Doctor Strange (2016).

I really don’t get the appeal of Bennyhill Cumbernauld, he sounds like Hugh Laurie trying to do an American accent (just get an American actor it will sound better).
Tilda is the best thing in the movie but I still think they could have cast her as a face of a shape shifting Ancient One and sidestepped the whole brew haha about whitewashing asian characters and still sold the film in China.
The Inceptionesque effects are a mess. In a world where Inception didn’t happen they might have been a draw but even then they are over used.
The whole thing felt a bit like that Green Lantern movie (2011) that everyone hated but I didn’t mind.
It’s a shame because I’ve loved the comics since I was very small. They are so arch and colourful, something the film gets right, with a little help from Mads Mikkelsen in the kinkiest bondage thing seen in a family movie since Flash Gordon (1980)
In some ways I wish he was introduced in a more low key way.
Maybe guesting with Ghost Rider in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
I do hope they eventually find a way of getting the DC television universe to cross over into the MCU.
It would be up there with Roger Rabbit in WTFness.
Balls Supreme.
