    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' garners mixed reactions. Visual effects, action scenes, and performances by Benedict Cumberbatch and Elizabeth Olsen are lauded. However, the plot, dialogue, and character arcs are criticized. Some find it overly reliant on fan service and cameos. Pacing and multiverse execution receive negative feedback, though horror elements and Raimi's direction are appreciated.

    Hmmm. Not what I was expecting.

    Great visuals and acting from the cast but can't say I'm not disappointed. They tried bringing in so many characters to make future movies connect but by doing that the whole thing turned messy.

    somewhere in the multiverse, there's a better version of this movie that exists.

    The overall pacing is relentless and the sequel shows its hand a lot earlier than you'd expect. There's been endless speculation from fans about the villain, which i won't spoil here, but it's revealed surprisingly quickly.

    You can't help that feel somewhere in the multiverse, there's a better version of this movie that exists.

    Should we call for #ReleaseTheRaimiCut?

    I don't know, man. The movie felt like a 126 minutes long teaser for... something. They should've let Sam Raimi do his thing and release the actual cut of the film. Raimi himself said his version was around 160 minutes, which is necessary for a movie of this scope.

    This is why I think the MCU should've hit the brakes after Avengers: Endgame. I know it was a bit disappointing, but was an ending nonetheless. Not every single Marvel comic book out there has be filmed.

    Sam Raimi Doing What He Does Best

    While this film has a more grim tone than its predecessors it's still a Marvel film at heart. Of course it would take Sam Raimi to find the perfect blend of comic-book-movie, horror, fantasy and slapstick. He might be working with a massive budget now, but the man stays true to his roots and sticking with what he knows pays off.

    The pacing may seem disjointed or fragmented at times, but I feel that only reflects the complex nature of the multiverse within the film. Maybe it's not like other groundbreaking MCU films, but ultimately this is an entertaining feature.

    Dr strange 2 More like WandaVision 2

    I really miss the old MCU movies where it was making a stand alone super hero movie is simple, But after (End game) thing changed for better or worse.

    -During watching the movie I kept wondering, whose movie is it?

    -Sam Raimi did a great job.i liked the fight scene , the horror elements he adds to the movie it was creative,But it wasn't enough.

    -The writing was bad and very cheesy.

    -Where is (Vision ,loki ,TVA ) ??

    • the anticipated heroes cameo were wasted by the worst possible way and disposed of so quickly.


    -Don't watch it with high exceptions.

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      (at around 52 mins) In the living room of Wanda-838, the TV shows a cartoon featuring Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. Walt Disney invented the character in the 1920s, but when Universal Pictures took the rights to Oswald away from him, Disney invented Mickey Mouse instead, who soon completely eclipsed Oswald in popularity. In Earth-838 it appears that Mickey Mouse was never invented, and so Oswald remained popular on TV.
    • Goofs
      (at around 41 mins) The pizza ball vendor accuses the main (universe 616) Dr. Strange of stealing universe 838 Strange's cape. Later, in a flashback (at around 1h 9 mins), 838 Strange's cape is blue, and 616 Strange's cape is red. However, Pizza Poppa accuses Strange of stealing the cape from the Strange Museum, which implies that it is from an older costume. Strange-838 may have worn a red cape in the past before switching to a blue cape later.

    • Crazy credits
