Eastern mysticism wrapped in a spectacular super-hero story

Rating: 9/10 (6 November 2016)

Highly entertaining, and has many layers to the story. There is a spiritual depth to it, and the visualization of eastern mysticism is extraordinary. It has just the right amount of humour and cynicism to make it palatable to the uninitiated without losing the core message.
The weakest link is the forced fitment of the other marvel heroes. Even though it is a small integration, it takes away from the core story-line. It felt like the film makers were themselves taken over by the dark side giving-in to their fears and greed, not something Dr strange would recommend himself.
Barring that, go for it... two thumbs up.
