Movies DOCTOR STRANGE v.2 (Dragonlord's Review)

Dragonlord's Review of DOCTOR STRANGE (No Spoilers)

Bottom Line: It's Iron Man but with magic, Doctor Strange offers some fun action sequences, impressive visuals and an impressive cast but the run-of-the-mill story and generic villains hobble it a bit.

Remember watching Christopher Nolan's Inception and being blown away by some of the dream-world sequence but was a little disappointed that they didn't go all out. Well, Doctor Strange ran with that concept and amplified it a hundredfold. The result is Marvel Studios' craziest, eye-gasmic, psychedlic feature film yet.

The movie starts off with a small sample of the visual spectacle to come later with an exciting battle between the Ancient One (Tilda Swinton) and Kaecilius (Mads Mikkelsen). After that we're introduced to the brilliant neurosurgeon Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) who loses his way after a misfortune. His quest to restore what he lost leads Stephen to Kathmandu where he is thrust into the world of the mystical realms and the invisible battle that rages in between.

The group of thespians assembled for this film is simply remarkable. You have Cumberbatch, Swinton, Mikkelsen, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Michael Stuhlbarg. This is a cast you’d expect from an Oscar contender drama than a superhero movie.

Aside from possibly portraying Reed Richards, Doctor Strange is the comic book character Cumberbatch was born to play. Everything about him – charm, acting, eloquence, sophistication – makes him the perfect choice for the Master of the Mystic Arts. I predict Strange will be a blast to watch when he finally interacts with the rest of the superhero characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Swinton was fantastic as the Ancient One and there’s also a surprising warmth to her performance. Mikkelsen was just adequate as the main villain and the role could have been spiced up more. Ejiofor as Karl Mordo was solid. Rachel McAdams as the love interest was thankfully not intrusive to the story and sparingly used.

The story is the weakest element of the movie. It’s not terrible but at the same time it doesn’t feel fresh. Doctor Strange’s origin story even evokes a lot of similarities with the first Iron Man movie. To make it a bit fresher, I would have preferred they cut out all of Stephen Strange's scenes prior to the accident and start with him arriving at Kathmandu.

Magic is finally being introduced in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and it looks amazing. The highlight of the movie no doubt is the trippy special effects and out-of-this-world visuals. The action is fun and frenetic with lots of innovative choreography involving the topsy-turvy landscape.

But the disappointing part of their magic usage is there seems to be no long-range energy attacks and their offensive weapons mainly composed of translucent stalactites and mystical whipping towels.

We also get to briefly visit the Dark Dimension which was so trippy and very reminiscent of Steve Ditko’s artwork from the ‘60s and ‘70s. Similar to the sentient magic carpet in Disney’s Aladdin, Strange’s Cloak of Levitation is such a fun character in its own way.

Overall, Doctor Strange is an entertaining mystical adventure filled with an impressive cast, fun action sequences and strikingly impressive visuals but the run-of-the-mill story and generic villains hobble it a bit. The film felt a bit rushed, could have used 10 more minutes showing Strange learning more about the mystic arts. Stick around for two post-credits scenes.

RATING: 7.5/10

Spoiler: spoiler thoughts and musings inside

Seeing Dormammu and how powerful he was being portrayed was pretty cool. I hope that was not his final form though.

The Eye of Agamotto is definitely the Time Stone. Seeing it in action was very cool but it was also an uber Deus Ex Machina device.

For an object that's very dangerous and powerful such as the Eye of Agamotto or any of the books and relics, security at the temple sucks.

The time loop solution was amusing but full of holes. Dormammu could have not killed Strange and just tortured him, taken the Eye from him and any other ways to get out of the time loop predicament.

Stan Lee’s cameo was meh. He is seen reading Aldous Huxley’s The Doors of Perception inside a bus.

