First Reactions To Marvel's DOCTOR STRANGE Heap Praise On The Characters & Psychedelic Visuals
The first reactions from the press screening of Scott Derrickson's Doctor Strange have arrived and it sounds like Marvel may just have another winner on their hands. Come take a look!
Judging by the first batch of instant reactions from the U.S. press screening of Doctor Strange, it sure sounds like Marvel Studios has done it again as the Scott Derrickson-directed film is receiving near universal acclaim from all sides, with the psychedelic visuals receiving special mention from practically every attendee.
As for the cast, Benedict Cumberbatch is getting a lot of love for his portrayal of the Sorcerer Supreme, with some critics even favorably likening his performance as Strange to Robert Downey Jr.'s take on Tony Stark. Tilda Swinton, who plays The Ancient One, also gets a couple shoutouts, and on another note it sounds like Marvel may have finally solved their villain problem, as there don't seem to be any complaints about Mads Mikkelsen's Kaecilius.
The reactions also provide confirmation that there will indeed be two post-credits scenes, which will tease the grand future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Check out the early reactions below:
Marvel’s Doctor Strange follows the story of the talented neurosurgeon Doctor Stephen Strange who, after a tragic car accident, must put ego aside and learn the secrets of a hidden world of mysticism and alternate dimensions. Based in New York City’s Greenwich Village, Doctor Strange must act as an intermediary between the real world and what lies beyond, utilising a vast array of metaphysical abilities and artifacts to protect the Marvel cinematic universe.
