Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Movie Review

In Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness there's plenty of CGI-heavy action to love, but the picture doesn't seem essential watching for anyone other than die-hard Marvel fans for a while. Following on from the events of WandaVision and the Disney+ television series What If...?, it's difficult to see why it wasn't also a Disney Plus television series. However, the film gradually becomes stranger, sillier, more emotional, and inventive, with more ludicrous jokes and yet more gruesome shocks. To put it another way, it becomes clear that it is directed by Sam Raimi.

Michael Waldron, the screenplay, deserves credit for weaving together an enormously convoluted yet fairly understandable dimension-jumping plot.He has given McAdams and Wong far more to do in this film than they did in the previous Doctor Strange film, and he has inserted many significant surprises that the studio has managed to keep hidden. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, on the other hand, feels very much like a Raimi effort. It's possible that it's the Raimi project. His passion of Stan Lee and Steve Ditko's superhero comics shined through in his Spider-Man trilogy starring Tobey Maguire, and same nerdy enthusiasm shows brighter than ever here. Of course, he directed The Evil Dead trilogy and Drag Me to Hell, and he's no stranger to cartoonish horror-comedy scares.

The film concludes with a strange journey involving tender-hearted zombies, a green-furred minotaur, a cloak composed of the souls of the damned, and a musical note duel. Raimi hasn't released a new film since 2013's Oz the Great and Powerful, so it's possible he crammed all of his wildest ideas into this one.

Yes, it's still a Marvel blockbuster that meets all of the criteria for a Marvel blockbuster and expects its audience to be familiar with all of the previous Marvel blockbusters.But it's also as gleefully ridiculous as any indie cult film, and Raimi wouldn't have been able to make it without Marvel footing the cash and laying the groundwork. Some may dismiss the movie as foolishness, and they may be correct. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, on the other hand, is a lot of fun.

Besides, it's not entirely dependent on the director's contagious zeal for genre thrills. The prickly Strange and the doleful Wanda can be found beneath the giant walking statues and alien squids, glimpsing different realities where they are happier and wondering if they will ever experience such happiness in their own reality.

Cumberbatch and Olsen's performances in the quieter passages are so moving that you care about the individuals caught in the middle of all those synthetic effects. Raimi and his team have created their own form of wizardry.

Jessica Jones Highlights Sexist Treatment Of Female Marvel Heroes

Image
Jessica Jones, one of Marvel's most powerful female characters, considers how poorly female superheroes are treated in the society she inhabits. Jessica Jones is not typically the first female superhero that comes to mind. She isn't as eye-catching as Captain Marvel or She-Hulk. With the exception of her time as Jewel, Jess prefers a leather jacket and a cup of coffee than the conventional cape and tights. Jessica Jones offers a perceptive commentary on the present condition of vigilantism and what it means to be a woman in that milieu in Marvel's The Variants. Ten years have passed since Jones was under Kilgrave's, a.k.a. the Purple Man, control when The Variants takes place. Jessica is prepared to retire from crimefighting now that she is married to Luke Cage and has a daughter. The first victim of Kilgrave, Maria Snyder, who is accused of killing her family, makes an attempt to deny responsibility in court. Unfortunately, Jessica is the only one who has an understand...

GoT's Lena Headey Sued Over Cut Thor: Love and Thunder Role

Image
Game of Thrones actress Lena Headey is being sued for $1.5 million by her former UK agency, Troika, for a variety of unpaid commission fees. These costs cover Thor: Love and Thunder, a movie in which Headey was cast but whose producers ultimately decided to delete her scenes. According to Troika, now known as YMU, Headey expressly owes them at least $500,000 for the movie Love and Thunder. Variety has revealed that she did indeed play a part in the original script written by director Taika Waititi, despite the fact that her inclusion in the Marvel Studios summer blockbuster was never promoted or formally announced. That position's specifics are still unknown. Numerous A-List actors were eliminated from Thor 4's final edit, including Headey's role. Christian Bale said that Jeff Goldblum from Jurassic World: Dominion and Game of Thrones co-star Peter Dinklage were cut from the fourquel. “I got to work with Peter Dinklage, that’s not in the final film, but I got to work with ...

Marvel Star Will Poulter Says Superhero Body Transformations Are 'Unhealthy' and 'Unrealistic'

Image
Source: Twitter Will Poulter, one of the MCU's newest actors, has stated that getting a superhuman physical change without a studio paying for your meals and training is "unhealthy" and "unrealistic." In a recent interview with The Independent, he said, "It's difficult to talk about it because with Marvel it's all secret squirrel." "However, the most important thing is that your mental and physical wellness come first, with aesthetic aspirations coming second." If you don't have the financial backing of a studio to pay for your meals and training, you'll wind up advocating something unhealthy and unrealistic.In that regard, I'm in a really fortunate position, and I wouldn't advise someone to prepare for that job the way I did." What is this job that Poulter is referring to? His role as Adam Warlock, a genetically engineered superhuman in the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 film, which will be released next year. La...
