An
acclaimed neurosurgeon, Stephen Strange, loss the use of his hands
in a car accident. He refuses to believe that he can’t use his hands
anymore as a neurosurgeon. He uses all his connections, everything
he could think of to heal his hand. Until one day, he decides to go
to Nepal as advised by his therapist who tells him the story of a
man who’s with problems that can’t be healed but amazingly healed.
So he went to Nepal and in there he met the Ancient One. In there he
is drawn to the world of mystic arts.Scott Derrickson director
who’s famous for directing horror thriller film is chosen to helm
this superhero film. Academy Award nominee Benedict Cumberbatch took
the role as Doctor Strange in this superhero film. Chiwetel Ejiofor
as Karl Mordo, Rachel McAdams starred as Christine Palmer, Benedict
Wong as Wong, Tilda Swinton as the Ancient One.
Benedict Cumberbatch is able to bring the character of Doctor
Strange into a very loveable and handsome character a whole
different person than his role in The Imitation Game. He nailed it!
The character of Doctor Strange quite similar to the charismatic
Iron Man. A successful man who had anything and could say got too
much confident. Tilda Swinton is chosen as the Ancient One by the
studios. At first, this has created a little bit controversy.
Looking at the fact that in the comics the Ancient One is shown as
an elderly Asian Man some says this as “white-washing”. Anyway,
everything’s looks great. Tilda played it well. She is able to bring
the wise aura outta the big screen.
This film has grossed over $656 million, making this film the
tenth highest-grossing film of 2016. This film gives the audience
something so refreshing to watch compared to other superheroes
films. It kinda had the 2010’s inception feeling with the special
effects. You will feel the Harry Potter feeling in this film. From
the ‘magic’ to the cloak he uses. This could be the favorite
superhero for all Harry Potter fans!
Rachel McAdams character brings another color to the film. How
Strange tries to reconnect with the another dimension and the one
that keeping him sane is her. A really well-executed scene when
Strange is sick at the hospital and Christine; Rachel’s character is
trying to help him with the help of Strange spirit. How’s the funny
and scary feeling mixed at the same time is really brilliant. Jump
scares at the hospital are really funny! One word for the studios
Scott is really is the perfect one to direct this superhero film.
At the end of the film, it shows that Doctor Strange got a
meeting with Thor. This has given much speculation about his role in
2017’s Thor: Ragnarok. And looking at the post credit scene where
Chiwetel Ejiofor character is shown changed into a person who
believes the world has too many sorcerers has shown a big
possibility for Doctor Strange to have its sequel! So, far this
Doctor Strange film is the most refreshing superhero movie for the
past years! (Anna Rose)
