Doctor Strange: 10 Best Moments

1. Strange Traps Dormammu In A Time Loop

After realising that he cannot defeat Kaecillius in any conventional way, Strange flies to the Dark Dimension where he confronts Dormammu, who basically resembles a giant floating head with an imposing, booming voice.

Strange uses the Eye of Agamotto to imprison himself and Dormammu inside a time loop where Strange is repeatedly killed by Dormammu (being stabbed and generally crushed to death in various hilarious scenarios).

Strange then uses this power to make a deal with the big guy, to release him from the loop if he recalls Kaecillius and the other zealots from Earth. Dormammu complies, causing Kaecillius and co. to fly away from Earth and mutate into grotesque creatures in mid-air, while Dormammu takes leave of Earth and Strange returns there.

It's such an imaginative final boss fight, a million miles away from yet another giant beam shooting up into the sky, but also a great deal more consequential than, say, the anti-climactic dance-off from Guardians of the Galaxy.
