Now before watching this one I definitely expected it to be like every other Marvel movie that's been releasing like crazy. But, it wasn't really like all the others, in my opinion. It's a little more than just a super hero movie. It's a movie about the amazing things the mind can do when you tap into your spirituality. This is without a doubt the psychonauts super hero movie. If you drop acid or eat mushrooms, do so, then give this movie a watch. Yes, you can definitely add Doctor Strange to movies to watch while trippin' out. It without a doubt will be enjoyable. While I never really even knew Doctor Strange before this movie came out, I enjoyed it just as much as anyone else did. So, whether you read the comics or not, I'm sure you'll enjoy this film either way.
A lot of people don't like special effects in movies too much. They say that it takes away from the realistic view of the movie. I personally don't give a damn. Good special effects deserve applause, honestly. This movie would be nothing with it's special effects. I think the cool shit you get to see in the movie alone makes it worth the watch. I watched this in theaters and it did not disappoint. I give this movie a 5/5. Probably one of my favorite super hero movies so far. At least in the Marvel Universe. Give it a watch!
