Marvel's Beijing Fold?

" Doctor Strange"

overall score : 3.5
points works. In particular, it can be said that visual effects have been brought to a new level. The constantly flipped and folded city and the magic interspersed in it form a very strong sense of collision, a collision of hard science fiction and magic, which is refreshing. But the story has always been Marvel's weakness, and this film is no exception. Fundamentally, the younger age of Marvel's stories is actually caused by the flattening of characters. All characters are very single, and they are all developing towards the screenwriter's hope. For example, Dormammu just wanted to Destroy the Earth, Casillas is just obsessed with following Dormammu, Doctor Strange is just obsessed with saving the planet, etc. In addition, Cunfu's thought change is also a big logical loophole. He is not really keen on saving lives. This has been explained at the beginning of the film. He just wants to show his medical skills. He is reluctant to pay attention to patients he thinks cannot be cured, but surprisingly, when he sees Casillas killing the garrison in London, he is out of anger and set out on the road to save the earth. This is completely Unconvincing. So fundamentally this movie still can't get rid of the shadow of popcorn. In addition, throughout the whole film, Cuan Fu's acting skills are still worthy of recognition, but it is more staged. For example, the scene where he maliciously slandered Kristin in his own home because of hopeless healing, the scene where he was in agony at the door after being kicked out of the sanctuary, and the scene where he was in a fixed time and space with the evil god. It shows his stage skills well, but it is still somewhat different from the general acting skills. So in general, although there are still many deficiencies, Marvel still draws a very different Marvel universe for the audience through the splicing of a large number of elements (such as the concept of time and space, such as cosmic space, such as out of body, etc.).

    The story is very old-fashioned, and the role modeling is also lacking (fortunately, there are drama bones such as Volume Fu and Swindon as the protagonist), but the special effects (oh no, the world view) settings and effects are really dazzling and amazing! Today, when the commercial action blockbuster is full of metallic texture and violent combat, the gorgeous and mysterious aesthetics of this film is indeed refreshing. The film involves structures and symbols such as "The Gate of All Wonders", fractals, etc. It is not simply that the action scenes are good-looking.

    Three and a half. The visual part is very prominent, such as setting back time, mirrored world, distorted space, etc., are all very enjoyable, it is the visual imagination, and it constitutes the most dazzling part of the film. Then, there is no more.
