Steve Ditko Would Be Proud

Rating: 9/10 (6 November 2016)

His comics were lifted straight from the page and onto the screen.Will Marvel ever fail?After pulling such weird concepts like this movie,Ant-Man,and Guardians of the Galaxy,I'm not sure.First,the good,the characters,they are entertaining,and well acted.The score is great and the cinematography is fantastic.The humor,while it may be a little cheesy,it works,the characters know that the world they're in is slightly stupid,and they except that.The villain,I've heard people say he was generic,but he is better than most villains in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.I like the fact that it is more violent than the previous films,after all they have to try new things.The best part though,the action,it is very creative,and visually stunning,my jaw dropped at least once in the theater.Even if most are just simple fist fights with magic,they are expertly choreographed.But the movie isn't perfect,now,the cons.I thought that their should've been a little bit less exposition,and the villain could've been fleshed out a bit more.And although it didn't ruin my enjoyment of the movie,the tonal shifts were pretty noticeable,just when their's a dark scene,the next one is lighthearted.Doctor Strange is another home run for Marvel,though it has a few flaws.
