Is “Doctor Strange” worth your time and money? Check out what the critics are saying about Marvel’s latest movie:
“A kaleidoscope of weirdness and innovative visual effects successfully introduce the newest Marvel superhero in director/co-writer Scott Derrickson’s brilliantly bizarre Doctor Strange.” – USA Today.
“The key is an in-on-the-joke script, which Derrickson co-wrote with Jon Spaihts and C. Robert Cargill, that ingeniously navigates major plot potholes even as it saddles its actors with ludicrous dialogue. But what actors!” – Variety.
“An engaging, smartly cast and sporadically eye-popping addition to the studio’s bulging portfolio.” – The Hollywood Reporter.
“If “Doctor Strange” can be dispiritingly safe, it can also be just as impressively bold – an hallucinogenic trip along a very familiar path, watching the film is like adding a large dose of LSD to your morning commute.” – Indiwire.
“Doctor Strange is a movie very much built up of other movies yet it still manages to keep its own identity.” – Digital Spy.
“The visuals are worth the price of admission, but this is as generic and by-the-numbers an origin story as the MCU has ever made. It’s better than ‘Green Lantern,’ but it will remind you of ‘Green Lantern’.” – Forbes.
“It’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.” – Guardian.
“Doctor Strange is thrilling in the way a lot of other Marvel movies are. But what makes it unique is that it’s also heady in a way most Marvel movies don’t dare to be.” – Entertainment Weekly.
“Happily, it’s [Marvel ‘s] most impressive visual film yet.” – GQ Magazine.
“Director Scott Derrickson creates a cinematic experience straight from the comic books, an incredible feat that needs to be seen on the big screen.” – Independent UK.
“Thankfully, amid all the film’s wacky-trippy bending of space and time, [Cumberbatch] manages to steer an ideal path — taking the role seriously but allowing himself to be flummoxed by it, wittily traumatised and taken off-guard.” – Daily Telegraph.
