It's Good...ish

Rating: 6/10 (6 November 2016)

Doctor Strange is a movie that does everything very well while also doing it very poorly at the same time. The movie through in and through out is eye candy, probably the most beautiful looking Marvel movie to date. It's plot is passable, and the characters are mostly developed. However Doctor Strange struggles most with motivation and purpose. Many times during the movie I found myself questioning what the purpose of everything was. The movie provides many broad answers to questions we didn't ask. Doctor Strange is not terrible but it feels like the time and dedication spent could've made a product that had a lot more depth. The whole movie felt rushed. Characters never really develop, and when they do it is off screen. Doctor Strange mostly succeeds in the comedy aspect but some jokes are just plain bad or cringey. The action and gore in this movie was pleasantly surprising. Fight scenes felt very new and thrilling and the gore felt dark and real. Doctor Strange is good but it's flaws are very obvious even from the first watch.
