Inception Meets The Marvel Universe and a Wise-***

Rating: 3/10 (18 February 2017)

Watered down plot, a whole lot of "Inception" effects, throw in the Marvel universe, add a gratuitous and pathetic tie in to The Avengers: Infinity War, and Benjamin Cumberbatch to make the ladies swoon.
Doctor Strange was a good idea, however it seems the Marvel Universe seems to have sold out with this latest introduction to the superhero catalog.
The CGI action scenes were far from subtle, and very overloading. It reminded me of Michael Bay's Transformers movies. The movie itself was too short to tell the whole backstory of Doctor Strange, and a lot of that character development was lost. The plot itself moved too quickly to really gain the momentum that you wanted to feel for Doctor Strange and his plight, but fell short.
Was the studio ACTUALLY trying to make a movie about Doctor Strange? No. Like Suicide Squad, Doctor Strange was a quickly thrown together mish-mash of the Doctor Strange we grew to enjoy in the comics to tie the characters into The Avengers: Infinity War, by pathetically revealing at the end that heart of the amulet Doctor Strange wore was an Infinity Stone.
Don't waste your money on even renting this film. Stan Lee should be ashamed for even doing his signature cameo in this one...
