Based in New York's Greenwich Village, Doctor Strange must act as an intermediary between the real world and what lies beyond, utilizing a vast array of metaphysical abilities and artifacts to protect the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Thoughts;

All in all this movie wasn't so bad. It had more in the beginning than it really needed to. I find that most marvel movies are either over the top with back story or not enough and you get easily confused. I can see why it wasn't more popular.



The movie starts off in surgery with Dr. Strange and Rachel McAdams. From there he gets into his car and gets into a major accident, which by the way it looked on the screen, no one would have survived. He did and his hands are rendered useless due to all the pins needed to fix it. From here he starts his journey to try to “fix himself”



He is speaking with a doctor who tells the story of a man she treated who was paralyzed and sought treatment elsewhere, she hadn't heard from him, Dr. Strange tracks him down and finds him playing basketball. He gets the information he is looking for and goes on a mission to heal.
In Kathmandu he meets the Ancient One and after awhile on the streets she agrees to teach him. At first he doesn't believe in what they are telling him, but he reads the books and learns things about himself and the others, from here he becomes stronger and helps to defeat the people who want to end the world.
