Our take on Doctor Strange

Scott Derrickson brings a mystical corner of the Marvel universe to the screen in this 2016 action-fantasy about a brilliant, arrogant surgeon whose career collapses. Seeking healing, he instead finds a sorcerer who takes him under her wing and trains him to defend the world against darker forces. The story follows a familiar arc of humbling and reinvention, but leans into reality-bending visuals and mysticism to set itself apart from more grounded superhero fare. It works well for viewers who enjoy comic-book spectacle with a metaphysical streak, and anyone curious about a hero whose greatest obstacle is his own ego. Accessible without demanding prior franchise knowledge.
