Rating: 10/10 (19 November 2016)

Doctor Strange debuted in Marvel comics Tales of Suspense sharing the magazine with Nick Fury Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. The First few stories were clichéd and uninspiring Then Steve Ditko and Stan Lee expanded the worlds of Doctor Strange. Ditko didn't like Lee and when Lee just handed the story /plots off to Ditko he encouraged Ditko to get inspiration and to do what he did best design strange new worlds that no body could imagine and Ditko did just that. Afterwards Gene Colan took over and expanded it further. Lee was trying to create a world within worlds and that magic was real. Dr.Strange was often described as the acid trip comic of the 60's and That's saying a lot for the 60's
Doctor Strange the movie picks up and expands and improves the comic in areas that were never made clear .
The Basic Story is Doctor Stephen Strange is perhaps the greatest neurosurgeon in the World and he only takes the most challenging cases. Cases that'll bring him glory or money. Then one night Strange is in a car accident and his hands are damaged. he cannot operate ever again and loses his one reason for living.until he learns of the Ancient one and travels to Tibet. He begs and pleads for her to heal him. and then he gets a rude awakening into a bigger universe. Strange learns and studies to be the best and soon he becomes good enough to stumble on a threat to our world. A former student of The Ancient one and his followers are determined to hand this world over to the master of the dark dimension The Dreaded Dormmanu. The problem is they believe Dormmanu will grant them immortality where he just wants to conquer and destroy Earth. Doctor Strange is pulled into the fight and learns there is things that are not about him. And he becomes a hero and eventual Guardian.
The Story isn't bad it could have been better but its still good enough. The Effects are stunning. And the story's pacing is good and steady. The director knows what he's doing and he does it smartly. You feel the movie is progressing in its own time its not rushed and its payoff is a movie that feels natural and its a treat for the eyes.. Maybe the best Marvel has to offer and hopefully a good omen for Marvel's next phase of movies
