Review of Doctor Strange (2016) by Dtl — 05 Nov 2016

It was extremely well done, but not special. It was a beautiful movie, with great special effects, but no pictures I'll keep in my mind. The story was logical and well executed, giving a good amount of characterization and a significant understanding of the stakes, without spending any excess time on side trips. The pacing kept the movie moving forwards at all times without sacrificing the individual scenes. The actors personified their characters effectively. It also provides some good hooks for the future in a way that enhances this movie, and without ever feeling like they should have explored them further in this movie.

I will never need to watch this movie again, but it was an extremely nice way to spend a couple hours, and it gives me hope for the future of the character in MCU, and somewhat for the MCU itself.
