The Birth of a Hero

Rating: 10/10 (4 November 2016)

As a fan of the Sorcerer Supreme Comic Book my expectations were extremely high, the hype was as high as the skies above... they could not have possibly met my very demanding expectations, right?... THEY DID!!!
Benedict Cumberbatch takes the role of New York renowned Neurosurgeon Stephen Strange who gets incapacitated from a a car wreck that destroys the nerves in his hands, and in the quest for a cure he gets more than he ever asked for.
The movie is masterfully directed by Scott Derrickson (Sinister) and it has an amazing supporting cast that includes Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave), Rachel McAdams (Sherlock Holmes), Mads Mikkelsen (Hannibal), and Tilda Swinton (The Chronicles of Narnia). But above all else it has a captivating story line that it's guaranteed to keep you at the edge of your seat the entire movie.
Not only do you see the birth of a hero whose painful transformation from a self absorbed neurosurgeon to something much greater will take him to other realms (literally), but you also get to witness the introduction of MAGIC into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, not science-based magic, but real and ancient magic, that opens the MCU to worlds of infinite possibilities.
This is hands down one of the BEST Marvel movies so far, on par only with the likes of IRON MAN, Marvel's The Avengers & Captain America: Civil War.
I am a devoted fan of Marvel Studios and tonight they have proved why, In Marvel We Trust.
My Score: 10/10.
