Dr. Strange has always been my least favorite superhero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. His magic abilities always seem unclearly defined and he is a generally unlikable character. The best part of this movie is that Rachel McAdams reprises her role as Strange’s love interest, Christine. Strange attends her wedding but during the celebration, an…
