Docteur Strange

This the fourth part in the animated film series! After Ultimate Avengers, Ultimate Avengers 2: Rise of the Panther and Iron Man this is one great addition. From these four movies I enjoyed this one the best! Why? Because I didn't know much about Dr. Strange. It is really fun to learn more about this super hero. (I remember seeing him in a Spiderman comic and that he was specialized in the supernatural and magic! That was it.) This movie does a hell of a job in showing who he is and what he is capable of. Of course the length of the movie didn't allow further characterization or lore surrounding the character. But we learn enough in an incredibly fast pace. Personally I didn't want this movie to end. I loved every minute of it. Because of the magic and mysticism that surrounds this marvel hero the visual effects are very impressive and beautiful. But what stuck me the most was the attention to the psyche of the main character Strange. You'll be witness of a big change in personality. This character development is not something we see often in cartoons about super heroes. Even these superheroes have human problems to deal with. They are not perfect and are just as flawed as we are. That is one of the main reasons why I love Marvel. Doctor. In this case it is even more interesting since Strange really has no desire to be a hero. He basically gets thrown into an adventure of a lifetime because he wants to continue being the best in what he does. That already makes him quite the character. Strange is still the best in this series of animated marvel movies and it makes me wonder why they haven't been able to approach the later ones with the same sophistication and finesse.

Definitely one to check out if you haven't done so by now.

Pretty good origin story on the good doctor. These animated features by Marvel are quite a surprise, as they take themselves seriously enough for you to get invested but they are also quite fun to watch, and although the animation is not top notch it is passable enough for its budget. Well done.

i liked this movie much more than i thought i would.it starts off slow,but somewhere along the line,it becomes interesting.i'm not sure how faithful it is to the comic book.either way,i thought it was pretty good.the voice talent fit the characters perfectly.the animation is excellent.the action scenes are very well done.i also thought the back-story was really good and nicely developed,as was the character of Dr.Strange.the people behind this film put a lot of effort into it.of the four animated movies made by Marvel(the other ones being The Invincible iron man,and Ultimate Avengers 1 and 2),i think this is the best one so far.it is also the one i had the lowest hopes for going in.it is much darker in tone than the previous animated marvel films,but that is definitely appropriate for the subject matter.for me,Doctor Strange is an 8/10.

I've seen all the marvel/Lionsgate animated feature length movies and all except this one has been disappointing. Doctor Strange was a character i've obviously not come across as i've just watched mainstream superheros but after this i was surfing the internet to find out more about this comic character. Its a fairly dark theme good for adults and does provide a coherent story as apposed to the other marvel Lionsgate movies which i thought were abstract film reels glued together. Watch this and to the people who made this WELL DONE can we have more of the same please.

Highly recommended

Having been severely underwhelmed by The Invincible Iron Man I sat down to watch Doctor Strange as these were the two that I saw recommended when reviewing one of the Justice League animated movies. I was worried that Doctor Strange would be the same, but while it does suffer from a rushed and anti-climatic ending and from trying to cram too much in it is actually a huge improvement. The animation is wonderful, the backgrounds and colours are very detailed and bold and the character designs are more fluid. The music score is both rousing and with a haunting under-current, the writing is intelligent and the story is both coherent and compelling, even though it does have a feeling of cramming too much in occasionally. The origin story of Dr Strange before he became Dr Strange is just fascinating. The characters are identifiable and engaging, somewhat standard(true of a lot of superhero movies though) but there is a clear sense of conflict. The titular character is one of those tormented characters who has a huge change in psyche between when he is himself or Doctor Strange, it is fascinating to watch. And Mordo and Dormammu are great villains. The voice acting is simply great, Bryce Johnson and Kevin Michael Richardson are the standouts. Overall, very good. 8/10 Bethany Cox
