    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.

    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.

    Entertaining to watch and great special effects, but thats about it

    Maybe this was hyped up to much but the story made little to no sense and didnt have a lot of depth, which is a shame since it easily could have had more depth concidering its the multiverse we're talking about with limitless pottensial. The villain in this story also makes illogical choices only driven by emotions which also kinda ruins the movie in a whole.

    Not enough multiverse and maybe too much madness

    Sam Raimi definitely put a splash of horror in this action film. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is darker & more violent than any previous MCU movie, which could be considered a strength. However, I felt like there was not enough multiverse and maybe too much madness. Despite the entertaining visuals, the plot is fairly chaotic, and the acting & dialogue are inconsistent. This movie is an entertaining ride, but it's a little too messy to stand on its own.

    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.

    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.
