Doctor Strange is the story of Stephen Strange. A neurosurgeon, Stephen Strange was successful at performing some of the most impossible surgeries that no other doctor could possibly understand or attempt to do. He was very arrogant and and only cared about himself. Until one night while going to an event, Strange swerved out of control while driving and looking at his phone and crashed his Lamborghini. The end result was seven extensive surgeries on his hands and body that left him unable to work. During his recovery, he tries to find any way possible to get back to work.
The first thing that I really enjoyed about the movie was that it was the most accurate origins movie that Marvel Studios/Disney has put together to date. All of it seemed like it was straight out of a Doctor Strange comic book. It clearly captured the arrogance of Doctor Strange before he became the Sorcerer Supreme. Benedict Cumberbatch did an amazing job playing Doctor Strange. The way Scott Derrickson gave Doctor Strange an amazing debut into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Rachel McAdams did good and was hilarious as Christine Palmer. Despite all of the problems that fans had with the "white-washed" casting, Tilda Swinton brought a different and amazing take on the role of the Ancient One. Chiwetel Ejiofor played Baron Mordo very well. He truly grasped the character of Mordo which is passionate in what he believes in, headstrong, skilled sorcerer, and true to the ancient ways of the natural laws. Mads Mikkelsen played one the MCU's best villains since Loki. In the role of Kaecilius, his main objective was to get revenge on the Ancient One and ready the Earth and universe for Dormammu. Dormammu is an interdimensional being who lives in the Dark Dimension and feeds on other dimensions in the Multiverse. Benedict Cumberbatch played the voice of Dormammu and provided his facial structure for the character.
All of the action scenes were definitely the beginning of a new era for Marvel. They essentially combined a kung fu fighting style with mind-bending effects of magic and sorcery. It was a mix of Fists of Legend and Inception. Most people described as being on acid. The movie does contain an Infinity Stone. Its the 5th one to be revealed out the six. Doctor Strange's Eye of Agamotto contains the Time stone inside of it. That's what gave Strange his powers to manipulate time in the fight with Kaecilius and Dormammu. Baron Mordo mentioned that messing with the natural order would have a price. I'm guessing that Mordo meant that something or someone would come back and attack Doctor Strange. Maybe Dormammu will take his full form in the sequel and defeat Doctor Strange or maybe it will happen in Avengers Infinity War when Thanos will come and try to collect all six Infinity Stones for the Infinity Gauntlet. The mid-credit scene is Thor asking Doctor Strange for his help to find Odin. Doctor Strange pretty much says when you find him, will you leave? Thor says promptly and that leads into Thor Ragnarok. In the end credits scene, Baron Mordo begins his ascension and quest for power after feeling betrayed by the Ancient One and Doctor Strange's choice to manipulate time. He feels like there are too many sorcerers in the world.
The movie overall I give a 9.9/10. It was definitely the best comic book movie of 2016 in my opinion. One of the main reasons why is because it's different from anything that's come out. We have never seen a superhero movie of this caliber with the effects and almost perfect origin portrayal. Don't get me wrong, Captain America Civil War was great, but it was predictable. At some point we all knew that Cap and Iron Man would most likely set aside their differences for a hot second and then get back to trying to kill each other. Great storyline, but predictable plot and climax. Doctor Strange changed the game as far as superhero movies go. The introduction of the Multiverse put it over the top. All of the crazy effects, never seen before fight scenes, and the intro of a new type of hero did the MCU wonders. The only possible type of movie that could top this is if Justice League Dark by DC Comics comes full circle.
