Movie review of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness - 7.5/10

Benedict Cumberbatch is back as Doctor Strange and this sequel is directed by none other than the legendary Sam Raimi. If you don't know who Sam Raimi is, he's the one who directed the 3 Tobey Maguire's Spiderman movies and of course Evil fucking Dead.

Kevin Feige mentioned that this will be Marvel's first "horror" movie and who none other than Sam Raimi to helm this. Just from his classic, the Evil Dead trilogy is enough for street cred. It took me awhile to recognize the style of Sam Raimi as I haven't seen any of his recent works. In fact, he hasn't done anything in 9 years.

I have to say it's visually beautiful. There are tons of really beautiful shots which you can only appreciate if you watch it in a cinema. You won't have that effect if you watch it on a PC or laptop. That being said, the story and plot is not too bad and it gets a little draggy for a bit. You probably will start to understand better of the story during the halfway mark of the show. Casting is good. Benedict Cumberbatch was good but for me, it was Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda who takes the cake. When she goes apeshit, it is a treat to watch. The new girl, Xochitl Gomez as America Chavez(stupid name) was decent as well. And Wong is being Wong. hahaha.

There's going to be some pretty cool cameos and I don't want to reveal them as not to spoil the movie for you.

I really loved the cinematography and effects done for the movie. If you ever enjoyed watching any of Sam Raimi's early movies, you will definitely enjoy watching this even more cos it has all the little and classic elements of Sam Raimi. Just the movement of the camera and zoom ins are enough to make me smile with delight.

My only problem with the multiverse of madness was the length. Perhaps a little trimming down would have been good. 

All in all, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is a fun movie to watch and you have to watch it in the cinema for the full experience. There is a mid credit scene and quite possibly the funniest Marvel post credit scene to which everyone was laughing. Worth the wait....trust me.

Thanks to Geek Culture for the tickets.
