I hope Irons got paid well for that, because I wouldn't hire him after that performance.

You kidding me? He was the best thing about that turd of a film.
Well, a lot of Doctor Strange dialog is kinda pompous and scene chewy. I mean, how else would you intone, "By the hoary hosts of Hoggoth, and by Ymir's frozen sea, I implore the Flames of Faltine to produce me a cup of tea,"? 'Cause that's what his spellcasting sounds like a lot of the time.
The spellcasting makes sense, but if he goes on a long teary tirade about how he lost the use of his dextery in his figure...
... that would be a writing issue, not a question of the actor chewing the scenery.
The tirade or his lost of dexterity? Cause that is Doctor Strange's origine story.
The tirade. I kind of like his origin story - it isn't the standard physician's, "I got drunk or otherwise screwed up and lost a patient, and now woe is me!!1!".
I'd give that honor to the credits.
