Review #DoctorStrange is a wonderfully trippy, visually stunning origin story that intros great characters into the MCU & #CloakOfLevitation pic.twitter.com/bed50icyJE

So… I've seen #DoctorStrange. Thoughts: visually magnificent, solid Marvel structure, wobbly jokes, very impressive Benedict Cumberbatch. pic.twitter.com/gGpqieKqIV

#DoctorStrange is definitely Marvel's strangest movie to date, but it's weird & wild in all the best ways. Incredible imagery, heady story

Just out of Doctor Strange. Full review embargoed until Tuesday, but quite enjoyed that. Very much in the spirit and tone of Thor.
