A super fun LSD trip!!!

Rating: 8/10 (5 November 2016)

I was really looking forward to this movie but I was a bit worried about it. first of all the origin story of Doctor Strange is... strange... not as a whole but at the root of it you have a man of science and logic asked to leave that behind and believe in magic, in whole new world beyond this one.
... and why wouldn't he in a world were gods walk among us with their thunder hammers and a man from the 40's was thawed to fight again? Magic in such a world just seems like a given, why would he be so strongly against it?
The other thing is Cumberbatch, he is such a strong presence on screen that I worried it might not work as a super hero movie, that I would only see him as cumberbatch.
The GOOD =
Well the movie was just the right amount of serious and popcorn fun, it was light hearted enough to give you a little chuckle every now and then but still heavy enough to make you feel like what's happening is important. a good mix and what marvel does best!
The BAD =
There are a few.... lets call them howky choices made, the car accident was over the top and after it I just wondered how he survived with just a hand fracture, by all accounts he should have lost a limb or two at least!!!! I also don't get love of kaleidoscope in the effects, there was something in the movie that made it look like it was made in the late 70's early 80's with the use of those effects but then some AMAZING crazy effect will happen that'll bring you back to the here and now it was an odd mix. The humor here is good, it seems to defuse a serious moment at times which I get but just think some worked to the films credit and others lessened a big moment.
Summery =
A fun movie Amazing performances crazy effects Watch it! 8.5/10
