This was just ok - it lacked pizzazz!

Days until Endgame: 66 Movies to go: 3 Episodes to go: 44

7.4/10. This diverges from the usual MCU norms by highlighting diverse and impressive visuals, and also conforms to them with a story and character that's basically a recapitulation of the first*Iron Man* movie. Still, film is well-acted and creates some interesting conflicts and set-pieces for the hero to overcome, even as parts of it seem too familiar.

Finally. A good Marvel movie in this year. Though probably you'll find every bit of origin story cliche here, Doctor Strange is still somewhat satisfying. It is visually pleasing, it has humor (Mister Doctor!), it has plenty quite well-developed characters (not Rachel McAdams though, but she's sweet), and so on. In a way, Doctor Strange reminds me of other Marvel movie such as Iron Man, Ant-Man, and The Guardian of Galaxy. It's like I've been invited to enter another world, and then came out smiling. But still, I've expected more. I found some of the plot is moving too fast that Doctor Strange's characters (and their connection) is not developed better. And then, the magic. I wish there are more "logic" or "reason" or anything more than visual effects, that justify the power. After all, magic is what make Doctor Strange different than other superhero. I think I like to watch it again.

Come ogni film della marvel dedicato alle origini dei personaggi è carino, poi quando decidono di fare i sequel ci perdono un po', ma questa è un'altra storia. È bello come si vede l'evoluzione del personaggio e il combattimento finale con Dormammu è incredibile. Soprattutto è molto importante perché viene introdotta la gemma del tempo, essenziale per uno dei film migliori del MCU. Mi è piaciuto come la sua vita sia cambiata completamente a causa di un incidente grave e che grazie al duro allenamento sia diventato l'eroe che tutti conosciamo. Lo consiglio anche a chi non è troppo fan della Marvel.
