Summary:

Doctor Strange is the story of a world class neurosurgeon named Steven Strange. His ability to stay relaxed under pressure and perform almost impossible surgeries makes him perhaps the most skilled surgeon in the world. But when a deadly car crash destroys the nerves in his hands, he can no longer perform surgery. He travels to India in hope to find “The Ancient One”, an everlasting being who supposedly heals unhealable injuries. Upon finding the chosen one, he is thrown into a world of magic, fighting against the evil powers of the universe.

Review:

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has yet to introduce a major character with the ability to use magic. The Scarlett Witch so far is the only one, but her screen time is minimal and she has no solo movie. It was only a matter of time before Marvel introduced perhaps the strongest hero in their line of comics. They chose, however, to start with his origins. That was a great move. Reading the comics, everyone knows how powerful Strange is as a sorcerer, but no one takes the time to appreciate his origins. The MCU’s incredible film making ability with the incredible plot from the comics pair up for the ultimate entertainment. Marvel fans get a break from super strength and super intelligence and get to learn of the world of spells and curses. This is only the beginning however, as many fans expect Doctor Strange to appear alongside Thor and The Incredible Hulk in the next Thor movie. He will also be making an appearance in future Avengers movies.
