Why cast Tilda Swinton as a bald Tibetan monk?

Rating: 7/10 (27 November 2016)

First, the 7-star rating is based on the entertainment value. The movie moved quickly, and the action and special effects were pretty awesome. This is not to say there were some major issues with the movie.
"Dr. Strange and the very Strange Tibetan Monk" may have been the more a propos title. The entire time I was watching Swinton, a question lingered in the back of my mind. "What, a white middle-aged woman is the spiritual and combat master leading the Tibetan monks?!" This was a bit hard to swallow.
Another issue with the movie is the story flow. It was more like watching action series than a movie. I had to either swallow and/or blink hard time the scene changed. The filming seemed to have wrapped up while the editing was in progress.
Not to discourage you from seeing the movie, it is still fun but don't try to understand the complex and very improbably storyline.
