Sorry to say but this is lots of effects for fluff. It is getting too facile. It is funny enough and fun enough to watch the last half. Watchable.

This movie has a couple problems, as most do. Most of them are quite minor, but there is one scene in particular, where Strange talks to that one girl who follows him around the movie while she treats his injuries, that will annoy most viewers.But this movie still wins you over solely through it's usage of CGI and special effects. This movie is drop dead gorgeous. Everything, EVERYTHING, in this movie, is absolutely beautiful. EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!And, while the climax may seem underwhelming at times, some scenes seem to exist to tick you off, and the origin story is... odd, it's worth it just for those visual effects. And the fight scene in the hospital. That's a great scene as well. My one thought, though, is how stupid this movie must have looked when it was first shot, before all the effects and greenscreens and such were added. It probably looked really dumb.

I've seen this one 3 times and I still have fun. There's great acting from Cumberbatch and the gang, not mention the truly incredible & stunning visual effects. It's also got a nice well rounded story. Excited to see Doctor Strange in the MCU, and I can't wait to see where they take his character next.

So Marvel told the basic origin story of Doctor Strange (Earth's supposed Sorcerer Supreme). But, didn't it feel a bit undeserved? Like really, what did Dr. Strange have to suffer through in order to become the master of mysticism? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! However, Marvel does have a chance to rectify this situation and make this character one of their better franchise movies by simply following up the first movie and making the classic magnum opus Triumph and Torment. If they made this as their second movie, not only would it flesh out Dr. Strange more by showing that he actually deserved the title, but it would also introduce Marvel to the something that it has sorely lacked throughout ALL it's movies; a complex villain more worthy than all of its heroes put together: Dr. Doom. After butchering nearly all of the Thor movies and killing off Odin like some B-rate character, the fans deserve this movie! Stop being lazy Marvel and finally do your films some justice!
