At long last, the wait is over. After a grueling campaign stretching more than a year back, it’s finally time for the most talked-about, hotly anticipated event of 2016.
I’m talking, of course, about the year’s sixth guaranteed smash-hit comic book movie, Doctor Strange.
The film tells the tale of Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), who starts the movie as a top global neurosurgeon. However, while texting and driving on the world’s most dangerous road, Strange careens off the edge of a cliff, shattering his hands and leaving him unable to return to surgery. Strange bankrupts himself trying to cure the nerve damage, and spends his last pennies going to Nepal chasing a miracle that had cured a former patient’s (Benjamin Bratt) severed spinal column. There, he meets the Ancient One (Tilda Swinton), who introduces him to magic.
