    Decent movie 3.5/5

    Good addition to the Marvel cannon.The humor was good but was a bit off at times. The cloak of levitation was the real MVP.

    Probably the most visually stunning movie you will see , the CGI is like inception on steroids with cool action set pieces.

    Benedict Cumberbatch's american accent really needs work and i didnt think i could say that for a british actor, Strange's personal journey wasnt as endearing like Stark or Thor's but it was aight.Chiwetel , stacy adams and Tilda were aight, serviceable.

    Marvel still has a bad guy problem.

    The Living Tribunal Confirmed for the Marvel Cinematic Universe

    Marvel Comics has a list of cosmic entities that are as famous as the cosmic-themed heroes and villains that come into contact with them. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been steadily introducing those entities into live-action form, with a list that includes Odin (Thor), The Collector (Guardians of the Galaxy), and even a possbile brief look at Eternity (Ant-Man).

    Phase 3 of the MCU has continued to introduce big cosmic entities into the mix, with Agents of SHIELD introducing Mephisto, and Doctor Strange introducing the dark dimensional being, Dormammu. However, there is also another revelation of a big Marvel cosmic entity that we get by way of Doctor Strange: The Living Tribunal.

    WARNING! MILD PLOT SPOILERS FOR DOCTOR STRANGE FOLLOW!
    In Doctor Strange, Karl Mordo teaches Stephen Strange about mystic artifacts, including Mordo's own weapon, "The Staff of the Living Tribunal." It's a quick name-drop, but an important one, as The Living Tribunal is a big deal in Marvel Comics lore.

    The Living Tribunal is an entity that looks like an Oscar statue with a floating head and three faces. Its purpose is to oversea all the alternate realities of the Marvel Universe, and judge them as needed. He first appeared (appropriately enough) in a Doctor Strange story, where the Sorcerer Supreme had to convince the cosmic judge that Earth's potential for great evil shouldn't be cause for its destruction.

    Marvel Comics fans also know that The Living Tribunal is a pivotal figure in the first "Infinity Gauntlet" storyline. It is the Tribunal who first allows Thanos to make his bid for godhood - and eventually, when the threat to all reality is clear, The Tribunal is what orders the gems to be split up between Adam Warlock and his followers, never to be united again.

    In other words: this little Easter egg could end up paying dividends by the time the Avengers: Infinity War is done, or could even connect to the Doctor Strange sequel, based on that end-credits sequence.

    Yeah I been watching it. It's been a good season. And yeah, Ghost Rider has been back with Marvel for a while now. They got him when they got Blade, Daredevil, and Punisher.

    Dr.Strange was good. One gripe is the time stone. The 3d visuals were good.

    I just saw it. IT was good. VIsuals were dope af. Only gripe I had was the fight with dormaammu was wack. Wish they would have went a different route for that. I think they did a great job explaining the dimensions and stuff though. I learned a lot about the character and what he can do
