Viewers have responded well to the mind-bending visual feast of Doctor Strange, as well as the dramatic and engaging portrayal of the title character by star Benedict Cumberbatch.
That fits in well with the more spiritual side of Doctor Strange, and so far it looks as if most people have expanded their minds to accept that connection.
Fans were looking forward to the inclusion of the Marvel comic character’s signature magical artifacts, and the Cloak of Levitation’s portrayal as a living entity was a highlight of the film for many.
While both fan and studio hopes were high for the release of Doctor Strange, no one was really sure how audiences would respond to the most magical installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
