simply is not possible in this world. Yet, during the movie, the viewer witnesses Strange’s slow acceptance of a power greater than science. When he first arrives in Nepal, Strange goes searching for the Ancient One who can heal his hands. The Ancient One, in my opinion, is a media-glorified version of God. She is a living mash-up of religious traditions and ideas that emphasize spiritual warfare. The Ancient One mentors Strange in the matters of spirit, preaching that he needs to reorient his beliefs. The Ancient One argues that only the spirit can better heal a person. Strange needs to let go of everything he thought was true and instead rely on faith. This movie, I believe, is a classic redemption story where Strange recognizes there is a power greater than himself and then becomes the “savior of mankind” against the supernatural evil who seduced humans with the lie of a promise of eternal life. The one criticism I have is of Strange being the savior, because no true human man has the ability or power to save the entire world from sin. However, I applaud Marvel for finally allowing faith to be a source of power rather than science, technology, or alien ability.… Expand

Marvel, you do so well introducing characters some people have never heard of. Doctor Strange is a great example and I am not let down.

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.

This movie might give DCEU a run for their money. Doctor Strange is a personal best for 2016. Great watch!

Benedict Cumberbatch's portrayal as Stephen Strange was flawless. The arrogance, the confidence, the humor. He's really into it.

The optical illusion was psychedelic and mind-blowing! Every time they did that, I'm amazed.

It's visually beautiful, wizard karate set pieces, unique climax, compelling villains, and out of the blue jokes is what makes this movie interesting.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. a letdown for the mcu but a very redeeming movie

pros

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