J-Bang Reviews Present: Doctor Strange

Fun in a whole new Dimension. Yet again, Marvel Studios releases another superhero movie, and yet again, Marvel has made another Home Run. "Doctor Strange" follows renowned surgeon, Dr. Stephen Strange. He is as arrogant as he is witty, but when car accident takes away his ability to use his hands, he is fired from his job and begins a downward spiral into constant failure. That is...until he travels to Nepal and learns a supernatural way of repairing his hands.

First things first, Benedict Cumberbatch is PHENOMENAL as Stephen Strange. He brings a charm that only Cumberbatch could have delivered, and for a British born actor, the American accent he got is SPOT-ON too. Oh, and DEAR LORD, the special effects are INSANE! There is only one way to watch this movie, and the 3 to the F*^king D!!! I haven't seen special effects this good in a movie since Inception. Cities get turned upside down, fiery whips spark all over the place, and colors splash all over the screen from dimension to dimension.

Although a great film, it does have one minor problem: The villain. Since Marvel movies are usually about the hero themselves, I don't expect the villains to be show-stealers, especially in an origin story but Kaecilius wasn't anything special. He was actually quite generic in my opinion. Mads Mikkelsen played the hell of the role, there's no denying that, but the script didn't really give him much to work with, especially since there are multiple villains in the movie. He was really fun to have with action scenes but other than that, he pretty forgettable.

Other than the villain, Marvel Studios yet again delivers another fun action, adventure film with both the Heart and Humor Marvel Studios are known and loved for. In an effort to introduce the world to a new kind of superhero, Marvel Studios simultaneously delivers a film that feels different and less-formulaic from all the other superhero films. "Doctor Strange" gets a J-Bangin score of 4 out of 5!
