Iron Man... With Magic!

Rating: 7/10 (24 February 2019)

Very similar main character and concept of Iron Man, but with our hero wielding magic and sorcery over machinery. (Conceited well-known rich smart guy has a life-threatening issue which leads him to gain superpowers and be less jerklike. Then he goes and fights bad guys, makes up with some lady in his life, and becomes a better person- I mean superhero.) But while Iron Man got acclaim for kickstarting the whole tidal wave of blockbuster hero origin movies, Doctor Strange just sort of rides it and fails to stand out plot/character wise. I'd give it a 6, but the special effects were, admittedly, pretty spectacular, so there's an extra star.
