Tag: Doctor Strange

In what you will probably consider the darkest Marvel film, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness showcases Marvel magic meets ‘The Walking Dead’ with a taste of wizardry.

Now just so you know, if you haven’t caught up on all the Marvel films and Disney+ shows, especially Wandavision the don’t bother watching this film because you will be completely lost.

With the film being directed by Sam Raimi, you’re definitely getting bizarre weirdness and major drama. That’s just what you get with Benedict Cumberbatch and especially Elizabeth Olsen. Now their acting chops are on point, no way you can take that away from them. But at some point it did seem like there was entirely too much going on in the film, perhaps this story could have been told in a series as opposed to a film. There was a lot more backstory going on and then cameos form different characters being made, that you had to stop and think to connect the dots. I feel like those circumstances might deter people away from the film and perhaps even the Marvel franchise. When it gets too confusing and too complicated for the general public to comprehend, the just lose interest.

Now me personally being a Marvel fan and following all the stories and back stories, I didn’t have a problem with the film because obviously I understand it and everyone’s purpose. The visual effects are out of this world and are exactly what I’d expect for a multiverse of madness setup… it was all MADNESS!

It’s quite fitting that this is probably the strangest Marvel movie in the entire franchise, because right off the bat the film begins with Doctor Strange running from a fire demon in a CG-psychedelic cosmic realm, then moving on to various universes in an adventure that includes mystical mountain fortresses, evil versions of your favorite characters, a even magical musical duel. Don’t forget, I mentioned ‘The Walking Dead’ in the beginning because yes… you will see zombies.

Don’t worry it’s not all horror and zombies because there is an emotional side mixed in to the film that many will relate to, making all the characters seem human. They want what we all desire in life… love and companionship despite saving the world.

Remember the last time we saw Doctor Strange was in Spider-Man: No Way Home, where he was trying to help Peter live the simpler life where no one knew who he was outside of his circle. We all know how that one ended. We’ve waiting long enough to see the story continue for Wanda after she lost the love of her life Vision and then everything that happened in Wandavision, fans will be pleased with the outcome of this film and for what’s to come. Make sure you stay for the two end credit scenes! So many surprises!!!