Brother Voodoo Rumored to Cameo in DOCTOR STRANGE

Fans only have a few months left to go until Doctor Strange reaches theaters, leaving moviegoers more antsy than ever to see the Sorcerer Supreme hit the big screen. As the film’s release date grows closer, more rumors about the movie continue to be released, and now sources are saying a couple of cameos might be making their way into Doctor Strange.

According to That Hashtag Show, it seems like Tina Minoru and Jericho Drumm (Brother Voodoo) could be appearing alongside Stephen Strange in some way.

Of course, Doctor Strange fans should recognize who Brother Voodoo is. The character is a long-standing Marvel character who uses Haitian voodoo magic and adopts his superhero alter-ego once his brother Daniel dies.

In fact, the character has even taken up the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme in the past in the pages of Marvel Comics when Stephen Strange lost the title. Those fans, then, have been somewhat expecting this announcement. After all, Jericho’s brother was teased earlier this year through DoctorStrange's MCU-canon comic book, Doctor Strange Prelude.

COMMUNITY's Dan Harmon Wrote Additional Scenes for DOCTOR STRANGE

When Marvel Studios needed a writer to whip up some additional last-minute scenes for its latest movie,Doctor Strange, it called on a writer you wouldn't expect: Dan Harmon, co-creator of Community, the beloved but ratings-anemic sitcom about a bunch of community college misfits that was canceled by NBC in 2013 (but came back to life on Yahoo last year).

Harmon, 43, has written for the big screen before (sort of — he did uncredited work on 2008's Kung Fu Panda and has a credit on 2006's Monster House), but as far as THR can tell, the television comedy creator has zero experience writing for superheroes.

The move follows the outside-the-box thinking that Marvel is known for. One of the best example is hiring Anthony and Joe Russo, best known as TV comedy directors for their work on Arrested Development, Happy Endings, and, yes, Community, to make the jump into superheroes. They have now directed two of Marvel's most acclaimed movies, Captain America: The Winter Solider and Captain America: Civil War.

Harmon was brought on board after the movie had wrapped initial production; his pages were “for additional photography,” according to one source.

Harmon joins Sinister co-writers Scott Derrickson (who is directing the $165 million Doctor Strange) and C. Robert Cargill (who has his own unique story: He was formerly a movie reviewer for Ain't It Cool News under the handle "Masswyrm") in this Marvel film's odd writing club. The duo share story-by credit with Jon Spaihts, best known for writing Prometheus and who wrote the upcoming Jennifer Lawrence-Chris Pratt sci-fi movie Passengers.

2nd Trailer for DOCTOR STRANGE Released at Comic-Con

Marvel has released a new trailer for Doctor Strange as part of their show-stopping Comic-Con 2016 panel. This is a much fuller trailer as it focuses on the mentor/mentee relationship between Cumberbatch’s Strange and Tilda Swinton‘s The Ancient One, who teaches him the ways of mysticism that allow him to travel through dimensions and time.

There’s no question that this could be a game-changer for Marvel, both in terms of story possibilities (time-travel is a big box to open in the MCU) and visuals. Scott Derrickson, the filmmaker behind Sinister and The Exorcism of Emily Rose, is behind the camera on this one, and it certainly stands as his biggest film yet. Visually it looks quite stunning.

Derrickson directs from a script by Prometheus scribe Jon Spaihts (which was later touched up by Sinister‘s Robert C. Cargill). Doctor Strange also stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, Benedict Wong, Mads Mikkelsen, Rachael McAdams,Michael Stuhlbarg, Scott Adkins, and Amy Landecker. Doctor Strange opens November 4th.

Benedict Wong's DR. STRANGE Character Won't Be the "Tea-Making Manservant"

Even though Benedict Wong began acting in 1993, he has only started to become familiar to mainstream audiences over the past five years or so, landing roles in high-profile films like Johnny English Reborn, Prometheus, Kick-Ass 2, The Martian, and, most recently, Marvel's Doctor Strange.

For the latter, the 44-year-old actor will play 'Wong,' a character who has served Dr. Stephen Strange as a servant and a teacher in the comics, though we won't see any aspects of the former in the film.

