Reviews & comments
Variety
pressBoasts an underlying originality and freshness missing from the increasingly cookie-cutter comic-book realm of late.
Total Film
pressCumberbatch fits Doctor Strange like a pair of snap-tight surgical gloves, in yet another MCU triumph. Beautifully designed, brilliantly executed.
Time Out
pressProblems arise when Doctor Strange tries to tackle the everyday stuff, like telling a half-decent story.
The Telegraph
pressPerhaps the strangest aspect of Doctor Strange, within the lockstep rubric of these things, is how non-Marvelly it manages to feel.
The Guardian
pressIt’s a tremendously engaging and likeable superhero ride, in which the classiest of casts show they know exactly where to take it seriously – and where to inject the fun.

Anyone know where one is able to get a red cloak like that was biding its time in a glass case waiting for Dr Strange to turn up....so original. Even Red riding hood's cloak couldn't match this cloak's abilities. I felt the film could have started with a more gentle opening scene in the library. With a good script and storyline the film flowed along...
Doctor Strange is what you would expect from a Marvel movie. The trippy visuals, action and magic is badass. I love Benedict Cumberbatch and I liked him a lot as Doctor Steven Strange. Tilda Swinton is also very good as The Ancient One. Mads Mikkelsen can play a great intellectual villain. I think his character could've been more compelling. It's not one of...
