Doctor Strange - 奇異博士
Doctor Strange (奇異博士) is an 2016 film. The movie stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange. The supporting cast include Chiwetel Ejiofor, Rachel McAdams, Benedict Wong, Mads Mikkelsen, and Tilda Swinton It is the fourteenth installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
Strange is a successful and pompous surgeon. In an accident, he damages his hands. A year later he's still trying experimental treatments on his hands, but he's got no more money left. At his wits end, he goes on a journey based a healing. Off to the mystical far east. There he meets the Ancient One and learns the mystic arts. But it doesn't come easy. Frustration and character growth is needed if he's to become the Sorcerer Supreme. As Strange is learning, a former student is causing havoc and this draws Strange into the fight. Eventually this leads to an epic showdown in Hong Kong.
This was a pretty easy movie to watch. Lots of drama and it kind of sticks to what I remember Strange's origins to be in the comics. With some slight variations. But very close. And than its spun into the MCU with the mid credit scene.
