Dr. Strange: On par with the remake, not that it's a good thing
19 August 2017
I'm a big marvel fan, truth be told it doesn't even have to be Marvel I just like superhero themed movies and television shows.

Trouble is within the Marvel Universe the one and only film I didn't enjoy was Dr Strange, I simply didn't "Get it". It bored me, it baffled me and I found myself frustrated that a character I couldn't stand was getting added to the movie franchise.

I knew that plenty of cheesy marvel movies had been made across the 60's/70's/80's but I wasn't aware Steven Strange was among them. Part of me wishes I hadn't found out.

Very tacky and thoroughly 70's this early attempt at Dr.Strange is really quite bad but no worse than the remake.

Battling the evil sorceress Morgan LeFay while having his tweaked origin story told we see our hero do..........very little actually.

It's not awful, it's just tacky. I found myself wishing Thanos would appear and rip his head off just for it to end, also because I think that would be a really cool thing to happen. Fingers crossed that happens in the Infinity Wars.

The Good: Certainly fairly charming

The Bad:

It just all looks so very very terrible

Dr Strange looks like a 70's porn star

That costume!

Things I learnt from this movie:

If a super villain is attracted to you they'll leave you alone