“I’m certainly not going to be the tea-making manservant. We’re heading in a different direction. He’s more of a drill sergeant,” Wong told Den of Geek. “There isn’t any martial arts for Wong in Doctor Strange actually, he’s more of a drill sergeant to Kamar-Taj. He’s one of the masters of sorcery.”

A quick FYI, Kamar-Taj is the mystical place in Tibet where the Ancient One trains the next generation of magical disciples, Strange included.

Mads Mikkelsen's Character in DOCTOR STRANGE Revealed

While Mads Mikkelsen was cast in Doctor Strange months ago, his character has remained under wraps. It seems that’s going to change as merchandise for the film prepares to make its way onto store shelves.

Heroic Hollywood got a sneak peek at one of the toy sets being released alongside the film. The toy’s description reveals that Mikkelsen is playing Kaecilius.

In the Marvel Comics Universe, Kaecilius is an agent of Baron Mordo. The cinematic Baron Mordo isn’t yet an enemy of Strange, at least not overtly, so it’s unclear if there what the connection between the two will be.

The toy description also confirms that Rachel McAdams will be playing Night Nurse, as most fans assumed. Night Nurse is a character who has tended to the wounds of many superheroes in the Marvel Universe and has been a love interest for Doctor Strange.

LOST Composer Michael Giacchino to Score DOCTOR STRANGE Soundtrack

With just under six months until Marvel's second Phase 3 movie, Doctor Strange, hits theaters, the studio has brought in its composer, Oscar winner Michael Giacchino. The movie will mark his first foray into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but he is no stranger to superhero tales, having composed the scores for Pixar's The Incredibles and Disney's Sky High.

Michael Giacchino won his first Oscar for composing the original score for Disney Pixar's Up, and he was nominated two years earlier for his work on another Pixar classic, Ratatouille. His other works include Mission: Impossible III, Speed Racer, Star Trek, Mission: Impossible: Ghost Protocol, John Carter, Star Trek Into Darkness and much more. He also composed the music for hit shows like Alias, Lost and Fringe.

Most recently, Giacchino provided the scores for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Jupiter Ascending, Tomorrowland, Inside Out, Jurassic World and the current box office hit Zootopia. He also returns to the Star Trek franchise by providing the score for Star Trek Beyond. The composer announced his involvement in Doctor Strange on his Twitter page earlier today.

Scribe C. Robert Cargill Clarifies Controversial Remarks About the Ancient One

On Wednesday night, C. Robert Cargill said in an email that his remarks on Double Toasted did not represent Marvel. He wrote:

"I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life, but none that I regret as much as choosing to answer a question to which I had no place in speaking. I tried to make it right by clarifying my position on Twitter Monday but unfortunately — perhaps ironically, given that this story gained so much steam on social media — those comments were not picked up by those reporting on my statements from the original podcast.

Those original statements were my own personal musings about a character, and although I worked on the film script, I came to the project after the first draft and was not part of any casting discussions or decisions so I had no right or knowledge to speak about them as if I was. It was a moronic decision, and worst of all, I embarrassed my friends and colleagues by coming across as if I were speaking for them. I was not."

Here are Twitter posts by Mr. Cargill on Monday, which aimed to clarify his comments about the Ancient One. Cargill wrote:

“CLARIFICATION: that interview answer going around was to a question from a fan specifically about MY JUSTIFICATION, not Marvel's. FOR THE RECORD: no one at Marvel or with the film ever talked to me about China, so contrary to headlines, I didn’t confirm anything. That was just me with my longtime buddies/colleagues chatting on a live stream - hence the strong language. Sorry for any confusion.”

Marvel Denies Whitewashing the Ancient One to Appease China

In the face of stinging criticism that it "whitewashed" the characters in Doctor Strange, Marvel has moved to defend the casting of Tilda Swinton as the Ancient One, a move even the screenwriter of the film hinted was to appease Chinese sensibilities.

