  People will complain about the Marvel template and the predictability of the origin story plot. And they'd be right. It's all there. A fact that obviously isn't that strange as it is both a Marvel film and an origin story.

  We get the hero discovering himself, the love interest and the world threatening villain. It's all there for us to roll our eyes at and have us complain about how Marvel is destroying the cinematic landscape.

  But here's the thing. Doctor Strange is bonkers. It goes to so many weird places it leaves those complaints behind as an afterthought.

  One of Marvel's more bizarre superheroes, Strange is given life to by an outstanding interpretation of Cumberbatch and writer/director Derrickson. The…

  Easily one of my fave Marvels. The Inception/M.C. Escher-esque visuals are pretty rad. Must have looked great on the big screen. Oh... and that shot where Mads get imprisoned by the Saw-like mechanical trap is 🔥.

  I used an emoji in a Letterboxd entry. What's the world coming to?

  Giving a whole new meaning to the idea of Doctors Without Borders, “Doctor Strange” is a superhero movie that often feels as though it’s been shot through a kaleidoscope — it’s hollow, hypnotic, and every twist of the tube reflects a beautiful new dimension of infinite possibilities. Unapologetically folding the likes of “The Matrix” and “Inception” into the fabric of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, “Sinister” director Scott Derrickson reaches into the mirror dimension (whatever the hell that is) and retrieves the year’s most (only?) visually dazzling blockbuster.
