The character of Doctor Strange is arrogant, intelligent and superficial; similar to Sherlock Holmes in terms of these attributes. Benedict have already portrayed Sherlock in the famous British TV Series (3 seasons and one mini series episode is aired, next season is being worked on) successfully. He got so much recognition for it as well. So the role would be comparatively easy to slip in for him. He is a nice actor, so it could not have been a problem for him otherwise also.
The movie is setup in USA, Nepal, Hong Kong, and UK. The movie had a whooping budget of 165 million USD. So there must be some fantastic VFX we are going to see in it.
It seems some changes to some characters and storyline is made, but that usually happens when making a movie.
Let us see what is there in the movie for us. We will share details with you all after watching it.

The movie is a story of four magicians who once together arranges a magic show. And during the magic show they were able open the money vault and shower the bills on paper using magic spells!
Definitely it seems to be a well planned heist right? The authorities also believe the same and the investigation begun. The movie goes ahead with many twists and at the end, well the truth is revealed (or not)!
The movie has interesting star cast and we look forward to see it and share our views for the same with you all.
This American historical thriller movie is based on the book, Alan Turing: The Enigma by Andrew Hodges (Biography of Alan Turing, the inventor of The Enigma, a cryptanalyst from Briton).
His role in World War II was remarkable; as he was the one who were able to decrypt German intelligence code during the period.

The movie was a critical as well as commercial success.
Benedict Cumberbatch have played Alan Turing in the movie. It is worth to note that the movie may not depict all historical facts accurately. There are various inaccuracy claims sought after the release of the movie.
Though based on the report of performances of the principal cast, the movie seems worth going for.
