Good Comic Book Film!

Rating: 7/10 (13 November 2016)

Benedict Cumberbatch, Rachel McAdams, Mads Mikkelson and Tilda Swinton star in this 2016 action film based on the Marvel Comics. Cumberbatch (Black Mass) plays the title role of Dr. Stephen Strange, a New York, neurosurgeon who gets into a car accident causing him nerve damage in both his hands. Soon, he heads to Tibet where he heals and learns from sorceress, The Ancient One (Swinton) about the mystical arts and tries to save the world from evil. McAdams (Wedding Crashers) plays Christine Palmer, Strange's ex-girlfriend/lover who is also a surgeon, Mikkelson (Casino Royale) plays evil sorcerer, Kaecilius and creator, Stan Lee makes a brief and amusing cameo as usual. This is a good comic book film, parts of it remind me of the "Star Wars" films and "Batman Begins," Cumberbatch is great in it, the rest of the cast is good as well and the visual/special effects are amazing. I recommend this.
