Doctor Strange

It has been a while since I updated here. I have been busy with university and the heaps of assignments my uni decide to throw at us every single day. Anyway, Doctor Strange just release in my country yesterday and despite having assignments and finals coming up, you know I have to go watch it.

To be honest, I give this movie a solid 4/5. I can't seem to give it more than that.

Story line
As always, the start of the superhero's life is the same as all the other superhero's life. Something tragic happen to them, yadda yadda. They didn't want to be heroes, yadda yadda. They were thrust upon to the life and realise they like helping people and so on. Just a cliche story. This movie was the same. While the elements of the famous Marvel jokes are in the movie to bring something new to the table, I can't help to think about how common the story line is. You can argue that it is different and yes, I will agree. However, the base/foundation of this movie is the same as the rest.

Despite this harsh review, I enjoy it. It was a light watch. I was a bit annoyed on how fast paced the movie was? It is a weird thing to get annoyed over but I thought the story progresses quite fast that it doesn't seem realistic anymore. How can someone who is so stubborn change his mind so fast about something? Doesn't see like a legit timeline here.

Characters
I don't read Doctor Strange. Heck, I don't care about Doctor Strange when I read comics. I know Doctor Strange as someone who is highly admirable by almost everyone in the Marvel Universe and also mustache buddy with Iron Man. That is Doctor Strange to me.

I wanted to watch this movie, firstly because superheroes always interest me either way. Second, one of my favourite actors, Benedict Cumberbatch will be acting as the infamous Stephen Strange. And he did not disappoint.

As expected from a fantastic actor, his acting was on point. I felt the emotions he was trying to convey. The diverse range of cast members also did not hurt the whole getting to know the characters facade. Rachel Mcadams, as always, beautiful and talented. Although her role is small in the movie, she is still an important person to Doctor Strange.

Graphic
I usually don't have a category for this kind of thing. But this year, I have been going through what is my possible career choices and I somehow got hooked on this topic.

Doctor Strange have one of the best CGI I have seen. Not because it is realistic, I am so impressed by it is the sheer fact that the work the artists had to put into the movie is admirable. The details to all the scenes was fantastic and yet didn't lose the quality of this film.

That is the kind of material I aim to create next time. The CGI is gorgeous and so well done. I was in awe when I left the theater due to the sheer details placed into every room and every "universe" (When you watch the movie you will understand)

Conclusion
Doctor Strange was okay. I didn't came out fangirling like I did with Suicide Squad or Civil War, but I enjoyed it needless to say. It was a light watch and really strengthen my resolution to be involve in this kind of industry.

I don't expect the storyline to be special so like I say 4/5. I think it is pretty solid. If you guys have the time, go watch it. You won't regret it because I certainly didn't.
