Plot: Brilliant, but arrogant, Dr. Stephen Strange is talented, but is willing to bend in order to make more money. An accident leaves his hands injured - and accident he never truly recovers from. After bottoming out - he hears about an Ancient One - a supposed sorcerer who may be able to finally give him back his life. But once he finds him, he finds the plans for him are much grander. -- Chris Kavan

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.

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

"Doctor Strange" by Yojimbo

A brilliant but arrogant surgeon loses the use of his hands after an automobile accident, and while attempting to find a cure he discovers a secret society that uses the mystic arts to protect the Earth from attack by other dimensions.

Yet another in a seemingly endless stream of superhero movies, Doctor Strange at least stands out from the crowd thanks to its concentration on magic rather than extreme fisticuffs. This gives some hefty scope for eye-popping visuals as the manipulation of the environment – in a very similar vein to Inception and The Matrix – bends and twists city-scapes to the combatants will. But to be honest, this often makes the action scenes very difficult to follow and I often could not see the point of it all beyond purely superficial visual flashiness. The …

Probably Marvel's best film.

2016 was another bookmark year for Marvel, with Civil War, and topping that was quite a hard task, but Doctor Strange does it with enough visual flair to rival that of Inception, and a clever storyline, while not getting bogged down in the franchise building of the Avengers section of the MCU, and provides a solid prequel for Thor: Ragnarok. The story is simple: Stephen Strange is a brilliant, but arrogant neurosurgeon, and after a car accident robs him of the use of his hands, he sets out on a journey of healing, and discovers The Ancient One and her magical methods and gets put into the middle of a mystical battle with a former student who discovers a ritual to contact Dormammu, the destroyer of worlds, to bring the Ancient One and her sorcerers down. Cumberbatch delivers one of his …

“Doctor Strange”: introducing new era into MCU

Evan Wheatley - wrote on 11/19/2016

"Doctor Strange,” in my opinion, is Marvel’s first step into the uncharted. Sure, “Guardians of the Galaxy” was a bold undertaking, but the concept of gods and aliens had already been explored in “Thor” and “The Avengers.” “Ant Man” may have given us a glimpse into the Quantum Realm, but at the end of the day, it was little more than a comedic heist film with a taste of “Honey I Shrunk the Kids.”

Helmed by horror director Scott Derrickson, “Doctor Strange” invites us into Marvel’s world of magic and mysticism. Benedict Cumberbatch stars as Doctor Stephen Strange, an arrogant neurosurgeon acclaimed worldwide for his medical achievements. After losing the use of his hands in a car accident, Strange desperately searches the globe for anything that will give …
