How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A visually dazzling origin story about a man learning to surrender his need for control and embrace cosmic mystery. The film balances spectacle with genuine introspection about what it means to rebuild yourself from scratch.

Reviews
I've seen this four times, and I never retain it. I love the MCU in general, and I enjoy Doctor Strange as a character in the other movies, but maybe he didn't need an origin story. Mads Mikkelsen as a villain should be a slam dunk, but he does nothing for me as Kaecilius. I usually forget he has even been in the MCU, so if they want to go ahead and cast him in a cooler role, I'm on board with pretending this never happened.