The casting of Swinton, a white Scottish woman, as the Ancient One, originally conceived as a Tibetan mystic who mentors Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), has been controversial ever since it was announced. But criticism has ramped up in recent days after one of the film's writers suggested that casting a Tibetan risked alienating Chinese audiences — and, potentially, the Chinese government.

Doctor Strange screenwriter C. Robert Cargill suggested Marvel was bound to upset people whichever way it went, describing the comic book incarnation of the Ancient One as "a racist stereotype who comes from a region of the world that is in [a] very weird political place."

He added: "He originates from Tibet, so if you acknowledge that Tibet is a place and that he’s Tibetan, you risk alienating 1 billion people who think that that’s bullshit and risk the Chinese government going, 'Hey, you know one of the biggest film-watching countries in the world? We’re not going to show your movie because you decided to get political.'"

Marvel defended its casting record in an official statement released to Mashable:

"Marvel has a very strong record of diversity in its casting of films and regularly departs from stereotypes and source material to bring its MCU to life. The Ancient One is a title that is not exclusively held by any one character, but rather a moniker passed down through time, and in this particular film the embodiment is Celtic. We are very proud to have the enormously talented Tilda Swinton portray this unique and complex character alongside our richly diverse cast."

First Teaser Trailer for Marvel's DOCTOR STRANGE Released

The Marvel Cinematic Universe just became a lot more magical. Marvel Studios has released the first teaser trailer for Doctor Strange, bringing Stan Lee and Steve Ditko's self-styled Sorcerer Supreme to the big screen for the first time, with Benedict Cumberbatch in the title role.

The feature brings a new dimension — literally — to Marvel's line-up, breaking from the straight-ahead superheroics of Captain America, Iron Man and The Avengers to offer an existential edge with the story of a surgeon who finds a new purpose in life — and a grander cosmic destiny — following a traumatic accident.

Also starring in the Scott Derrickson-directed feature are Tilda Swinton, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Mads Mikkelsen. The movie will be released Nov. 4.

DOCTOR STRANGE's Powers Explained; Eye of Agamotto Might Be the Time Stone

“He can do a whole host of things, eventually,” explains Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, who is also the producer of Doctor Strange. “He does cast spells, which in the comics have very sort of tongue-twisty fun names. We don’t want to shy away from that, because that’s what makes Doctor Strange Doctor Strange."

"He has a Cloak of Levitation that allows him to fly, but he doesn’t fly like Superman or like Thor. It’s almost got a consciousness of its own, this cloak, which, again, gives us a superhero with a red cape — which we’ve seen a few times — but allows us to do it in a wholly unique and wholly original way."

"He can create these mandalas of light that he can use as shields and he can use as sort of weapons. He can create portalas that will open before your eyes that he can step through and go to other places around the world. And frankly, even in this film, we’ll only touch upon what a lot of his powers are.”

“The Cloak of Levitation [and] the Eye of Agamotto are his two signature pieces,” says Feige. “In this film, the Eye is a very important relic that can be quite dangerous if used in the wrong hands, because it has the ability to do any number of things, the most dangerous of which is, it can sort of manipulate probabilities. Which is also another way of saying, ‘screw around with time’ — which is part of our story.”

C. Robert Cargill Working on the Script for DOCTOR STRANGE

While most of the cast and behind-the-scenes talent has been revealed for Doctor Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme has a few more tricks up his sleeve. Though Jon Spaihts of Prometheus is credited on the film’s screenplay, another name has been added to the writing talent working out the kinks in the story — C. Robert Cargill.

Derrickson wrote the story for his horror film Sinister with Cargill, and the two are now reunited on Doctor Strange. The writer revealed the news on Twitter, writing, “It’s finally out in the wild. I’ve been working on this for the better part of the last year.” In a tweet prior to this, he said, “this is the moment a number of people are discovering that the last year of my Twitter feed was really just one long subtweet.”

Thomas Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer worked on an earlier draft of the Doctor Strange script before Spaihts, and Cargill has a solid working relationship with Derrickson — in addition to Sinister, the two collaborated on a film adaptation of the popular video game Deus Ex and Outer Limits. Doctor Strange opens on November 4, 2016.

