Dr. Strange

Benedict Cumberbatch is the perfect person to play Dr. Strange.  Stephen Strange is a gifted and arrogant surgeon whose hands are damaged in a horrible car accident.  When medical science can not help him, he travels East looking for a mystical cure and finds much more.  Through the teachings of Tilda Swinton as The Ancient One, he learns to channel his inner strength to become a powerful sorcerer.  If this doesn’t sound like your average Marvel super hero, you are right,  and that is why I loved this movie!  I watched it in 3D and I recommend that you do the same.  The special effects are incredible.  Let me know what  you think about a surreal scene showing Dr. Strange’s hands turning into something freaky and fascinating.  I have become a little jaded about superhero movies.  They almost seem to have been made on an assembly line and one is as good as another.  At last, a super hero movie that is different, smart, funny and action-packed, all at the same time.  There is one thing this movie has in common with all Marvel super hero  movies; stay until the end of the credits.  Apparently Dr. Strange is going to be paired in a future move with my former favorite Marvel hero (You will see who I mean in the credits).  I can’t wait to see what marvels are in store for Dr. Strange and we movie fans!
