Dr Strange

I was not really a Doctor Strange fan in the comic book form and early 90's Spider-man Cartoons, but that being said, Iron man and Thor were not high up there too and they are doing ok at the moment.  I just found the good doctor to have far too many powers that were always "just what the doctor ordered".  I like my heroes with flaws, one main power, potentially corruptible.  Superman is one of those characters that I will never truly like, because he is anti-everything I have just mentioned.

I went to watch Doctor Strange with an open mind because recently my predisposed thoughts on some characters had been instantly dismissed (Ant-Man/Cap America Civil War (Black Panther))

After a serious car accident the only person suitable to recover the hands of the greatest surgeon known to man was in fact the person involved in that accident.  After they are repaired to a sub par standard Doctor Stephen Strange goes to find a more mystical solution in the hills of Nepal.

He is given insight into a magical realm of existence, which is protected by Sanctums around the globe, a mirror world which battles can ensue without human casualties an a whole hoist of mystical gubbings and gimmicks.  Being the world greatest mind, Strange soon becomes a sorcerer supreme and ready to defend against a corrupted magician, Kaecillius.

Whilst being visually stunning, there is not much more on offer in Marvels newest adventure, it feels very similar to the Thor side of things.  Far too mystical and not really grounded.  It is with these super powers that you begin to question the whole Marvel Universe, all previous encounters could have been resolved in seconds if Dr Strange would have been there.  I feel that this is Marvel's weakest entry into the Cinematic Universe, but that may be down to recently seeing Civil War
