Autistic Reviewers Opinion Of This Movie.

Rating: 9/10 (29 October 2016)

Doctor Strange makes his big screen debut in this 2nd MCU film release for this year. Was it worth the wait and hype? I can indeed admit it was as it showcases incredible talent in visual effects, character development and expanding the universe of Mavel that we know from the previous phrases of the MCU.
This origin story of Steven Strange, follows from his career as a successful surgeon to Master Sorcerer is indeed a worthy watch. It has the key elements that made Iron Man, Captain America and Ant Man all worthy origin stories.
What really makes the film an enjoyable viewing is several factors, firstly the visual effects are taken to incredible levels of detail and imagine since CGI has been a heavily used factor in film. With effects consisting of revolving buildings, rotating mechanics, supernatural powers and great dimensions of beyond, this is the best showcase of how CGI can make a film believable Secondly, in terms of casting this was an impressive showcase of actors and actresses that make their roles so great and developed. Benedict Cumberbatch plays the lead hero that suits him perfectly, with touches of Sherlock while maintaining the traits of any Marvel origin hero, he gives a perfectly balanced performance. His character starts off as a bit of a fool who is only concerned for himself and his talent but as his journey progresses he is turned into a character that we can cheer and care for. Tilda Sweaton is a great casting choice too, giving us a character that seems to be a strong minded figure for Strange while we learn of her purpose in the film, setting further development on a secondary character that leads to the possibility of a villain to appear in the sequel.
Mads Mikkelsen is known for his villainous roles in film and here he shines again giving us a villain that definitely fits on the list of best villains in the MCU. Rachel McAdams plays as the love interest to Strange, giving her best as usual and the film doesn't heavily rely on the love sector but it does show a connection and purpose to the leading hero. Chiwetel Ejiofor plays as the aiding ally Modor, who is given a great dose of character establishment and development who helps Strange on his journey and further establish his future in the later sequel to be confirmed.
The script itself was great, with plenty of supernatural themes, character development, exciting set pieces and a pace that is not rushed throughout though it may be slow for some but the CD and unexpected humour may make it redeemable entertainment value. The direction overall is on point, with Scott Dereckson's eye on the supernatural elements, story and character taken to great detail based on the source material it is based upon. Music as well is great, with touches of epic tones, psychedelic 60's vibes and character themes.
Doctor Strange overall is a technically visual accomplishment that will indeed win the fans respect and connection to the source material, with a cast that seem so perfect and set pieces that go beyond our minds, it's worth seeing and will not disappoint Marvel fans.
4.5/5 - Nick
