Whenever I see a Marvel film I am never disappointed. I recently went to the cinema to see the new 'Doctor Strange' film and it was amazing. (There are two post-credit scenes so don't miss these!)
*Spoilers*
The story behind Doctor Stephen Strange himself caught my attention straight away. Played by Benedict Cumberbatch, Strange is a renowned neurosurgeon. He is brilliant at his job and he knows it, he gives off cocky vibes and an arrogant attitude. However, this is ultimately his downfall. After racing around dangerous roads in severe weather conditions, Strange flies off a cliff, lands in a lake of some sort - his hands are crushed during the process. Now, obviously, every neurosurgeon needs steady hands in order to do their job and unfortunately, due to his obnoxious attitude Strange loses this ability.
After receiving physiotherapy and losing faith his physiotherapist tells Strange of a man he once treated - a man that should not have been able to walk again, but low and behold, he did. Strange seeks out the patient who then tells him about a place he went to - Kathmandu, Nepal, where he sought out The Ancient One. Strange follows in his footsteps and meets The Ancient One.
Without writing the whole plot to this film, Strange reads that Earth is protected from other dimensions - especially the Dark Dimension. The Ancient one and her followers are the protectors of Earth in three sanctums - New York, London and Hong Kong. The Evil sorcerer, Kaecilius tries to invoke the dark dimension and Strange posses the power to stop him (long story short).
There was a great quote from Wong (the librarian): "While heroes like the Avengers protect the world from physical dangers. We sorcerers safeguard it against more mystical threats."
Overall, phenomenal acting, absolutely brilliant story-line and a definite must-see for any Marvel fan (or not).
