Sushi Grade Fish Turned into Fried Fish Balls

Rating: 6/10 (11 November 2016)

The film was "OK", we wanted to LOVE IT! - The film was like taking a beautiful, high-grade piece of wild caught tuna . . . Then, shredded it, added cheese, bread crumbs, and double fried it so as to have the most people out there kind of like it. Is it edible? Yes, it's edible, to people who just eat to eat, we actually like to enjoy our food. So Six Stars to a film that had (has) a story to claim Ten.
We had been looking forward to this film for months, it had every single ingredient possible in the story to make it stand-out from the now bland, predictable and no longer amusing Super-Hero movies that abound.
We love Super-Hero movies, I am personally a big fan or MARVEL and when the first Super-Hero movies started coming out they were highly entertaining, exciting, different . . . Now they all taste the same, they have been reduced to a formula that leaves out everything the industry believes will make the viewer be "turned-off" or maybe "think" to much. What do we turn to-super-Heroes for if not to make us think? . . . Make us contemplate? . . . Make us strive to evolve or be better?
This movie could have been equal if not better than The Matrix, and yes, it could have even been that big of a blockbuster - Why? Because it's the questions that drive us . . . What is the Matrix?, What Is Reality?, Are there teachers out there that can show us the way?, What is the way?, What happens when everything you know falls away or "gets taken from you"?, What do you do? . . .
"Marvel, they have their thing and there's a certain formula to it all which seems to still be working, but how many times . . ." -Tim Burton
SPECIAL EFFECTS: Over-Done. STORY: Rushed, they could not wait to throw Dr. Strange in with The Avengers, forget about the story, how soon can we have him share a scene with Thor? CASTING: Almost perfect, Dr. Strange and the Ancient One get an A+ The villain Mads Mikkelsen, makes a great Cannibal in Hannibal, but he could not project any sort of power to his character in here.
Thank you for reading.
