Who would I recommend this to?
No one, really.

What is this about?
A top surgeon gets into an accident, loses the full use of his hands, turns into a sorcerer/superhero.

When would be a good time to watch this?
Never.

Where does it take place?
New York and Nepal.

Why did I decide to watch this?
It was next in the MCU.

How did I like this?
Why are 90% of the Marvel heroes so unlikable. Dr. Strange is such a jerk to the doctors who saved his life. His first comment is that he could have done his hand surgery better! He's lucky to still have his hands at all! I get that his career is over because his hands will never work the same, but he could have lost both of them or his life.

Why is "the ancient one" played by a white woman? They couldn't use a Nepalese person since they're in Nepal? The original character is Tibetan. I had to look this up because WTF?! They said they wrote the role specifically for this actress and was never going to make the character Asian to avoid stereotypes. Um, how about you just avoid writing stereotypes into the script?! Asian people still exist!

Have you seen Dr. Strange? What did you think?
If not, would you watch it?
