Editorial Reviews: Peel back the layers of reality and behold a stunning realm hidden beneath. One of magic and wonder. Of sorcery and enchantment. Of ancient spells, secret doors and remarkable heroes who protect us from evil. Because this is also a world of dark mysticism, malevolent forces and unspeakable horrors. And within the shadows around us, a supernatural war is waged. But the balance is shifting. Darkness is winning. Yet there is hope... Join us as Dr. Stephen Strange embarks on a wondrous journey to the heights of a Tibetan mountain, where he seeks healing at the feet of the mysterious Ancient One. But before his wounds can mend, Strange must first let go of his painful past and awaken a gift granted to very few. The gift of magic. Empowered as the new Sorcerer Supreme, Dr. Strange now tests his limits, rising up against monsters that push at the gates, facing the most terrifying entity humankind has ever known.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Disappointing To the Traditiom Comment: Doctor Strange is one of Marvel's most complex main characters. It reached a pinnacle in its second incarnation with Steve Englehart and Frank Brunner in the comics. There was a TV movie made of it that was rather disappointing. Now, this. To the younger viewer, probably unaware of the grand tradition of the character, the film is probably okay. But it does little service to the original. This is not to say that the film is bad. It just isn't that good. The "real" Doctor Strange explored the envelope of mystic philosophy in the comic; this version is just confronted with pithy Zenlike slogans. Particularly in the cartoon medium, it would be possible to extend the visuals to those of the comic books the film is ostensibly derived from. Yet this was overlooked in favor of a much simpler, action-with-little-thought feature. Sorry; I can't rave on this one. Customer Rating: Summary: a great movie to watch Comment: This is a great addition to the Marvel "animated motion picture series". The art work was even better then the previous pictures. The sound track was great and really transfered the emotion of the charactors to the viewers. It was just a great movie to watch on this rainy day Customer Rating: Summary: Doc Strange Comment: Doctor Strange: The Sorcerer Supreme great show just wish it were longer and more of them Customer Rating: Summary: Doctor Strenge - The Sorcerer Supreme Comment: Although far removed from the comics, this film delivers an hour and a half of entertaining viewing. It draws perhaps a little too much from Eastern cinema (as well as Western cinema pretending to be Eastern cinema), but it's a good watch and a promising continuation of the new Lionsgate/Marvel animated film series. The story is surprisingly well crafted, although there are no surprises at all to be found from beginning to end. The voice acting is competant and doesn't draw attention to itself, and the art style is similar to the previous attempts, most notably the Avengers films released a couple of years ago. The character and creature design are imaginative and fun to watch. As with all the Marvel animated films from the last few years, the animation is a little clunky and perhaps too stylised when considering that the bulk of the comics of the last forty years have focused on realistic depictions, with only a few exceptions here and there. However, the action sequences are wonderfully fluid and dynamic, as well as some of the flashier special effects. They're not up to Disney standard, just for example, and although it's a lot cleaner around the edges there isn't as much detail as, say, the 1990s "Spider-Man" or "X-Men" animated series. Still, it's very much worth a watch, although I probably wouldn't recommend picking it up for more than a fiver. 7 / 10 Customer Rating: Summary: Well, this isn't the old Dr. Strange Comment: I suppose this is the Ultimate Universe version. He's got a hip haircut and there is a lot of Kung-Foolery going on here with a little magic to boot. I would have much rather seen the classic Dr. Strange get the animated treatment especially since magic is all the rage now a days (can anyone say Harry Potter?) Instead they went all Kung-Fu with this one. It wasn't for me but so far I've been disappointed with all the Marvel Animated movies. I thought the Ultimate Avengers 1 was fine, 2 was fair, Iron Man was awful, and this is probably in last place of all of them. That being said the animation is fantastic, I certainly can't fault this on a production level. All the Dr. Strange supporting cast is here including Mordo, Wong, and company. It's just not classic Dr. Strange... and that metro-hair cut needs to go. More Reviews
