Here are some of the initial reactions from critics:
DOCTOR STRANGE is guilty of *all* the usual Marvel movie problems, but Tilda & some VERY trippy visuals make it a spectacle worth savoring.

also, DOCTOR STRANGE is something i never thought i'd see: a Marvel movie with a good original score. what a time to be alive.

I wouldn't put #DoctorStrange in Marvel's top five but it's an entertaining movie with big ideas, gorgeous CGI and unique action sequences.

Even beyond its insane visuals (cool stuff like you've never seen before), #DoctorStrange is tons of fun. A bit formulaic, but very solid.

Review #DoctorStrange is a wonderfully trippy, visually stunning origin story that intros great characters into the MCU & #CloakOfLevitation http://pic.twitter.com/bed50icyJE

Cumberbatch owns Doctor Strange, the movie is funnier than I was expecting, a throwback to a pre-MCU Iron Man-like standalone story.

Prepare to dig #DoctorStrange! Not the strongest script, but it legitimately adds new colors to the MCU, and the action is beautiful & crazy

I liked DOCTOR STRANGE. The most self-contained Marvel movie in a long time. Fun visuals. Almost felt like a reboot of the first IRON MAN.

not going to say DOCTOR STRANGE is the best Marvel movie. It's not. But it's an awesome Doctor Strange movie with visuals that will floor u.

Get a feel for how trippy this puppy will be by listening to the end credits music:[h/t: Collider]
