I'd like to preface this by saying thanks to the folks at Netflix for making this available to me at no additional cost or effort. This convenience made the experience less painful as I'd originally planned to rent this title.

Also on the topic of Netflix, they also has their productions of Daredevil, Jessica Jones, etc, that lift the genre back up with great stories and characters, while not having to rely on computer effects (and the obligatory 3D IMAX gimmicks that accompany) to grip the viewer. So again, respect.

The movies are just getting progressively more disappointing. Dr Strange, with its uncomplicated views on plot, characters, and science, will satisfy most people (10 out of 10!!) but I'm getting bored and annoyed by the formula. The plot here was exceptionally thin: really, it could be spoiled here in a sentence. It's all been done.

Chris Nolan and Netflix set the bar for me on the superhero genre. Looking forward to "The Defenders"!
