Formulaic with special guest star Casper

Rating: 6/10 (6 November 2016)

Love Mads Mikkelson and Benedict Cumberbatch. Benedict makes a great Dr Strange. The interaction of these two characters and Dr Strange's good sense of humour is what scored most of the points.
Unfortunately the movie and story itself were lackluster. The visuals were Inception copies. But the manipulation of buildings and roads is only magical when used sparingly and in the right setting. In this case the Inception-like visuals were relied on too much and the action and story were secondary.
At one stage I thought they have remade Casper. I was a bit put off by this to be honest.
The Marvel movies follow a formulaic approach to story writing that is cumbersome unless you're a 10-year old. It is a pity that there isn't more meat on the bone for the mature audience that loves a good fantasy or sci-fi flick.
