Doctor Strange

Hello Everyone,

Spoiler Alert!!!!!

     Yeah I know its been a while since my last review, the Christmas season was a killer on me. But now is the perfect time for a new review. And by the title, I am sure none of you are surprised that it is a Marvel movie. What can I say I sure love superhero and comic book films. Plus Benedict Cumberbatch is awesome! Alright time to start the review of Doctor Strange.

     Disney has done a awesome job on the movies since they bought Marvel. The marvel cinematic universe is entertaining and just altogether fun to watch. And Doctor Strange is no different. Once you see the movie you will see the parallels between Doctor Strange and Thor. Not just with the magic aspect but by the way the characters are similar. At the start of the film both are arrogant, selfish, clueless when it comes to their love interest. Both think they know it all and both come to realize that they really don't know anything at all. Both Strange and Thor go through an event that forces them them to go through an transformation. Thor being exiled to Earth and Strange, the ending of his career as a doctor. And both come out of the transformation as a better man. Both Strange and Thor are fun characters and you want them to succeed. There are many more similarities between Strange and Thor from both be charming to both being willing to sacrifice themselves to protect human kind and the universe. And with that we want more of these two fighting side by side than just the one thirty second ending credit scene that we got. 

     In my opinion the most impressive feature of this film is the visual effects. The way they were able to show the characters doing magic and going to opposite ends of the world in 0-2 seconds and them battling on buildings twisting and turning was just impressive. Doctor Strange is by for the movie in the entire MCU (marvel cinematic universe) that has the most special effects. And you think when a movie that has to rely so much on special effects that the story will fall flat. But that is not the case with Doctor Strange, the writing was just as compelling as the effects. And much like Captain America: Civil War both the hero and the villain were both right in their own way and that neither of them were wrong. When a movie can make you see the points of view of both the hero and villain, bow that's good writing. 

     All the actors were fantastic. Benedict Cumberbatch was brilliant as Doctor Strange and I can't wait to see where he goes with the character from here on out. I thought all the other actors were equal to Cumberbatch. The only one I would of like to see more of is Rachael McAdams character. But I like the fact she was able to throw all of Strange's crap back at him. Here's to hoping we get to see more of her in future movies and appearances. One final note just like the Hulk in the Avengers, the caps of levitation was the real hero of the entire film. I loved the cape, it's awesome.
