Though I am a big Marvel fan I considered Dr Strange (2016) the weak link in the cinematic universe. I simply didn't like it, from the lead to the character to the writing and I didn't think much of the 1978 original either.
Looking back I remember not being a fan of Dr Strange in the comics either so with all that evidence stacked up there wasn't much likelihood of me enjoying this.
This animated tale is another alternative origin story and looks back on how Stephen Strange became the superhero he's known as today.
Alike the big budget hollywood effort the big bad is Dormammu but just like the live action film he isn't represented all too well.
Maybe I just don't like the blend of superhero and magic, maybe I just have an allergy to Dr Strange? Either way this didn't impress me and though fairly dark failed on nearly every front.
The Good:
The flying beasties were awesome
The Bad:
Animation is flawed in places
Doesn't exactly follow the original origin story
I really don't like character
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
Didn't Jean Claude Van Damme do this in Kickboxer back in the 1980's? Why did he get no super powers?
