You can almost see Sam Raimi having fun through the usual MCU tedium in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. kevinfoxjr's review:
Marvel still has a lot to figure out with how it handles its women, but it’s getting the multiverse idea under its feet.starts its fast-paced but forgettable first act with dialogue that could be improved by a middle schooler before giving way to an emotional Elizabeth Olsen performance that holds down some eye-roll-inducing lines about motherhood, ridiculous cameos as plot conduits, and horror cinematography, sound and direction bouncing captivatingly between the grotesque and comical.
It’s weird that so many Sam Raimi fans were hoping for a return to his horror auteur form considering we’ve seen a bunch of skilled indie filmmakers squish their vision into the Marvel frame for a big paycheck and Raimi is known to the wider film-watching public as the guy that made the originaltrilogy. It’s weirder still that the horror fans were kinda right to be hopeful: The second and third acts are full of horror imagery, jump scares and a Bruce Campbell cameo .
is the pre-existing story you’d expect to have the biggest impact on this movie, and it certainly sets up a few components of the story—Wanda’s powerful spellbook and fake children—but considering the film’s nod to the series amounts to her being forgiven without ever taking account of mind-controlling an entire town , you can skip it. Where’s Vision? Who knows.
