It’s getting hard to keep up with
the Marvel universe since so many films have been brought out. I’m also losing
track of what order to watch them in, alongside all the TV spin-offs. But
luckily, Doctor Strange is an origin
story so you don’t have to worry too much about what has happened before. Benedict
Cumberbatch plays one of his typical high-profile selfish characters; and it’s
quite hard to sympathise with him until he starts battling true villains. But
the film is worth seeing in 3D for its special effects; the buildings fold in
on themselves beautifully just like Inception, only with an easier to follow
plot. I did doze off briefly during the
final boss battle; but my main worry is whether Marvel have created a character
that’s just too powerful to encounter. It’s going to be interesting to see how
Thanos will be involved, and we’ll learn this next year with the Thor and Guardians of the Galaxy sequels. It’s also going to make us mortals
just feel more and more worthless as the plots fade away from reality.
