One of the more consistent criticisms regardingDoctor Strangewas that the title character was too much like Tony Stark, but just a bit more of a jerk, and thus, far less likeable. While I found him to certainly be quite an a**hole, I wasn’t annoyed with him to the point that I hated him. For those who found it hard to give him redemption, this scene (viaUSA Today) might have helped. It shows that Strange can be compassionate and kind, even if he’s not always showing those personality traits to people around him. You’d be hard pressed to find someone who would hate a guy after he helped bandage an injured dog.
From Marvel Studios comes “Doctor Strange,” the story of world-famous neurosurgeon Dr. Stephen Strange whose life changes forever after a horrific car accident robs him of the use of his hands. When traditional medicine fails him, he is forced to look for healing, and hope, in an unlikely place—a mysterious enclave known as Kamar-Taj. He quickly learns that this is not just a center for healing but also the front line of a battle against unseen dark forces bent on destroying our reality. Before long Strange—armed with newly acquired magical powers—is forced to choose whether to return to his life of fortune and status or leave it all behind to defend the world as the most powerful sorcerer in existence.
Doctor Strangehits Digital HD onFebruary 14and the Blu-ray and DVD onFebruary 28.
