Sorcerers DSSS.jpg

Doctor Strange: The Sorcerer Supreme is the fourth feature from Marvel Animation and Lions Gate Home Entertainment. It was released on August 14, 2007, the same year as The Invincible Iron Man. Both films focus on the origins of then-lesser known superheroes, this one being Doctor Strange.

After losing his sister on his own operating table, Stephen Strange became a self-absorbed doctor only focusing on seemingly impossible cases to further his own reputation. However, one night he witnesses something he should not have been able to: a group of sorcerers fighting a large creature. Later, he discovers that something is afflicting the city's children putting them into comas. After refusing to help them, Strange sees the spirits of the children while driving home causing him to crash.

Strange severely injures his hands and is unable to perform everyday tasks, forcing him out of his profession. He travels the world spending all his money looking for a cure but finds none. He tries to commit suicide but Wong saves him and tells him to go to Tibet. Once there, Strange meets the Ancient One who won't just heal his hands but offers spiritual guidance. Strange becomes frustrated that his hands aren't healing but Ancient One helps him come to terms with his sister's death. Strange then begins to learn magic and martial arts.

Meanwhile, the forces of evil are gathering and launching attacks on the Sanctum Sanctorum in preparation for the release of Dormammu. Wong and Mordo stop the creatures but continue to lose sorcerers' lives each time. Ancient One becomes angered by Mordo's brashness while Mordo resents Strange being the new favorite. When Strange's training is complete, the sorcerers go back to New York where he is introduced to the captured Dormammu. He realizes that there is a connection between Dormammu and the children's comas.

As Strange rescues the children, Mordo makes a deal with Dormammu to betray his fellow sorcerers. Mordo then kills Ancient One causing the still-captured children to release Dormammu. Accepting the role as Sorcerer Supreme, the most powerful sorcerer in the world, Strange defeats Mordo then absorbs all the energy of Dormammu. With evil defeated, Strange makes up with his surgical college, forgives himself for his sister's death, and takes on a young woman named Clea as his student.

Critical reaction to the film has been mixed but is generally favorable. Some enjoy the changes to the character's backstory while most feel that fans will be disappointed. The visuals and audio quality are commonly praised. Though some note some problems with the second act and the lack of development in Dormammu. Many critics feel that the movie is true in spirit to the comics.
