Pure sci-fi fun

Rating: 8/10 (4 March 2017)

Doctor Strange is an excellent film with an interesting script and very good performances.
Benedict Cumberbatch did an excellent job playing Dr. Stephen Strange and I could not imagine anyone else being able to play the role to the level that he did. His personality, wit, stubbornness and ambition were portrayed very well on screen. Rachel McAdams also played her role perfectly and I really hope she gets more screen-time in future movies.
The story is also a little different from what we've seen in previous Marvel movies and some of the visuals reminded of other great sci-fi films, such as Inception and The Matrix, but Doctor Strange sets itself apart with a wonderful introductory story to the character within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The action sequences were pretty cool but I feel they could have been a lot more intense and breathtaking in a world where the perception of reality are limitless. Visually, it was still nice to look at but the potential to be much more thrilling was definitely there after watching the movie.
Overall, this was a fun film to see and I highly recommend it if you've enjoyed Marvel's previous films. I, for one, am excited for more Marvel movies in the future and how they will connect with Doctor Strange.
