Review of Doctor Strange (2016) by Gordon H — 03 Jun 2017
Fantastic, Trippy Addition to the MCU!
Originally Written Nov. 4, 2016 --.
After his career is destroyed, a brilliant but arrogant surgeon (Benedict Cumberbatch) gets a new lease on life when a sorcerer (Tilda Swinton) takes him under her wing and trains him to defend the world against evil.
Wow! What an exciting and psychedilic new film! Cumberbatch is magnificent as Doctor Stephen Strange, the newest Marvel comic book character to get his own stand-alone film. As Hollywood.
Reporter's Todd McCarthy said, "this action movie ostensibly rooted in the mind-expanding tenets of Eastern mysticism is different enough to establish a solid niche alongside the [MCU] combine's established money machines." In addition, certain sequences in the film "go far beyond [Inception] in visual spectacle," especially the time manipulation sequences, when viewed in 3D, are what "mind-trip-seeking audiences back in Doctor Strange's origin days would have called 'far-out' but today's fans will simply deem 'amazing'.".
