A fantastic breadcrumb

Rating: 7/10 (24 May 2017)

The opening sequence is one of the most stupefying openings since Inception. Just as you begin to think, "hey this is great, break out the popcorn," it turns into an hour of the Marvel origin story we've already seen at least a dozen times now.
When you tell me, Madds, Tilda and Benedict are all going to have dope space-wizard battles, I hop on-board. But this film seems to rob us of that movie just five minutes in. There is some great action here and there, but it happens so fast, before we can even take a breath, we're back in a hospital again. What's the point of being a wizard if you rely on your health insurance more than your magical powers?
There are many redeeming moments throughout, and the good doctor could become an excellent vehicle for gorgeous visual material in future Avengers or Doctor Strange movies. But this movie feels like a two hour trailer that tells you to come back in a few years once they've made the sequels.
