Variety
pressBoasts an underlying originality and freshness missing from the increasingly cookie-cutter comic-book realm of late.

Total Film
pressCumberbatch fits Doctor Strange like a pair of snap-tight surgical gloves, in yet another MCU triumph. Beautifully designed, brilliantly executed.

Time Out
pressProblems arise when Doctor Strange tries to tackle the everyday stuff, like telling a half-decent story.

The Telegraph
pressPerhaps the strangest aspect of Doctor Strange, within the lockstep rubric of these things, is how non-Marvelly it manages to feel.

The Guardian
pressIt’s a tremendously engaging and likeable superhero ride, in which the classiest of casts show they know exactly where to take it seriously – and where to inject the fun.

Stuff
pressThe overall production – from the exquisite orchestral score to the pitch-perfect pop songs and the fabulous CGI – makes Doctor Strange a hero among Marvel movies.

New Zealand Herald
pressDirector Scott Derrickson and his co-writers seem to have captured the spirit of the unconventional source material nicely.

Newshub
pressWasn't a complete Marvel home run for me, but no question this is a big screen outing well worth the ticket price...

Empire Magazine
pressA bizarre and beautiful detour on the Marvel journey, which culminates in a mind-bending, expectation-inverting final act. Not to be watched under the influence.
