Cyan buds of desire catapults into Dr. ‘Strange’ Entitlement




Dr. Strange is the neoteric hot cake to merit the plaudit of Marvel Universe. The Marvel studio has contrived a pretty much threshold of well-turned story. And, indubitably, it has been levitated to serve a plenary visual treat in terms of distinguishable visual FX, cortege of fructuous imagery and Spartan spectacle even consanguineous cast by Marvelous unheralded concoction. This latest picture from the Marvel universe is not the demotic comic-book movie that fully justifies its reliance on CGI effects.




Benedict Cumberbatch as anticipated (being the protagonist) pompously throbs everyone’s heart with his self-conceited élan. I could sense, like a doppelganger, Sherlockian self-condescend attitude with a tersed, witty limn and occasional funny bones. 


Dr Strange after accident in hospital
The movie opens with showcasing Stephen Strange as narcissistic Neurological surgeon who thinks him to be the best. His successful glorious career comes to a sudden stop when a tragic accident takes away the abilities of his hands, thus he could no longer operate. We see him struggling to venture through conventional means of medical help and eventually when he discovers Kamar-Taj as the last possible place for help after hearing about a miraculous medical case and in this mystifying location he meets "The Sorceress Supreme" or "The Ancient One". And this is when the film finally steps into gear. 

Strange gets his own training montage, but instead of Ant Man screaming in a bathtub or Tony Stark stuck in his basement, he gets stranded on Mount Everest.


Kaecilius
But in my opinion the only loophole of the movie is the presence of a lackluster villain in Kaecilius. A complete waste of Mads Mikkelsen, a fantastic and one of my favorite actors who should have got a little more to do than wearing funny makeup, waving his hands about and running a lot. The character of Kaecilius cannot justify his capability the example of which we can see in the TV Series "HANNIBAL"  The movie remained wholly about Strange and none was given the slightest chance to steal the show.



Mind- etched scenes redefine the assurances into occurrence are:

Christine operating Strange to resuscitate his life and he materialized out of the blue in astral form in front of the operating table and start giving instructions how to save him.

Shards of Propaedeutic speeches articulated by Strange & Kaecilius:

Kaecilius: You'll die defending this world, Mister...
Dr. Stephen Strange: Doctor!
Kaecilius: Mister Doctor?
Dr. Stephen Strange: It's Strange!
Kaecilius: Maybe, who am I to judge?


Dr. Strange saying Dormammu, I've come to bargain! (Again and again in the timeless loop).



And who can forget the post credit scene

Thor: So Earth has wizards now?
...
Dr. Stephen Strange: So, I keep a watch list of individuals from other realms who may be a threat to this world. Your adopted brother Loki is one of those beings.

Thor: A worthy inclusion.

Dr. Stephen Strange: Yeah. So... why bring him here to New York?
Thor: It's a bit of a long story. Family drama. That kind of thing. We're looking for my father.

Dr. Stephen Strange: Oh. Okay. So, if you found Odin, you'd all return to Asgard promptly?

Thor: Oh, yes, promptly.

Dr. Stephen Strange: Great. Allow me to help you.

Thus we can all hope to see Dr Strange in Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

As a whole, Doctor Strange may not have been the stereotyped genre based comic book movie spectacle which I was expected more to experience but a delectable concrete enough origin story being depicted here to have worth the bucks of sole admission.

The Dawdling presence

-
In the arms of solitude, keenly sense, A vast absence, a void intense. Every passing moment silently pleads, A sweet presence, my spirit needs.   The gentle wind whispers, softly it sways, Lost in echoes, as time slips away. A longing to grasp lingering still, In every breath, I feel the chill.   Amidst the quiet, I seek your embrace, A desire so deep, it leaves a trace. In the hush of night, in the ray of day, Your absence dawdles, never fades away.
