Benedict Cumberbatch In Doctor Strange

The performance of Benedict Cumberbatch is not that bad, however, the “Doctor Strange,” character is nothing new. The bendy buildings and invisibility cloaks are a bit of a disappointment in the new film.

This is one of those rare films that is taken from the pages of a Marvel comic book, only to start with a bang and then slowly crash and burn. The film has tons of visual effects, a wealth of decent performances and a storyline that seems to get sillier the longer it plays out. However, this is the result of having an interdimensional demon that goes by the name of Dormammu.

Cumberbatch took on the role of the infamous “neurosurgeon-turned-necromancer” Dr. Stephen Strange. However, the role doesn’t measure up to his other performances in “The Imitation Game” or “Star trek Into Darkness”.

Despite the disorienting American accent, Cumberbatch, is brilliant in the first half-hour of the film. As the film continues we start to notice that many of the scenes and special effects have been seen before.

The masculine name Benedict is taken from the late Latin name Benedictus that means “blessed”. The name became common after an Italian monk, Saint Benedict was given the name and then went on to found the Benedictines during the 6th century. The name became very common among the Christians, being used to name over 17 popes. The name did not become popular in England until the 12th century, after which it became immensely popular.
