Jack's Movie Picks

Just finished watching the next soon to be release Marvel animation movie Dr. Strange. Doctor Strange is another legendary hero from Marvel comics who willing be making his way onto the big screen in live action soon. But too bad it’s first time out is only an animated STV movie , with almost no info about it over the Internet. The fantasy flick will be officially released August 14, 2007.The Animation movie is an origin story, it start off as Dr. Stephen Strange was one of the most gifted surgeons in medicine before his hands were left shattered and useless as a result of a car crash. Spending his fortune in pursuit of a way to fix his fractured body, the dejected doctor believed all was lost until the Ancient One offered him hope and healing in Tibet. Training mind, body and soul with the Ancient One and his pupils, Doctor Strange’s scope, power and compassion grows as he steps closer to his mystical fate. But to fully embrace his destiny and protect the worlds of magic and reality, Strange must face betrayal, death and the emergence of Dormammu the evil one in order to save the world as the Sorcerer Supreme. I liked the movie, it was ok but the problem with most origin stories is that most of the action is toward the end of the chapter and if the story can’t keep your interest you end up just fading out. Because I myself already new the background story I found it to be a bit slow, but for a new comer to the mythos of Dr. Strange I would say that you would very much enjoy it. I find marvel is and always do a great job in most of it’s comics movie making and if they stick to the basics of there original characters in the story telling they can never go wrong. I look forward to all the coming ups of the characters etc… I recommend and give this one a 3 out of 5 so please go out add this one to your collection.
