Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

Director: Sam Raimi
Date Watched: 5-5-2022
Where: Cinemark Stone Hill Plaza, Pflugerville, TX
Rating: 7/10

Sam Raimi knocked it out of the park with this one, at least in that he kept me engrossed by two of my least favorite Marvel characters, Doctor Strange and the Scarlet Witch. That isn’t to say this is a masterpiece, nor is it among the MCU’s best films, but given what he had to work with, he delivered.

This is equal parts superhero and horror film, and like every MCU film, it’s unlike any other MCU film. Has any franchise ever consistently delivered something utterly new over so many films, while still maintaining a tonal consistency?

I was prepared to hate America Chavez, but she was one of the highlights of the film.

If you’re a fan of Sam Raimi, you’ll love this.

And yes, both the 1973 Oldsmobile Delta 88 and Bruce Campbell are in the film. But you already knew that, you Raimi super-fan, you.
