A Black Comedy on Superhero films!

Rating: 7/10 (16 February 2017)

Doctor Strange is the same superhero movie that we've seen a thousand times, but different. The sense of humour in it makes it a little bit different and something new.
I have not enjoyed a superhero movie in a long time so much that I didn't liked it, but this one I loved watching it. It was an easy going movie and not tiring at all. Like a 20-minute comedy episode.
I've noticed that Benedict couldn't shake Sherlock off. If it wouldn't have been for the suit, hair and beard and the costume with an American accent, you'd see Sherlock all over it. Which is not necessarily a bad thing cause I enjoyed it, but if I see it in his next movies enough I might stop following his filmography.
The script is the same but is a satirical black comedy making fun of superhero movies and all those great moments that the superhero realizes his power and the music starts, the wind is blowing and his pilgrim is flying.... and then it's ruined (haha). It was a refreshing thing to see the fun side of being a superhero.
But if we take it as a serious one then it has gone in a completely different direction. I would have liked it had the movie been darker, but I don't really know if that could have worked.
Also the romance is out here, only a light touch (not too much), just enough so the audience can see a soft side of the man with the pressure of the world in his arms. Rachel McAdams, no Notebook for you here.
The modern-now-day cultural references to Eminem, Beyonce, Drake and what not show the fun side of the movie and keeping in track with ''present'' time as in other superhero films the character looks like he's not in touch with today and looks like he's a thousand years old. Shows that they're not savages.
Overall it is worth it, if you wanna relax and have a drink, take your mind off a hard day's work ... this is a good recommendation.
7/10.
