Felt like a movie & not another link in a money-grab chain. An Inception type comic book movie that had a fresh feel.

Rating: 8/10 (23 November 2016)

"We never lose our demons, we only learn to live above them." Dr. Stephen Strange (Cumberbatch) is one of the best neurosurgeons in the world, until an accident leaves him crippled. When he hears of a miracle cure he seeks out the person that can help him. What he discovers is far beyond medicine and will change his life, and the fate of the world, forever. I have become really burnt out on comic book movies but I was interested in this one simply because it looked like an Inception type of movie. I was not disappointed. This was my favorite Marvel movies since the original Thor. This movie really felt like it could stand on its own without having to add 20 different characters with 20 different plot lines. The humor was great and really was used in good places, although a few times it seemed unnecessary. All that being said, for someone who wishes they would make original movies again I did like this one, simply due to the fact that this felt like a movie and not another link in a money-grab chain. Overall, an Inception type comic book movie that had the feel of something new and fresh. I just hope they don't end up doing this character to death like they have with Iron Man and Captain America. I surprisingly give this an A-.
