Another Marvel Masterpiece

Rating: Null/10 (27 October 2016)

It's what the MCU has been known for and that's delivering characters we care about. Yes, the powers and action is usually very cool but without texture and depth, would it matter?
Just look at the other big budget films this year. The reason most of them fell flat (BvS, Suicide Squad, ID Resurgence, Star Trek Beyond) is because every one of them delivered shallow lead characters that didn't connect emotionally with the audience. They were all written poorly. It's clear that in each case the action beats were written before the actual story and then pieced in to a sloppy script. With Marvel, it's clear that story and character comes first. Then, they unleash FX teams that are second to none.
The case with Doctor Strange may be an all-time bench mark because while nailing the depth they went above and beyond in terms of visuals. What hits the screen is all-time amazing and will certainly earn many an award. Still, without character depth, it wouldn't mean as much. Kudos to Marvel for delivering another masterpiece.
I can't wait to see it again.
