So… I've seen #DoctorStrange. Thoughts: visually magnificent, solid Marvel structure, wobbly jokes, very impressive Benedict Cumberbatch. pic.twitter.com/gGpqieKqIV

#DoctorStrange is definitely Marvel's strangest movie to date, but it's weird & wild in all the best ways. Incredible imagery, heady story

Just out of Doctor Strange. Full review embargoed until Tuesday, but quite enjoyed that. Very much in the spirit and tone of Thor.

Doctor Strange tells the story of neurosurgeon Stephen Strange whose life takes a tragic turn after a horrific car accident damages his hands. When medicine fails him, he is forced to look for healing in a mysterious place known as Kamar-Taj. There he learns that this is not just a place for healing but also the sight of a magical battle to save the world. Soon Doctor Strange must choose to return to his normal life or leave it all behind and take his new place as the world’s Sorcerer Supreme.
