Doctor Strange (2016)

There are a handful of MCU movies that felt like the Iron Man 1 formula and this was the worst offender. I will say visually this movie did a lot of cool things. This also marked the first explanation of magic in the MCU as well as multiverses. This movie set up an interesting world and Doctor Strange is up there with Tony in a lot of aspects. I like what they did but story-wise was not wowed. Visually, I was stunned.
