Review of Doctor Strange (2016) by Yezo — 08 Nov 2016

I really enjoy the movie.

This movie reminds me of Naruto, Inception, Miss Peregrine's home, but it does not change the fact that I enjoy the movie.

I enjoy the fact that there is a sense of humor in the movie. The fact that superheroes are more human like than god like. The fact that it plays with your mind as what you expect and what you realise. The cast is amazing and brilliant.

For instance, at the beginning, listening Benedict speaking in American accent really raise my attention. The legendary ancient one, not an asian, not a male. But a middle age looking Celtic woman. It differs from your expectation. Tilda did an amazing job to make the character mysterious, elegant, smart, strong but not ignorance.

The part where she worries Strange is strong in power but might go to the dark side which reminds me of master Yoda in Star Wars. (and they call top sorcerer as master) In addition, Strange rejected to see Jonathan in the past, and now he has a taste of his own medicine when rejected by the ancient one. I would have elaborated the acting of Dr Strange on this scene to show the frustration and the lost of hope.

The conflicts between characters also showcase the complexity of belief. From looking at maintain the balance of the earth, to looking for an utopia. From enforcing the rules (laws) to bending them in certain situations, to question whether those rules make any sense.

It is a fun movie to watch. In addition to that, I personally have a lot to think about after the movie.
