I don’t know how Marvel manages to outdo themselves continually. But they do. And this time around with Doctor Strange, well, let’s just say, mind blown.
The Doctor Strange comics go back to the 60’s. A time that acid trips were weaving into the pop culture of comic books. Steve Ditko created Strange to bring a different kind of character and themes of mysticism to Marvel Comics.
From Marvel Studios comes “Doctor Strange,” the story of world-famous neurosurgeon Dr. Stephen Strange whose life changes forever after a horrific car accident robs him of the use of his hands. When traditional medicine fails him, he is forced to look for healing, and hope, in an unlikely place—a 10-11-16 mysterious enclave known as Kamar-Taj. He quickly learns that this is not just a center for healing but also the front line of a battle against unseen dark forces bent on destroying our reality. Before long Strange—armed with newly acquired magical powers—is forced to choose whether to return to his life of fortune and status or leave it all behind to defend the world as the most powerful sorcerer in existence
If there ever was a time to bring Strange to the cinematic Marvel Universe it is now. Technology is ready. SO ready.
Doctor Strange Review
The best way for me to describe the film is that this isn’t like going to a movie, it’s truly an experience. One that, and I never say this, but you NEED to see it in IMAX/3D. The effects are those that don’t make you sick but envelop you into the movie. You may feel like you’ve had your own acid trip at times because the effects are that fantastic.
The cast is led by Benedict Cumberbatch, who plays Doctor Stephen Strange. Strange was once a celebrated but arrogant surgeon, until a tragic accident cost him his medical skills and career. Searching for a way to restore his talents, he traveled the world until he finally encountered The Ancient One, the enigmatic teacher who offered to teach him the ways of the Mystic Arts.
Rachel McAdams takes on the role of Dr. Christine Palmer. Dr. Palmer is a highly skilled trauma surgeon who is not only Dr. Strange’s colleague but a friend as well. When the devastating accident that crippled Strange’s hands takes a toll on their relationship, Dr. Palmer comes to realize that Strange needs to rediscover his worth on his own.
Academy Award® winner Tilda Swinton signed on to play The Ancient One, a wise and centuries-old figure who has safeguarded the secrets of the mystic arts for a very long time.
Mads Mikkelsen plays the villain Kaecilius. Like many students at Kamar-Taj, Kaecilius arrived at the mystical compound seeking the secrets of The Multiverse, but he turned his back on The Ancient One and her teachings when he believed certain knowledge was being kept from him.
Benedict Wong plays Wong, the keeper of Kamar-Taj’s vast library of mystical tomes.
If you are a real comic book Marvel fan or only a Marvel movie fan, you will not be disappointed because this film is pure entertainment. Funny, exciting, and visually like no other movie you’ve seen.
