Earlier this year, I shared my thoughts on Suicide Squad, so I will now do so for Doctor Strange. Let me just say, I do not like DC's films. I may love heroes like Batman, but their movies are boring, chaotic, and muddled, which makes them awful. They make me ashamed to see characters I love, have their reputations insulted by foolish visionaries, who only care about money. I have no such feelings toward Marvel; In fact, I thank them for reminding me why I fell in love with superheroes in the first place. And Doctor Strange is no exception. Go watch it. I encourage you to experience it for yourself. Doctor Strange is a superhero movie which dares to be more than just that. It tells a meaningful story with so many takeaways. It's superb cast(led by a compelling Benedict Cumberbatch) shines as much as the film's rich spectacle. The action and visual effects are a dream come true. What also plays to it's advantage, is how this origin story isn't afraid to be fresh and even a bit tragic. Stephen Strange, a once glorified neurosurgeon, is a broken man, angry at the world. There are moments where it feels slightly raw, with us being able to see his struggle. To watch a flawed character like him grow enriches his development, and our connection to him, because we learn as he does. It also handles it's conflict and resolution with the threat uniquely. Benedict Wong and Rachel Mcadams stole my heart with their wonderful parts, even if they were minimal. The future itself, was laid out beautifully, as a GREAT plan will take effect soon. I am keeping this ti a minimum because I don't want to spoil something I thought was special. Again, go see it. To summarize, Marvel Studios leaves great hope for their fans as the company reinvents itslef in many ways. In this fan's opinion, it is a great time to be a Marvel fan. Perhaps the best even.
Looks like you weren't the only one to see the movie, because it made an estimated $84 million at the box office. That's over-performing, because they were expecting $60 million or less.
