November is traditionally a big month for new movie releases and the movies coming out this year look to raise the bar once again. Coming to theaters this November are super heroes, wizards, aliens, cute little trolls and so much more. Without further ado, here are previews and synopses for the seven new movies hitting theaters this month that we’re most excited for (in order of release date).
Marvel’s Dr. Strange – November 2nd
Marvel’s “Doctor Strange” follows the story of the talented neurosurgeon Stephen Strange who, after a tragic car accident, must put ego aside and learn the secrets of a hidden world of mysticism and alternate dimensions.

Trolls – November 2nd
From the creators of Shrek comes DreamWorks Animation’s Trolls, a smart, funny and irreverent comedy about the search for happiness, and just how far some will go to get it. This hilarious film transports audiences to a colorful, wondrous world populated by the overly optimistic Trolls, who have a constant dance in their step and a song on their lips, and the comically pessimistic Bergens, who are only happy when they have trolls in their stomachs.
Hacksaw Ridge – November 4th

He believed the war was just, but killing was nevertheless wrong; he was the only American soldier in WWII to fight on the front lines without a weapon. As an army medic, Doss single-handedly evacuated the wounded from behind enemy lines, braved fire while tending to soldiers and was wounded by a grenade and hit by snipers. He was the first conscientious objector to ever earn the Congressional Medal of Honor.
