Doctor Strange, Marvel's 14th Cinematic Universe movie, is the story of how an arrogant, egocentric neurosurgeon who thinks he is the best, becomes the Sorcerer Supreme, ruler of the Mystic Arts through study and hardwork and saves the Earth from the hands of Dormammu, who is the Lord of the Realm of Darkness with the help of Baron Mordo and Wong.

In my view, this is one of the best movies made by Marvel after Avengers 1. I thoroughly enjoyed it from start till the end. Though there are many questions arising of not giving chance to Asian actors for the respective roles in the movies (mainly the character of The Ancient One), but Tilda Swinton (superb as the White Witch in the Chronicles of Narnia Series) gave it all! She was fantastic and did proper justice to the character.

Now coming to the character for whom this movie was worth watching not just once, but many times... you all know him as Sherlock Holmes from BBC... the one and only Benedict Cumberbatch! I just love what he does. Nobody could have played Doctor Strange better than him. And the Marvel Cinematic Universe is giving the audience a great treat every time by bringing all the fan favorite actors and actresses and making them a part of one big family starting from Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson to name a few!

Doctor Strange is filled with superb special effects and is a visual treat for people of all age groups. From start till the end you will witness amazing visual effects which will root you in your seats!
