Movie review - "Dr Strange" (2016) **1/2

Solid Marvel entry benefits from a strong origin story - brilliant surgeon gets injured and becomes super hero - an ideal star in Benedict Cumberbatch, and excellent support cast including Rachel McAdams and Tilda Swinton.

Cumberbatch goes off to a mystical land and learns super powers - you'll feel as though you've seen it before. The ending, with Strange using a time loop, was quite clever. There's plenty of spectacle and color. It's hard to care as the film went on. The cast are very likeable but it's noisy rather than moving.
