A Masterpiece for Marvel Magic Fans!
As a huge fan of both Wanda and Doctor Strange—the two most captivating magic wielders in the Marvel Universe—I totally get not wanting another streaming subscription. That's exactly why I shelled out the money for this masterpiece, and let me tell you, it's a great deal!Honestly, even if WandaVision had just come out on this same "blue plastic box," it still would've been a fantastic value for me. The ability to watch my favorite shows whenever I want, without needing to subscribe to Disney+, is incredibly liberating. For any fellow fan who loves having their favorite Marvel magic at their fingertips, this is a must-buy. You won't regret it!

Good, not great
While growing up, I read as many comics as my limited finances would allow. I never really was drawn into Dr. Strange's world as into others. This movie is sort-of reminiscent of those days. Dr. Strange is an interesting enough character, but really doesn't draw you in. I rate his powers on the lower level of super-herodom, much like the beloved Spider Man. Heck, I saw it strange (no pun intended) that the movie's antagonist, the Scarlet Witch, innately had much more power than dozens of mystic warlocks who had trained all of their lives. Speaking of Wanda, the Scarlet Witch, it will help your understanding if you've watched the miniseries, "WandaVision". I hadn't, but was able to follow the movie without any problem; afterwards, I researched a little and saw how this movie tied into that miniseries. The movie is well done and clever but didn't move me like many other films. The actors are good and believable, but overall, the experience is a little lacking. Good, but not great. Four stars.

Great movie. Benedict Cumberbatch IS Dr. Strange stepped out of the comic books
Great movie. Benedict Cumberbatch outstanding. He IS Dr. Strange in the flesh as if he stepped out of the comic books.

Too Much nonsense
Gotta watch the series and previous half dozen movies from marvel for any of this to make any sense. Drawn out, over used cgi, weird plot, bad tie in to the overall universe. They should have just done secret wars
