Special Effects Masterpiece ! - otherwise, so-so

Rating: 5/10 (19 April 2017)

Doctor Strange was my favorite comic book when growing up, bar none ... I owned virtually every single issue (wish I still had them !) ... to be honest, I don't remember Dr. Strange engaging in fist fights, etc., I only remember a lot of 'spell-casting' (the 7 Rings of Raggador, etc.) ...
this film has some of the best Special-Effects available to date, truly groundbreaking quality - however, for me, that's where the interest ends ... the acting is all OK, Cumberbatch is the perfectly-cast lead character, and the rest were interesting and competent ... but, other than that, it's just a couple hours of 'eye candy' ...
I saw it at the theater in 3-D, and I own the DVD ... I watched it again, then put it away, it's not one of my DVDs that I can watch over and over again ...
