Dr Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022): Movie Review

           Marvelous, Mystic and Menacingly Horrific                                                                   


              

                                                                        Jim's Review (spoiler review)

 

  Doctor Strange had his first film in 2016 and fast forward to 2022 lots have happened in the MCU universe!

In order for this movie to make sense to you, highly recommend watching Spiderman No Way Home, WandaVision and What if Seasons 1 & 2.

Sam Raimi is back as director of this film and not his first rodeo working with Marvel, He did Spiderman, Spiderman 2 and Spiderman 3. The most import film you should watch is Darkman (1990) it is 30 years ago yet Sam takes everything he did in that film and applies it in this film!

 As you begin the film you thrust into the action as Doctor Strange ( Benedict Cumberbatch) is battling a monster with the help of new character America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez)

Wanda is on mission and she needs America Chavez for her evil plan as Doctor Strange gets involved to save her and things go haywire from this part all the way to the end.

Most of the film you are following Doctor Strange and America Chavez trying to get the book of Vishanti, while Wanda is evolving and soon becomes the dangerous and powerful Scarlett Witch.

There is cool and horrific scene where Mordo introduces Doctor Strange to the Illuminati who tell Doctor Strange wheat he did with Thanos in Avenger Endgame was very bad causing damage to the multiverse or as they call it "inversion" 

Scarlet Witch finds Illuminati as America Chavez is held captive and Christine (Rachel Macdams) is trying to save her.

Then it gets really nasty as Scarlet Witch battles the Illuminati members and ferocity, vigor and lots of anger!

The climatic end will definitely be a battle to save the multiverse yet doing so will ripple effects that will be felt by many for years to come.

There are two post credit scenes worth watching with new star to Marvel and hotdog stand vendor (Bruce Campbell) making a statement.

                                                                                  Rate 7 out of 10 stars

Spiderman No Way home rating 9 out of 10 stars

What if Season 1 and 2 10 out of 10 stars


                                                                         About film

Dr Stephen Strange casts a forbidden spell that opens a portal to the multiverse. However, a threat emerges that may be too big for his team to handle.
