Doctor Strange is the most recent journey into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It tells the tale of doctor Stephen Strange and his journey from being only part of a man to realizing his full potential. As a solo film, this movie deals with many of the same themes as Iron Man: brilliant man in his field taking his gifts for granted until an accident forces him to look inside himself for strength and answers to overcome his demons. The casting of this movie couldn't be more perfect. Benedict Cumberbatch was an excellent choice for Doctor Strange and really added a depth to the character that few other actors could have brought. This movie greatly benefitted from 8 years worth of previous films so that audiences knew that suspension of belief was critical coming in. By now, we are well aware that there are things in the MCU that don't exist in our realm and they've made magic feel as much a part of that world as a man in a robotic suit or a god from Asgard. Fair warning: there are many scenes of violence and the movie also deals with demonic forces. With this new addition to the slate of Marvel films, it will be interesting to see how Doctor Strange interacts with the other heavy hitters of the MCU. Enjoy and see you at the movies!
Overall, I'd give this movie
