Doctor Strange (Cinema Review)

25th October 2016 By George Elcombe Leave a Comment

doctor-strange-review-slide2Starring: Benedict Cumberbatch, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Tilda Swinton
Directed By: Scott Derrickson
Running Time: 115 Minutes
UK Release Date: 25th October 2016
BBFC Certificate: 12A

Our Score

Here we are with the 14th film in the ever expanding and ultra-successful MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe). This entry has been touted to be a turning point in the series, just as Thor (2011) introduced aliens and the nine realms; Doctor Strange introduces the Marvel multiverse – a key narrative trope of the comics which essentially means there are infinite versions of worlds and characters just ripe for the picking.

This long awaited entry tells the story of the brilliant but arrogant Doctor Stephen Strange (a well-cast Benedict Cumberbatch), who after a car accident suffers severe nerve damage in his hands. He goes on a journey to heal himself which leads to a temple in Nepal, where he meets The Ancient One (Tilda Swinton), learns of the mystic arts and sorcery, and is put on a path to save the day from a being that threatens the entire planet.

New Doctor Strange Poster Arrives, Featuring Benedict Cumberbatch

10th September 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

doctor-strange-payoff-posterWe’ve got one more major superhero to wait for this year, with Marvel introducing a new character in Doctor Strange. The Studio has released a new poster, which you can see above, along with the news that its UK release has been moved up a few days to October 25th.

Cumberbatch plays Stephen Vincent Strange, a former neurosurgeon who becomes the next Sorcerer Supreme and primary protector of Earth against magical and mystical threats. Tilda Swinton will play Strange’s mentor, the Ancient One, while Chiwetel Ejiofor will appear as Baron Mordo, who also studies magic under the Ancient One, before becoming Doctor Strange’s nemesis. Mads Mikelsen is also onboard to play one of the main villains, while Rachel McAdams is Christine Palmer.

It’ll be interesting to see whether Marvel continues its incredibly successful run. The trailer certainly suggested it could be an interesting film, with the makers also saying this is one that needs to be seen in 3D.

New Doctor Strange Trailer – Benedict Cumberbatch may have made the weirdest Marvel movie yet

24th July 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

DOCTOR-STRANGE-PAYOFF-POSTER-slideIf this trailer is anything to go by, Marvel is meeting Inception with Doctor Strange, and Benedict Cumberbatch is going to have a slightly odd American accent. It does look pretty cool – if strange – though.

Cumberbatch plays Stephen Vincent Strange, a former neurosurgeon who becomes the next Sorcerer Supreme and primary protector of Earth against magical and mystical threats. Tilda Swinton will play Strange’s mentor, the Ancient One, while Chiwetel Ejiofor will appear as Baron Mordo, who also studies magic under the Ancient One, before becoming Doctor Strange’s nemesis. Mads Mikelsen is also onboard to play one of the main villains, as you will see in the trailer, while Rachel McAdams is Christine Palmer.

Doctor Strange Trailer – Marvel gets a little magic with Benedict Cumberbatch

13th April 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Doctor-Strange-poster1-slideJust yesterday we said that it wouldn’t be long until a trailer for Doctor Strange arrived. Well, we were right as it’s now here and you can take a look at it below. The trailer suggests something a little darker than most Marvel movies, as giving us a taste of the magic it will bring to the universe.

We also get a look at a bald and rather mystical Tilda Swinton.

Benedict Cumberbatch Magics Up A Doctor Strange Poster

12th April 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Doctor-Strange-poster1I wouldn’t be surprised if we get a trailer for Doctor Strange very, very soon (around the time Captain America: Civil War is released makes sense), as a few days after a new picture of Benedict Cumberbatch as the title character debuted, the first official poster has arrived.

Cumberbatch will play Stephen Vincent Strange, a former neurosurgeon who becomes the next Sorcerer Supreme and primary protector of Earth against magical and mystical threats. Marvel Comics artist Steve Ditko created the character in 1963. Tilda Swinton will play Strange’s mentor, the Ancient One, while Chiwetel Ejiofor will appear as Baron Mordo, who also studies magic under the Ancient One in the comic books, before becoming Doctor Strange’s nemesis. Mads Mikelsen is also onboard to play an as yet unnamed villain, who EW says, is ‘a sorcerer who breaks off into his own sect… he believes that the Ancient One is just protecting her own power base and that the world may be better off if we were to allow some of these other things through.’

Scott Derrickson is directing the movie. It’ll be in cinemas November 2016.

Get A Fresh Look At Benedict Cumberbatch As Doctor Strange

6th April 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

doctor-strange-pic2Benedict Cumberbatch could either be brilliant or horribly miscast in Doctor Strange, but he certainly looks the part. Just after Christmas we got our first look at him as the Marvel hero, and now a new image of him in the role has dropped, as you can see above.
