However, this achievement didn't make it exempted from the Screen Junkies team giving them an Honest Trailer which nailed the peculiar things showed on the movie.

First and foremost the trailer claimed that the magical movie has a huge resemblance to the hit sci-fi movie "Ironman". They even claimed that the experience watching the sorcerers is like watching Tony Stark on weeds. They claimed that both Tony Stark and Stephen Strange are both arrogant man but are the best in their field. They are both rich, have iconic goatees and are both in love with a red haired subordinates.

Another thing that is crazy about those two is that both of the actors who portrayed the superheroes both took the role of Sherlock Holmes as reported by Cinema Blend. Screen Junkies also criticized the film for its lame action sequences which only consists of punches considering that the film is a magic oriented. They also cited the lack of presence among the supporting characters where the animated Cloak of Levitation stole the spotlight and compared to Aladdin's magic carpet.

According to Slash Film, the Screen Junkies also mentioned the controversial casting for the Ancient One which was given to Tilda Swinton. The comics version of the character was portrayed as an Asian wizard which the trailers indirectly says the common white washing practice in the Hollywood. Another funny thing that they included in the trailer is the iconic 'Dormamu, I've come to bargain' scene which gained a lot of mixed reactions from fans and critics.

This is not the harshest Honest Trailer in history and so far, the movie proved to be successful amidst the flaws cited by the notorious group. On the other hand, let's just wait for the return of the Sorcerer Supreme in the upcoming "Thor: Ragnarok" movie and the "Avengers: Infinity Wars".
