Weird and Wonderfall

Rating: 10/10 (21 November 2016)

I have watched over 1200 movies in my lifetime and this is a movie that has compelled to make my first review. As an avid comic book reader of golden and silver age books and a connoisseur of what I would like to think are fine cinematic pieces, I would highly recommend this movie. Benedict Cumberbatch as always deliverers an exceptional performance. I couldn't conjure a better actor for the part of Dr. Stephen Strange. He not only naturally projects the image of intellect but also innate good. The only comparison to Tilda Swifton's performance is that to her remarkable performance in Constantine, in which I was truly investor in her character. Like in this movie she projects a strong presence. Chiwetel Ejiofor whom is magnificent in 12 years a Slave, American Gangster, Children of Men and the Martian, of which I wouldn't put a comparison to his persona in this movie. I would more liken his character to that of which he played in Serenity, which to me encompassed him as an actor for more than the latter. In short, a great movie for both the Marvel comic book fan and Marvel movie fan alike.
