Doctor Strange, the newest entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe is strangely different while also being the same as every other Superhero origin story.
In many regards it was classic marvel formula: main character finds a new source of power, learns to control it, is good at it, another guy with similar powers is better than him, they face off, the end.
Also it's similar jokes, a similar Stan Lee cameo and the usual references to the universe. In story structure this movie really doesn't give you anything new.
The new things it brings to the table are great though. We learn about multiple universes and the handling of time. And more importantly we get to see it. And whenever we leave the real world I was blown away.
Our very first trip to this crazy world is visually stunning. We see influences from inception but also from classic paintings of Salvdor Dhali and similar abstract artists.
I loved the magic and the idea of adding magic to the universe, just wish they'd slip away from their formular a little more. I'm rating this movie 3.5 out of 5 stars and a like.
I just hope his powers will be used in future movies and he won't feel useless like Vision.
