Impressive cast.
Doctor Stephen Strange (Cumberbatch
speaking AmE) is an extremely skilled neurosurgeon, charming, arrogant, rich
and famous. When his hands are severely damaged in a car crash (cause by his
own arrogance) he refuses to accept that he will never operate again.
Kamar Taj,
Nepal. Multi-universes.
Super magic. Mind over matter.
Loads of special effects (more than
necessary). Stephen is amusing, one of Cumberbatch’s more likeable roles
(unlike the rest of the world, I loathed Sherlock, and he was dreadful as
Richard III). A bit of Harry Potter, a bit of Doctor Who, a bit of Batman, a
bit of Primeval. It’s entertaining but astral fist fights are just as boring as
material ones.
