PlotPros:Cons:
1. Another disposable villain-It's not like the villain acted badly, it's just that he wasn't menacing, and he didn't stand out, like most other villains in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
2. The hero's journey- The first act is about Stephen Strange becoming a master sorcerer and how he trains to become one, and it feels kind of rushed; it takes place over several months, but, it feels as if it takes place over a few days. It's no Batman Begins in that aspect.
3. This is more of a nit-pick, but, the action sequence in the third act pales in comparison with the one in the second act, and the villain's end is kind of underwhelming.
4. Exposition-This is something common in trippy and fantasy movies like this one, Inception, the first Harry Potter, and it's necessary, but, it still comes off as on the nose sometimes.
Overall, Doctor Strange is an action-packed visually stunning ride that will keep you engaged throughout, if you watch it in 3D7.8/10.
PS: Both the mid-credit and the post-credit scenes are important, so, don't leave after the credits start rolling, if you care about keeping up with the plot of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
