actor Benedict Cumber-batch (known for his outstanding performances in the Sherlock television series, voicing the role of the ultimate dragon, Smaug the Magnificent and The Necromancer in An Unexpected Journey, the 2012 first installment of The Hobbit films, received an Academy Award nomination for his role in the heartbreaking WWII-based film The Imitation Game, among other much-loved roles) demonstrating an uncanny capacity for filling the shoes of fantastically powerful, ego-driven characters.This time, he is Dr.Strange.A well-timed (pun intended) release, Dr.Strange\u2019s big screen début adds to the collection of Marvel characters brought to life, including The Avengers (Black Widow, Iron Man, Hulk, Hawkeye, Thor and Captain America), Ant Man (surprisingly entertaining, starring Paul Rudd as the teensy Titan), Guardians of the Galaxy (Star Lord, Gamora, Drax the Destroyer, Rocket and Groot - the latter two being, believe it or not, a very angry space pirate racoon his side-kick and fellow pirate, uh.tree, I guess you would call him), and Spiderman, among others.Black Widow is a highly trained weapon herself, Iron Man is a brilliant, wealthy, spoiled brat playboy scientist who has to develop a conscience while he builds incredible things, Hulk is a Gamma-ray influenced beast beyond measure, Thor is the son of Odin, and so on.They are either built to be extraordinarily powerful, born with extraordinary power, build extraordinary power, or are exposed to powerful things that give them extraor- dinary power.So, what's with unexplained the time pun, you ask?When Dr.Stephen Strange experiences severe nerve damage in his hands, he is determined to return to his previous steadiness and ability with precision.When conventional treatments seem technologically and neurologically limited in restoring full function, Dr.Strange follows the trail of legendary healing across the world to a guru rumoured to have restored function in folks who were at the mercy of injuries and conditions no one has been able to correct within even the most unconventional circles of medical innovation.Through guidance, it turns out, Dr.Strange's phenomenal ability for assimilating information results in a rapid intake of otherworldly knowledge involving manipulating space, time and dimensions.Quick learner.In the role of the guru, known as the Ancient One, Tilda Swinton demonstrates her might.With upwards of seventy-something films to her credit, this is not her first inter-dimensional role, as Swinton appeared in Quebecer Robert Lepage's film Possible Worlds (2000) as Joyce, the ever-present and ever-changing love interest of a man living in parallel worlds.Another great timey-wimey (to quote timelord Dr.Who) film to take in.Back to Dr.Strange though.Let's just say, that where Hulk can bend a tank in half, the Ancient One, and eventually Dr.Strange, can, oh, say.bend a decade.or a galaxy.While ego is partly responsible for the tragic situation where he initially finds himself ('where he finds himself, oh, another space/time pun, this is too easy), the series of events results in developing skills he never could have conceived even within the expanse that was his former neurosurgery career.When your experience is a horrific accident that robs you of your life's purpose, in the movies, it appears the silver lining has to be pretty huge.Dr.Strange first came to life in 1963 (issue 110 of Strange Tales) thanks to artist Steve Ditko.Writer Stan Lee was involved in developing the details of his involvement in the Marvel universe.And yes, true to form, Lee has his trademark cameo in the Dr.Strange film, as he does in all other Marvel pictures.The 40-year-old actor, Benedict Cum-berbatch is the son of actors Timothy Carlton and Wanda Ventham, a graduate of the University of Manchester and holds a Master of Arts in Classical Acting from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art.While there is definitely an air of natural acting ability about Cumberbatch, his training is evident.The kid's got poise.Chops.Flair.Honed skills.All on the to-do/must-be list of incarnating the arrogance necessary for Dr.Strange.If you've missed him as the modern-day Sherlock, alongside his Hobbit co-star Martin Freeman, the series is on Netflix, and well worth the watch.You would think that as the Marvel money-maker churned out another screen adaptation of comic works, that things would eventually get a little stale, or as the expression with overdone and tired out ideas go 'jump the shark' (in reference to a Happy Days episode when the Fonz dares to jump over a shark tank on a motorcycle.when folks feel the show began to lose its shine).While there have been a few of the films in this grouping of super troops that were a little lacklustre or perhaps less hooky, Dr.Strange sure isn't one of them.While the film takes its entirety to bring this character's skills to full form, his growth and adaptation doesn't get old.The as-toundingly nifty special effects make this a cool watch in 3D (and with great prices at La Maison du Cinéma even in 3D, the run in theatre 14 in 3D is worth the additional few bucks), and of course, if you aren't aware of this Marvel nugget, stay until the end of the credits, as there is always, without fail, a hidden scene.This one happens to add a very significant fold to the future of the characters involved.The inevitable cross-over of characters that will come in time (and as a result a cinematic onslaught of current popular culture players) has Marvel fans hovering in anticipation, and also completely baffled by the price tag of such a list of high-priced actors in one flick.With the hand-over-fist money collection ensuing from each chapter on the big screen, merchandise sales and beyond, one can only assume that money is less of an object than anyone can imagine, and that these characters aren't the only big egos in the house.Dress up your November with a little big screen time-bending worthy of an M.C.Escher work - and see Dr.Strange at La Maison du Cinéma!
