| User ReviewBrandon Tone of the best films of all time, comical. but terrifying at the same time |
| User ReviewClare MThis is an excellent animated version of the beginnings of the "Sorceror Supreme". It's a amusing that someone has obviously begun putting information for the future Marvel live action film, "Doctor Strange" on this recordâ??although as this is my favourite Marvel "super hero", I'll definitely be seeing that one as well. |
| User ReviewJeff DI love this movie it was my favorite movie from this year if not my favorite movie of all time. I have never seen effects this good from an older film such as this I wish I could have been there for the release of it. |
| User ReviewLetícia "Saoki" LNot bad! Different origin from the comics books. It would have been interresting to see a tv-series and maybe a spin-off with the incredible Hulk tv-series. |
| User ReviewSam LOne of the forgotten comic book movies, but would make a great remake |
| User ReviewRaffe CTV movie from the 70s in which the sorceror supreme learns of his destiny and sets out on the path of magic. The effects are cheesy and dated but there is a sense of fun to the proceedings. |
| User ReviewReggie TMarvel's attempt at superhero animation trumps D/Cs (Green Lantern). Strange is actually quite a compelling character in this iteration and his origin is dragged out through most of the film. The art style fits perfectly with the powers and type of story. Finally, they "get" their audience with the lack of explicit comic violence. Enjoyable to watch. |
| User ReviewFeldon Cpretty boring but still close to the comic.worth watching if your a fan of the comic. |
| User Reviewscott gThis was not a good representation....I hope that they decide to make a new Dr. Strange...with todays computer generated effects, it would be awesome! |
| User ReviewEric HI absolutely adore this made for TV film. Frankly having just re-watched a VHS I have I would so love to have this on DVD. It gets NO AIRINGS on TV to my knowledge. Shame.I loved Peter Hooten and John Mills and Clyde Kusatsu. What a HOME Lindmer had!!! The vivacious Jessica Walter at her absolute sexiest! There is something very special about this film; a compassion, a humanity that can sometimes appear cheesy and forced in the medium however, despite what some may think, there is a genuineness about Hooten and Mills performances that I found so refreshing.Keeping in mind that this is made for TV and with a background that lends itself to formulaic triteness I think the crew did a heck of a job.The set for Lindmer's house is well done for a film with a rock bottom budget.Good versus Evil, as old as man, and this is a special entry in that genre. |
