Another great single character movie from Marvel Comics. Like Ant Man this one has thrills and charms and understands their hero so well that they create....well...magic. As a kid who grew up on comic books I am always amazed to live in a golden age where my heroes can and do come to life in front of me. Perfect casting in this one even by Tilda Swinton as the Ancient One. I hated the idea before the movie. I loved the idea after the movie. What can I tell you? That's the way it was. Cumberbatch was born to play many great roles and characters but THIS ONE is the comic book character he was born to bring to life and he is nothing short of magnificent. If you are a fan you get lots for your time and attention and that is all we can ask as an audience.
The ending is also so elegant and beautiful that only a Sorcerer Supreme could have pulled it off. Fight smarter not harder. I love the way this one wrapped up it's story. I was a trick but it's a good trick. BUT you can only end a movie like this ONCE in the way they did it. ONCE. You will know what I am talking about when you are finished watching the film.
I even appreciate an origin story that doesn't spend the whole movie with just training. He's so proficient right from the beginning because it's his destiny so he's ready to learn his lessons on the job. I like that the creators get that and don't over explain every little thing. If you are too stupid to follow Dr Strange then the school system has failed you and I am sad for you. Sorry, that was a common complaint from those who hated the film. They couldn't figure out what was going on. Don't worry about that. If you can read these words then you will figure it out and love the hell out of it as you do.
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.
