#DoctorStrange is a very good origins story, Probably the most unique Marvel one yet. Cumberbatch brings the comic character to life!

Collider’s Steven Weintraub described the film as “unlike any previous Marvel movie,” while TheWrap’s Umberto Gonzales called it “spellbinding.”
In general, early reviews seem to be praising the performances of Benedict Cumberbatch as Stephen Strange, Tilda Swinton as the Ancient One, and Mads Mikkelsen as the villain, as well as the visual effects.
