Doctor Strange

Well worth expanding your mind for

Saw &apos;Doctor Strange&apos; (although fairly late perhaps) because of liking the cast a great deal, who can argue with Benedict Cumberbatch and Tilda Swinton, and having liked a lot of what Marvel has done, something that one doesn&apos;t see people saying a lot here.

&apos;Doctor Strange&apos; is not a perfect film, but to me it was a thoroughly enjoyable one and is one of Marvel&apos;s best. Lets begin with the things that from personal opinion didn&apos;t quite work. Rachel McAdams does do a good job with what she has, but the character was underused and underwritten. Her screen time, while essential, was not large and her development was sketchy at best. Strange mastering magic does happen too fast, didn&apos;t buy how rushed that aspect was, and while there are a lot of fun and witty moments a few jokes felt random and out of place (i.e. Beyoncé).

However, the cast are a major asset. Had reservations about McAdams&apos;s character but not with her performance. Benedict Cumberbatch really makes the interesting title character his own and knocks it out the park. The standout of the rest of the cast is Tilda Swinton, wonderfully mysterious as the film&apos;s most interesting character and played with relish by her.

Chiwetel Ejiofor has a charismatic intensity and Benedict Wong has fun and enjoyed his chemistry with Cumberbatch. Do think that the villain Kaecilius could have been explored in more depth, but Mads Mikkelsen is intriguingly menacing.

The story, making the most of a great innovative concept, is never dull and is told with absorbing atmosphere, exuberance and very rarely sacrifices coherence or credulity. There are some really interesting ideas here, explored with thought-provoking intelligence. The action excites and thrills, as well as being visually stunning, instead of being drawn out even though quite long the climax is great fun to watch (or at least it was to me).

&apos;Doctor Strange&apos;s&apos; script has emotion, wit and tension and although he doesn&apos;t have the character growth one would like Strange is a well realised character and Cumberbatch has a lot to thank for that. The music score has great intensity, rousing excitement and nuance and Scott Derrickson clearly engaged hugely with the material.

Where &apos;Doctor Strange&apos; is particularly good is in the production values. It&apos;s very stylishly shot and edited and handsomely mounted in production design but it&apos;s the incredible special effects (particularly jaw-dropping in the climax) that take centre stage.

Overall, while not quite finding it a masterpiece of film-making and having a few problems with it &apos;Doctor Strange&apos; was a thoroughly enjoyable film and among Marvel&apos;s best. 8/10 Bethany Cox
