Not the strongest origin story...

Rating: 7/10 (4 January 2020)

Not the strongest origin story in the MCU, maybe because Stephen Strange in not one of the most likable characters in the franchise. The villain played by Mads Mikkelsen is interesting, but does not get the screen time it deserves - a problem that many Marvel flicks share. I would still say that the movie delivers in most departments. Special effects are spectacular, if not groundbreaking. Dialog is well written, the action sequences fun and the pace of the movie keeps the audience interested throughout. I must also give extra credit for Marvel Studios for using the beautiful filming locations in Nepal. Looking forward to the future adventures of Doctor Strange, now that the origin story is out of the way.
