Doctor Strange Review (2016)

Doctor Strange

  Benedict Cumberbatch is the latest A-list actor to delve into the role of superhero, and let me say this was a good one to be in.

  In a time where marvel movies are all starting to feel predictable and familiar, Doctor Strange decides to go bigger and better in ambitious ways that I really appreciate.

 Visually, Doctor Strange is one of the most unique comic book movies I've seen, epic and full of what feels like actual magic. It takes on big storytelling concepts unflinchingly and most of the time it really works! I never thought I would say this, but I really wish I had seen this breathtaking beauty in 3D.

  As far as acting goes, I loved Tilda Swinton and Chiwetel Ejiofor. Cumberbatch's performance is a little vanilla, but I still really liked his character's swagger and his chemistry with Rachel McAdams.

  Overall, Doctor Strange is your traditional popcorn flick. Entertaining, but with an air of surprising originality that really separates it from the rest of the pack. And while it never quite reaches "great" status, it is still pretty darn good.  8 out of 10 Stars (I'd Buy It)
