Dr. Strange: Review

[WillBrink]

Dr. Strange is a visual tour de force. Benedict Cumberbatch does a solid job (per usual) of the lead character, and solid supporting characters all around. The plot is fairly generic:

"After his career is destroyed, a brilliant but arrogant surgeon gets a new lease on life when a sorcerer takes him under his wing and trains him to defend the world against evil."

I doubt it's one of those movies people will be talking about or thinking about a few days after seeing it, but it's a general fun romp through multiple dimensions and concepts of space and time and visually compelling. B-

Meh. At best this is bread and circuses. Seeing as it comes from Hollywood pedos, champagne socialists and saboteurs, it is likely worse than that.

Even just at quick glance, this pushes subjectiveness of reality (and if reality is subjective, so is truth, gender, etc.).
Their primary motivation isn't making $$. It is subverting you.
They could make the same amount of $$, if not more, without the Leftist subversion, but that wouldn't be advancing their primary agenda.

Coincidentally, watching it as I type this. As Marvel escapism goes, it's pretty good.

Yeah. That was a good movie. Very well cast indeed. I give it a sold B (grading on the Marvel curve).

Watched it this afternoon while the kids were having quiet time. It was decent. Not my favorite Marvel movie, but Mr. Cumberbatch did a good job and it was reasonably well-directed. It was a renter, not a buyer. Concur with the B- rating.
