Perfect casting

Rating: 6/10 (28 November 2016)

I've never been a massive fan of the Marvel genre, so always walk into the movies with a sense of apprehension. Pleased to report that Doctor Strange turned into an enjoyable couple of hours of escapism.
There is no doubt that Benedict Cumberbatch is extremely well cast in the lead role. Doctor Stephen Strange is a brilliant neurosurgeon who suffers life changing damage that takes away his ability. He is desperate to recover that talent at any cost which forces him to search for alternative therapies.
The movie is certainly quite gripping throughout and the visuals are excellent. I liked the pace of the movie as it explores the character of Strange. The supporting cast is also good, so it is well worth checking out regardless of whether you are a massive Marvel fan or not.
