The only player who gets short shrift is Rachel McAdams in the role of Christine Palmer, the latest less-than-Marvelous obligatory love interest in a thankfully short line of under-served cookie cutter companions that also "boasts" Liv Tyler in The Incredible Hulk and Natalie Portman in Thor.
After turning out the dark and stylish but often rote Sinister horror series, Scott Derrickson didn't seem like the obvious choice to take on this long Strange trip, but his direction (under the strict supervision of Marvel Studios and parent company Disney, of course) definitely charts another win for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Appropriate to the genre and audience, the writers keep it breezy and somewhat light while not entirely forsaking some core beliefs. The film also focuses on Eastern mysticism without getting too bogged down too much in the spiritual and philosophical touchstones. Escher sketch realized with 9-figure visual effects. They do so while buildings and city streets fold into each other like an E.M. It's not enough that Strange and Company fight evil. Our hero predictably comes up against a Big Bad in an overblown Third Act set piece but the whole magic show is ultimately a mindbending piece of escapism. Oh, Doctor Strange feels quite polished and manufactured as well, but a great deal more inventiveness is used in its execution. Granted, Ant-Man seemed to be aimed more at a general audience and often skewed more toward comedy than drama but it also felt too polished and manufactured. Granted, Ant-Man already bore the brunt of successfully introducing a second-tier superhero into mainstream blockbusterdom (again, chiefly because the casting works) but Doctor Strange proves a considerable step up in regards to story and spectacle. In putting Benedict Cumberbatch, who has already perfected his tortured genius schtick with The Imitation Game and BBC's Sherlock, into the bulbously flowing red cape of Steve Ditko's hippie dippie funny book cult classic hero, this movie has zeroed in on the perfect Strange bedfellow.
In this PG-13-rated fantasy adventure, a brilliant neurosurgeon (Benedict Cumberbatch) is drawn into the world of the mystic arts while on a journey of physical and spiritual healing. In this case, casting is half the battle. As pointed out by Mads expert he did have a good look in that S&M metal body cage.ĭoctor Strange magically continues Marvel Studios' proven A-Level winning streak in birthing a tortured surgeon-turned-mystic-Demi-God, going all Inception on a Swinging '70s superhero with a predictable but hugely entertaining origin story. Tilda Swinton is always great as the bald headed "master."Īnd then there's Mads Mikkelsen who is so underutilized in his glitter eye-makeup its criminal.

Similar to Guardians of the Galaxy, make the characters and cinematography so captivating you don't need to suspend disbelief as we're just riding along with the eye candy.īenedict Cumberbatch get's to go FULL ASSHOLE as Strange, a guy so narcissistic he gives Donald Trump a run for his money. I actually think that's the formula for the more "out-there" comic adaptions. One of the more fantastical Marvel characters and making his origin story interesting.
Stay with me as I map this out.Īfter Doctor Strange's director Scott Derrickson riffed on Inception with the city scapes folding over each other, I think Nolan decided do him one better after watching the finale and was like "Eureka - backwards time fights! I think I'll call it - Tenet!"Īnyway, Doctor Strange again beats expectations by taking Christopher Nolan wants to make an MCU movie.
