NON-SPOILER - Could have been so much better.

Rating: 6/10 (4 November 2016)

First off, I liked the film. It's good, not great. Excellent visuals obviously, but this film was definitely dipped into that Disney glaze. Having read the comics, Doctor Strange is a dark character, dealing with his demons, and he faces dark situations. There was entirely too much comedy in this film. I felt like I was watching a Disney comedy at a point at it took me out of the rest of the film, because I knew the stakes wouldn't be there anymore. A LOT of the comedic relief just did not work and really should have been left out, and this film would have been damn-near perfect, with the perfect tone fitting the situations surrounding them. GREAT score, some fine action sequences, GREAT cast and performances across the board, and superb written dialogue for Chiwetel Ejiofor's Mordo, Benedict Wong's Wong, and especially Tilda Swinton as the Ancient One. She stole the show for me, which is saying something, because I was on the fence about her casting from day 1. This film starts off mature, for adults, but then turns into a child's Disney film.
