Doctor Formulatic

Rating: 5/10 (1 November 2016)

Doctor Strange is a movie that takes us to a mystical world.... or so you think. Visually the movie looks great, this superhero adventure like most of Marvel's output, is well-paced enough with a few interesting ideas up its sleeve, including a refreshing climax featuring anti-destruction that it should thus hold one's attention. But for being devoid of a compelling story at its center, one walks away from Doctor Strange feeling as empty as the magic on display. The films feel more programmed than written, more pre visualized than directed, while the actors, who remain committed and do their best in underwritten roles, provide light-touch of enjoyment....
