Interesting beginning, horrible last half

Rating: 3/10 (14 January 2019)

While I am generally tired of Benedict Cumberbabe (as I like to call him), whom plays as the protagonist (Doctor Strange) I was willing to give this movie a try. I liked the beginning meditative part in the mountains where he is beginning to recognize his powers. But then, like all superhero movies these days it became a big battle scene. It gets so complex I have no idea what is happening (I felt the same about the 2013 film Star Trek Into Darkness), who is firing what weapon and what I am watching. For that reason this movie fails big-time.
There's more to justify a rating of 3 out of 10 is needed. For one, it is interesting that Strange studies to learn more knowledge, including from ancient books within a library and the bending of nature's rules. But again, it is like a battle of elite superwarriors, like is the case for every superhero movie. What is the case for the masses? Are they supposed to be saved by these superwarriors? Perhaps they should pay for the damage they caused, like was suggested in one of the superhero movies (I can't remember which one). As one site, tvropes, notes, heroes never get in trouble for destruction or crimes "as long as they're being heroic."
With that, I don't have anything else to say about this film, and this movie review has come to a close.
