Doctor Strange is a PG-13 action-fantasy with strong violence including intense fight scenes and magical attacks that may frighten younger children. The plot involves adult themes like addiction and ego, and the visually complex magical sequences could be disorienting. Best suited for children 13 and up who enjoy superhero films.
