Doctor Strange a hit or a miss
Notable personalities have thrown their weights in praising the enjoyable marvelous creation. Filmcast Jeff Cannata says Doctor Strange is a dazzling entertainment all through its running time claiming an action sequence 4 to 5 times than in The Matrix. It has a chromatic and a perfect hero according to Jack Giroux who is excited by the good laughs and the playful breeze-like set pieces with fun sorcery characters by their few excellent roles.
Despite the general acceptability levels of Doctor Strange that may see the movie scoring high ratings in reviews, there are instances that direction and the graphic work show a better work was possible. Early views put Mordo played by Chiwetel a better placed to have played the leading role, and the Doctor Strange’s Eye of Agamotto used to manipulate time was too fast for viewers to make a grasp of the time passage.
The fact that Doctor Strange is a movie from a too familiar origin betrays the creativity part of the story. There are moments related to films like Batman Begins as Strange, Iron Man, The Matrix and the other movies that portray most potent beings controlling or guarding the universe except with characters playing mind-bending supernatural powers. How Doctor Strange comes back alive after killed by Dormammu in the Dark Dimension is questionable since time does not exist in the Dark Dimension for Strange’s Eye of Agamotto to work. Also, the thin line drawn to understand in brief the villain and the hero of the story is confusing.
The characterization, graphics, costumes and most of the elements in the creation of Doctor Strange are outstanding to outdo the shortcomings which can be understood with a little explanation. Doctor Strange is a big entertainer is sure to never bore you!
