I
recently watched the 2007 Marvel animated film Doctor Strange: The
Sorcerer Supreme. I had no idea this even existed. Not that I would
have searched hard for it seeing as how I'm not really a fan of Dr.
Strange and Marvel animated movies tend to stink. This turned out to
be pretty decent. It is the origin of how Strange went from being
asshole surgeon to one of the greatest sorcerers in the Marvel
universe. All in what seems to be a few months.
People
have compared this to Batman Begins which is funny as how this story
was done years before that version of Batman's origin was. Also, guy
travels far, faces hardships and himself, and emerges stronger is not
a new idea. They did a good job of establishing how unlikable Strange
is before his evolution but take too long to show why he behaves the
way he does. Also, he didn't learn much from the tragedy that made
him the way he is. Good animation though shaky at times. Nice voice work except for
Dormammu who sounded like he was on a cell phone. Worth checking out
if you know nothing of this character but want to sound like you do
when his live movie comes out.
