I love the Marvel Universe but I am almost embarrassed to say that I had no idea what/who Doctor Strange was until I watched this film. Given that I had zero expectations I still absolutely LOVED the movie. It takes you from the very beginning of Doctor Strange and his story-line so even beginners to his tale will fully understand and enjoy it. He was once a prominent nuerosurgeon who finds his hands unable to work as they use to after a terrible car accident. After exhausting all efforts he heads to a special place in Nepal as a last hope. There he discovers much more than he ever expected and a multi-universe of possibilities. Make sure to watch through the end of the credits to see a bonus clip at the very end! An absolute MUST-SEE if you are a fan of the Marvel universe.
