Poetic Film Review: Doctor Strange (2016)
In a world where science reigns supreme,
A group of elites held power's extreme,
They locked down billions, a house arrest tight,
And deemed dissenters heretics, without a fight.
Their interpretation of facts, the only truth to tell,
Doubters were silenced, their voices to quell,
In this dystopian landscape, a film did stand,
Doctor Strange, a Marvel tale, with a mystic's hand.
A neurosurgeon's pride, shattered by fate's design,
Dr. Strange sought healing, in alternative lines,
He found the Ancient One, a sorceress of old,
In Nepal's Kamar-Taj, where magic unfold.
With skepticism, he learned to embrace the unknown,
And wielded powers, to save the world from Dormammu's throne,
A deity from darkness, with a portal to claim,
The Earth was in peril, and Strange was the hero to reclaim.
The film's formulaic, with an origin story to tell,
The first half engaging, the second, a predictable spell,
The script was weak, but technical prowess shone bright,
In fight scenes that bent dimensions, and astral projections took flight.
The cast was strong, with Cumberbatch and Swinton at the lead,
Tilda's performance, a masterclass, with controversy to proceed,
Ejiofor and Mikkelsen, added depth to the tale,
While McAdams' character, a cliché, did somewhat fail.
Despite its flaws, Doctor Strange, a worthy escape to take,
A recommendation, to watch, before it's too late to partake,
In a world where science rules, with an iron fist so tight,
This film's mystic themes, a refreshing respite, a beacon in the night.
