Finally got around to watching the Dr. Strange DVD the other day. It was...ok. Better than Ultimate Iron Man, at least. It's the basic Dr. Strange origin story, so it's kind of slow going for a lot of it, and the voice acting isn't great - the guy voicing Dr. Strange seems to have a pretty limited range, and the voice for the sort-of love interest sounds like she's ACTING!
And apparently, Dr. Strange, Sorcerer Supreme, learns Kung Fu. The "sorcery" on display in the movie pretty much looks like the abilities of characters from Dragonball Z or a Steven Chow ("Kung Fu Hustle", "Shaolin Soccer") movie - that's not really a bad thing, and the fight scenes are ok - but imho there weren't enough of them. Moreover, for all the time they spend on Dr. Strange's character arc, his conversion from arrogant surgeon to guardian of the universe seems a little forced and sudden - not nearly as bad as Anakin's, but still kind of odd. It wasn't really clear to me in the movie what it is exactly that grants him enlightenment.
Anyway, probably worth seeing, but I wouldn't recommend buying it like I did.

I bought it too. I'm glad Mordo was voiced by Baldur Gate's Saravok.
But the teenie Avengers preview hurt my soul...
