To describe Doctor Strange in a few words? Oh, well I think that is impossible.

Marvel’s “Doctor Strange” follows the story of the talented neurosurgeon Doctor Stephen Strange who, after a tragic car accident, must put ego aside and learn the secrets of a hidden world of mysticism and alternate dimensions. Based in New York City’s Greenwich Village, Doctor Strange must act as an intermediary between the real world and what lies beyond, utilising a vast array of metaphysical abilities and artifacts to protect the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Ok, so this movie is something else. Is this really Marvel movie? Well, it is based on a Marvel comic book and it has that MCU style of telling us that story, but this movie truly is something else. The story is great and it’s interesting. My friends from school were telling me to watch an 2007. animated movie Doctor Strange, but I haven’t watched it yet because I thought it would ruin it. I only knew that Strange was a neurosurgeon and that he’s gonna get his powers… somehow. I watched the trailer and I can say that they didn’t show us much and I like that. The pace in this movie is great. The movie begins with one hell of an action scene and only that few minutes in will interest you for the rest. I will say no more about the story because everything I say would probably be a spoiler and, trust me, for an awesome movie like this, it would be a tragic.

The acting in this movie is great. Benedict Cumberbatch (Dr. Stephen Strange) is born to act Dr. Strange. His character is so funny and it brakes all those other serious lines. Rachel McAdams (Christine Palmer) did also great. She is not in this movie much, but when she’s in, she’s great. Chiwetel Ejiofor (Mordo) is good, but he has a lot of cheese lines. Honestly, I don’t take that as a big minus because… It’s Marvel. Kaecilius (Mads Mikkelsen), the main villain in this movie was really cool, but he was not well developed. He just jumped around and fights. The chemistry between characters is great. I really liked the chemistry between Strange and “The Ancient One”.

The visual effects are AWESOME!!! The portals, Dark Dimension, Loop, everything look so good. I just can’t describe how good it looks. It really reminds me of a Inception and when you see the trailer you’ll say:” Hey, that’s totally Inception rip-off!” But honestly, it’s not. This is way better. The soundtrack is great, although it really reminds me of Star Trek: Beyond somehow. The camera movement and editing are good as well, there is no rough cuts or anything like that. There is actually something worth mentioning. There are a lot of Vertigo dolly-zoom effects. I can’t remember the last time when I saw that much Vertigo effects.

At the end, Doctor Strange truly is one of the best Marvel movies. I can say that it is in the same rank as Civil War, although the hype was not that big.

My rating: 10/10
