Doctor Strange

CHASE ***
As the newest installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, "Dr. Strange" was an enjoyable film within its own right.  The filmmakers did a lot of things right and while it may not be perfect, I still really enjoyed it.  Played by Benedict Cumberbatch, "Dr. Strange" is about a doctor who learns to access spiritual powers and how he becomes a hero within that world.  What I liked most about the movie is how unique it is.  The visuals are a sight to behold and the characters are really enjoyable, especially Benedict Cumberbatch as our main protagonist.  The story does feel a little bit like the original "Iron Man" and follows through some similar beats.  But I feel that they made enough changes that make it it's own thing. I like that it focuses on the spiritual aspect of the comics and I'm surprised how well it fits in the Marvel Universe.  It does have its flaws, though, as some of humor can be a little hit-and-miss and the climax feels a little underwhelming especially when compared to earlier action sequences.  Overall, I really enjoyed "Dr. Strange" and those who are looking for a change-up in the superhero genre can find it here.