It's Official: Benedict Cumberbatch to Play DOCTOR STRANGE

It's Official. Confirmed. Signed, sealed, and delivered. After months of rumors, negotiations, and close calls, Marvel has officially confirmed that Benedict Cumberbatch will indeed be the star of Doctor Strange.

Marvel's Doctor Strange scheduled to hit theaters November 4, 2016. The film, directed by Scott Derrickson (Sinister, The Exorcism of Emily Rose) with Jon Spaihts writing the screenplay, will follow the story of neurosurgeon Doctor Stephen Strange who, after a horrific car accident, discovers the hidden world of magic and alternate dimensions.

"Stephen Strange's story requires an actor capable of great depth and sincerity," said Producer Kevin Feige. "In 2016, Benedict will show audiences what makes Doctor Strange such a unique and compelling character."

Cumberbatch rose to international prominence with his critically acclaimed turn as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's most famous creation in Sherlock, currently preparing its fourth season. Cumberbatch most recently starred in The Imitation Game where his performance has led to Oscar talks. He will soon be seen in The Hobbit: The Army of the Five Armies as Smaug and the Necromancer. He will next be seen in Scott Cooper's film Black Mass, where he stars opposite Johnny Depp and Joel Edgerton.

Comments: This marks the first time one of my fantasy casting becoming a reality. And to my knowledge, this is also the first time in Sherdog somebody's fancast turning out to be true. Last May 2013, I picked Cumberbatch as one my choices for Strange.

Dragonlord's Superhero Fantasy Casting Vol. 5: DOCTOR STRANGE

Last January 2013, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige confirmed that Doctor Strange will be part of Marvel's Phase 3 plans and could be next in line after Joss Whedon's The Avengers 2 and Edgar Wright's Ant-Man in 2015. I'm not that big of a fan of Doctor Strange and magic-based characters in general but I like the idea of having someone in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the go-to guy for anything supernatural. Again, I'd like to point out that not all the characters below will necessarily appear in the first Dr. Strange movie.

LUKE EVANS as DOCTOR STRANGE

To play Doctor Stephen Strange, the actor must have an aura of sophistication, maturity and class (sit down Robert Downey). Luke Evans has all the right combination to portray the Master of the Mystic Arts. Ever since I saw Evans in 2011's Immortals and The Three Musketeers, I was so impressed with the actor that I've been casting him in my other superhero films (1st choice for Adam Warlock, 2nd choice for Reed Richards). Plus he has been in my top 3 choices to play Strange since last year. The 34 year-old Welsh actor can be seen next in Fast & Furious 6 and The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.

Alternate Choice: Benedict Cumberbatch (The only reason why he isn't my first choice is because he is already my No.1 pick as Reed Richards in my Fantastic Four fancast)


JAMES HONG as THE ANCIENT ONE

The Ancient One was the mentor of Doctor Strange and existed as the "Sorcerer Supreme", a title that he won more than 500 years ago. In his prime, the Ancient One was a master of the mystic arts, with a vast knowledge of magical lore. He possessed the ability to manipulate the forces of magic for a vast number of effects and was able to tap into extra-dimensional energy. Who else is better to play the character than the immortal James Hong (Big Trouble in Little China, Kung Fu Panda) himself. The 84 year-old veteran actor has appeared in over 500 television and film roles and can next be seen in R.I.P.D. with Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges.


NATALIE DORMER as CLEA

Clea is the heroic daughter of Umar and the niece of the demonic tyrant Dormammu. She is also Doctor Strange's estranged wife and was the ruler of the Dark Dimension until Dormammu usurped her throne and regained his. [Modified 10/28/14] Evangeline Lilly was my original pick for Clea last May 2013. But seeing as Evangeline is now cast in Marvel's Ant-Man, I substituted her for a much better choice - Natalie Dormer. The versatile actress is best known for her roles in The Tudors, Elementary and Game of Thrones.


