Marvel decides to ape Inception, excising the (attempted) profundity for the studio's customary easy but ultimately witless laughs. Cumberbatch is enjoyable enough as the Hippocratic Tony Stark, whilst Tilda Swinton somewhat steals the show with her warm, child-like, and invariably snarky 'Ancient One'. Rachel McAdams plays the IKEA flatpack for superhero love-interests, and Chiwetel Ejiofor is, once again, playing a character in a perpetual state of moral outrage. All in all, the film can be summarised as 'the latest Marvel superhero movie', although the special effects team deserve adorations from high and low for their art, creativity, and quality on this production. Maybe even an Oscar...
