Amazing introduction to the magical side of the MCU

Rating: 10/10 (16 November 2016)

Doctor Strange was on my must-see list of 2016 movies. It lived up to the hype and my expectations of the newest MCU movie. I have to say that it's one of my favorite entries in the MCU. Everything about the movie was amazing. As always, Benedict Cumberbatch didn't disappoint me with his performance. He was perfect as the arrogant neurosurgeon turn magic user, Doctor Stephen Strange. The supporting cast was excellent as well. I liked Rachel McAdams, Benedict Wong, and Chiwetel Ejiofor were great as their respective characters. The main villain, Kaecillius, felt underused which is disappointing since they got a great actor like Mads Mikkelsen to play him. The best part of Doctor Strange was the visuals. They were beautiful. It was worth paying the extra money just to see the movie in 3-D. Doctor Strange is one of the few movies that wearing 3-D glasses actually enhanced my enjoyment of the movie besides The Avengers, Ant-Man, and of course, Avatar. Doctor Strange is now one of my favorite movies of 2016. I really loved seeing the character join the MCU. Can't wait to see more of the master of the mystic artes in the future. This movie is a must-see in 3-D.
