So, I will be honest, this was the movie that turned me off the MCU. Yes, I did watch GotG2 after it, but that movie was the nail in the coffin that this movie built. This movie spent more money and time on stupid jokes and interesting but ultimately pointless visuals. This edit carves that crap out like a masterful surgeon, leaving an honestly amazing film that I am excited to have viewed. Thank you so much for your excellent fanedit. On the technical side, I saw nothing that could have been improved on. To my unskilled eyes, this was flawless.

I love this version of Doctor Strange. Gone is the weird, overly long "humor" scenes that only serve to pull you out of the mystic world of Doctor Strange. The removal of the battle in the opening of the movie serves the narrative well, allowing us to be skeptical and then quickly mystified alongside Stephen. It makes "that" scene where he is first exposed all the more powerful! I did not notice any issues with the video or audio, the editing is clean and the cuts are smartly done so they do not pull you out of the movie. Long story short, this is a great way to experience the world of Strange.

Making a great movie better is no easy feat, but Bobson somehow keeps doing that.
I loved the Theatrical Cut for Doctor Strange, and was quite skeptical when I heard about the purpose of this fanedit. I actually liked those "Marvel-type jokes" and think that they add levity and humor. They definitely did not bother me in the TC, but I have watched enough of Bobson's edits to know that they deliver.
Long story short - wow. Those innocent trims changed the pacing of the film and greatly improved it. Even the removal of the (visually stunning) original opening scene turned out to only improve the narrative. Who would have thunk... :)
Highly recommended.

Dr. Strange has excellent visuals but felt it was bogged down by some of the stale Marvel-type jokes that were forced, and some overlong sequences. Also, the prolouge seemed too much too soon after my first rewatch, and Bobson comes out of the gate by removing that copletely, with barely anythign lost. Now, we learn the mystics arts with Dr. Strange, and are amazed alongside him, giving us a better connection to him.
Gones are also some of the forced jokes, such as the one on Wifi. Bobson replaces that with a scene helping to show that time has gone by during Steven's studying, which before seemed like he learned the magic over a couple days instead of much longer.
Finally, the alternate ending makes the movie self-contained, and makes Mondo's possible turn more subtle.
Overall, I enjoyed this cut of the movie more, with its brighter colors and seamless edits. It makes it ready for a rewatch before the second Dr. Strange (which now has been pushed back to 2022, which means I will for sure come back to this fanedit as my go-to version).

I watched a near-finished preview of this edit just over a month ago, here's my review copy/pasted from the thread:
Watched this morning...
"Crazy how cutting only a few minutes here have completely fixed the tonal and pacing issues of the film. Obviously there's more to it than that - you used some clever editing (both visually and aurally) to change the flow of many moments, and even after scrolling through your cutlist I never once actively thought "oh - that was edited". The colour grade is also amazing - makes the film look good even on my shitty second monitor.
...
I enjoyed this film more than I ever have before - not to mention that new ending! Great work, can't wait to see more from you soon!"

In addition to this review, I also mentioned a couple places with room for improvement, both of which Dugnutt addressed promptly, and excellently. The final version of this edit remains my go-to, and is a must-watch for anyone who is a fan of the original (or, alternatively, who wasn't fond of the original because of the out-of-place humour and other stuff this edit successfully attempted to fix.)
