Nearly everything I hoped it would be.

Rating: 9/10 (21 February 2017)

I read plenty of various Marvel magazines in the 90'ies featuring Doctor Strange. It's the reason I gave this movie a 9/10. Benedict Cumberbatch is an excellent Doctor Strange in this origin story and is close to nailing the character, something we're not always blessed with in comic-based movies.
The added humour actually improved the movie. Amazing CGI (albeit a little too much at times), excellent cast, great settings... All make up for a nice introduction to a somewhat forgotten Marvel character.
There are some minor issues but all in all it was a very enjoyable movie, one of the better coming from the Marvel Universe.