DONNIE YEN as WONG

Wong is the trusted faithful servant of Dr. Strange and, at one point in time, was the housekeeper at the Avengers Mansion. He is a master martial artist, having achieved mastery in the martial arts of Kamar-Taj, and is capable at incapacitating all manner of terrestrial foe with speed and efficiency. Moreover, he is well-acquainted with the dark arts as servant to Strange. Donnie Yen (Ip Man, Hero) would be a great fit to play Wong and would give the role an air of prestige. Yen is considered to be Hong Kong's top action star and is a big fan of the UFC. Yen will play the lead role in the sequel, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon II.


RICHARD ARMITAGE as BARON MORDO

Baron Mordo was once the student of The Ancient One but succumbed to the dark side and became one of Dr. Strange's primary antagonists early in his career. Mordo has vast magical abilities derived from his years of studying black magic and the mystic arts. Richard Armitage is best known to the world as the valiant Thorin Oakenshield in Peter Jackson's The Hobbit but I sense a magnificent evil villain underneath. Plus he really looks menacing by default.


CLIVE OWEN as DORMAMMU

Dormammu is featured prominently in the Doctor Strange titles as the recurring nemesis of the mystic hero. Dormammu has been described as "something worse than a demon". Presented as one of the most powerful and ancient known mystical entities within the Marvel Universe, Doctor Strange refers to Dormammu as his "most terrible foe"; a threat to "the life of the universe itself", that "at full power no one could stand against." Seeing as Dormammu's head is constantly on fire and most of his face undetectable, I thought it would be prudent to add a big named actor like Clive Owen (Children of Men, King Arthur) for the role.


EVA GREEN as MORGANA LE FEY

Based on the Morgan Le Fay of Arthurian myth and legend, Marvel's Morgan Le Fay is among the most powerful sorceresses in the history of the Earth. In this version of the character, she is the half-faerie half-sister of the mythic Arthur. Her elven heritage granted her immortality, and she used this time to master the mystic arts. The sultry Eva Green (Kingdom of Heaven, Casino Royale) was born to play the role. Coincidentally the actress also played Morgan Le Fay in Starz's cancelled Camelot series.


ALAN RICKMAN as MEPHISTO

The Lord of Lies, the Devil, Mephistopheles. Mephisto is a huge, evil demon who steals souls and tortures them in his Hell-like dimension. Mephisto is an extremely powerful immortal demonic entity possessing magical powers and abilities gained by manipulation of the forces of magic. Mephisto is capable of using his power for a variety of uses, including shape and size shifting, projecting illusions, manipulating memories, altering time, and is highly resistant to injury. Aside from being an extremely talented actor, it is his voice and line delivery that make Alan Rickman a fantastic fit for Mephisto.

Taylor Kitsch for Dr. Strange and Tim Burton for director

 

[Xion385]

John Krasinski. For some reason, Marvel really likes the guy. He almost played Captain America and his name appeared again for potential actors for Star-Lord in Guardians of the Galaxy. If his name pops one more time, I think he deserves to be in our list.

Let's be honest, the only reason why John Krasinski's name is being thrown around is because they really want him in the universe, they want his wife, Emily Blunt, in the universe. She turned down being Black Widow and Peggy Carter. Now she's rumored to be Ms. Marvel.

 

[heavyarms21]

Damn Phase Three is going to a monster

 

[Sanshou Kid]

While Viggo would be good, I for one would like to see Jimmy Smits as Dr Strange.

 

[CutStryker]

Imo, the studios shouldn't even make an Ant-Man or Dr. Strange. I don't think there is a big market out there for these 2 characters. I'm 35 and still keep it young. I've never followed these characters growing up. What demographic are the studios targeting?!

Black Panther, this character interests me more than the other 2. Who would play BP, Wesley Snipes lol. JK. What Black actors with martial art experience could play the Marvel character?! Michael Jai White???

Talk to me people!
