A Magnificently Strange Movie

Rating: 7/10 (6 December 2016)

Dr Strange,
Follows a versed but highly arrogant surgeon, Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), who's career takes a turn for the worst after a life-threatening car crash. Stephen now suffers serious injuries with his both hands extremely incapable of performing simple tasks. However, Doctor Strange will not accept this as an outcome and vigorously tries many different methods in hope to speed the healing process. After numerous failed attempts Doctor Strange finds a sorcerer who is wiling to teach him not only how to deal with his injuries but also magic. Stephen is now exposed to a new world where atypical things are constantly presenting it self in many different forms. What Doctor Strange doesn't know, is, the more he learns about this peculiar world the more danger he will find himself in.
To concisely evaluate the film, it was amazing! It encompassed everything I was expecting. From spectacular visual effects to humorous dialogue to stupendous acting were some of the many positive aspects of the film that remained with me.
Doctor Strange is one of my most-liked superhero's and when I heard they were making a movie about him I was overwhelmed with excitement. And now after watching the movie I was definitely not disappointed.
Doctor Strange is a great film to see for anyone who loves superhero's or previous Marvel films. It subsumes the sense of adventure and action we have admired from the previous movies. Make sure to stay during the credits as there are two cliffhangers to leave us with avidity, especially during the Chris Hemsworth (Thor) scene.
If you have not seen the movie yet, I would expect to be pleasantly surprised as the trailers deviated from the true feel of the film.
Some of the negative points of the film would be that there was a conspicuous prominence given to the special effects aspect of the film which sometimes got rather repetitive whereas, personally I was trying to focus more on main character of the film. Another thing that could have been improved in the film would be to accentuate Stephen Strange's transformation more evidently as I was confused to why he suddenly was able to stand a high chance against Mads Mikkelsen during their first battle.
Overall, Doctor Strange was a excellent film and I would certainly recommend it to anyone.
My rating for Doctor Strange is: 7.5
Thanks Josh.
