As awesome as it gets

I now officially have more disliked reviews than liked reviews on this website. I'm going to keep on making these reviews because I still love film. I mean no ill will towards anyone and only wish to speak my opinion. Anyway, this was one of the best Marvel movies ever made! Yeah, you can expect every Marvel movie now to be in the Cinematic Universe. I am not that familiar with Doctor Strange but certainly recognize the character and his powers. Is a sorcerer the same as a wizard? I'm pretty sure it's similar. You could compare it to Harry Potter, I suppose.
Except that this was for me, better than any Harry Potter movie! Honestly, this had some of the most wonderful visuals I have ever seen in a film. There's seriously not a moment where it looks like a special effect. I don't know if most of the effects were practical. What matters is that it looks amazing no matter what it was made with. Was I getting some "Inception" vibe from this movie? You know, with all the buildings being curled around and everything. There's just so much creativity and they use this crazy world to its fullest potential. I love it when films create amazing places and do so much with them. I recognized most of the characters or at least by their names.
This story is pretty basic with a surgeon literally named Doctor Strange becoming a sorcerer while trying to heal his hands. I've seen some movies based on the character. In fact, I think the 1978 TV movie version may have been the first Marvel movie ever made. I saw that and this was kind of like it, only it was actually good. Yes, I admit some of the story doesn't make that much sense like how he suddenly gets these powers so quickly. It doesn't matter, because it looks so awesome. As with other Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, it has a great sense of humor. Some of the jokes are a bit expected, but always entertaining. Be sure to watch during the credits and then after the credits. We get most of the characters we want to see here. A treat for everyone! ****
