He’s another new big-brained genius with superpowers and attitude to add to this sprawling cast of super folks and he should be able to bicker with them satisfyingly once the crossovers kick off. The filmmaker delights in toying with the expectations of superhero spectacle since he can deny them all in this world if he so chooses (and especially has fun with his twisted solution on the usual “evil falling from the skies” MCU climax).Īs usual, performances are also top notch with Benedict Cumberbatch clearly relishing the mixture of sarcastic one-liners and spiritual rebirth that the film provides. The way the spells and rubber reality plays into the action scenes also allows Derrickson to deliver superhero beat ‘em ups the likes of which we haven’t seen on the big screen before.
#PUTLOCKER DOCTOR STRANGE 2016 MOVIE#
Throw in some gentle eastern philosophy to tickle brains and you’ve got a superhero movie that should appeal to a diverse audience looking to have their minds warped. It’s an astounding recreation of the type of psychedelic comic book imagery that Ditko made famous in these books in the 60s, only vividly made real through the kind of digital manipulation that’s only become possible on this scale in the time since the MCU was created. Walls of buildings spiral out into kaleidoscopic eye candy designed to keep viewers off balance. Cityscapes bend and contort to suit the spells. The imagery in the film is absolutely astounding. Strange lets Derrickson cut loose with his wildest obsessions while still staying true to the Marvel formula and it’s pretty magical to behold (pun intended, with apologies). Derrickson is an openly spiritual filmmaker and though he’s primarily focused on horror in the past, he’s always used a sense of the surreal and the uncanny to underline his houses of horror. In Sinister/The Exorcism Of Emily Rose director Scott Derrickson, Feige has found the perfect filmmaker to bring this distinct world to the big screen.


The character is hinged on the spiritual lessons and mind-bending imagery that kept hippies glued to comics as they aged. Strange was rooted in the mysticism and psychedelic drugs of the era. Conceived in the 60s primarily by Marvel artist extraordinaire Steve Ditko, Dr. Strangeland is that this world is far less user friendly than that of most Marvel characters.

One of the reasons it’s taken until now for Kevin Fiege to even dare to step into Dr.
