Feature length animation of the Marvel comic book hero with magical powers. Dr. Stephen Strange was one of the most gifted surgeons in medicine before his hands were left shattered and useless as a result of a car crash. Spending his fortune in pursuit of a way to fix his fractured body, the dejected doctor believed all was lost until the 'Ancient One' offered him hope and healing in Tibet. Training mind, body and soul with the Ancient One and his pupils, Doctor Strange's scope, power and compassion grow as he steps closer to his mystical fate. But to fully embrace his destiny and protect the worlds of magic and reality, Strange must face betrayal, death and the emergence of Dormammu. (Lionsgate Home Entertainment)

However pleasant and good it is in the first third, the rest of it turned into the worst possible slap-dash pastiche void of logic, rules and anything that you might expect from a movie; this isn’t even B-movie material, it’s... It’s a letter that doesn’t even appear in the alphabet. At the beginning it looked like a Marvel variation on John Constantine, but in the end it is simply the world of the Green Lantern and defenders around him, dressed up in fantasy garb.

If you don't really know this character, but would like to get to know them, this hour and a quarter long film is the right choice. We follow a great surgeon who may be overly confident, but an accident occurs that ends his career. However, it's not the end, because Doctor Strange actually has a much more important task awaiting him. He doesn't have to save individual lives, he can save entire worlds as a man who controls magic. It's nothing groundbreaking, visually good, slightly above average in terms of comics, overall a mild above-average.
