doctor strange (2016). directed by scott derrickson.


let's start with what i like about doctor strange. i like the visuals, taking the concept further from inception (2010). good performance from supporting cast - tilda swinton and chiwetel ejiofor, though rachel mcadams was severely underused. now to what i don't like about doctor strange - it's like watching an episode of sherlock in which he can fly. benedict cunberbatch is very adept at playing brainy annoying characters, like robert downey jr. is excellant at playing arrogant millionaires who can save the world. i won't fault cumberbatch for his style of acting - most people have one style and they stick with it throughout their careers. perhaps what is really wrong with doctor strange is that the story is thin - if not for these good actors the story wouldn't be half as interesting.
