Different in a good way

Rating: 9/10 (10 November 2016)

As far as it goes for the marvel cinematic universe, I am pretty easily impressed. I have seen all of the movies and have thought that they were all really good (except for Thor: The Dark World, that one was not good at all to me). I walked into the theater for this movie knowing that I would probably be impressed once again, but when I walked out, I was going crazy about how good this really was. I will admit that it does follow the basic formula for the story that was made but it goes beyond that by providing amazing visuals and a really good performances from Benedict Cumberbatch. I knew he was an awesome pick for the part in the first place, but I did not expect him to play a character that could be more arrogant yet funny in the movie. The visuals were also astounding. Whenever there was an action scene in the movie, it was really cool to watch them fight using magic. Overall, while Doctor Strange may follow the basic MCU formula we have come to expect, it goes beyond that by having moments of humor, cool visuals, and good performances from Cumberbatch and the rest of the cast. In the end, it was different, but I mean that in the best of ways.
