PRAISE : I have never been happier to have been mislead by a movie trailer !! DSITMOM hits the ground running and only let's up here and there. The story this time around : 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.
High praise to Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Stephen Strange for taking on multiple versions of the Doc,and putting some emotion to his reflective moments in the film that include grief and regret.
Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch nearly steals the movie.She commits to the role even more so in this movie with a performance that is filled with raw emotion that is etched in her face and eyes.
Xochitl Gomez as America Chavez is instantly likeable also providing raw emotion and if they ever have a Young Avengers show or movie she would be a great addition.
Chiwetel Ejiofor, Benedict Wong, and Rachel McAdams also make great contributions to the movie.
Talk about a Directors fingerprints being all over a movie !! WOW
Director Sam Raimi and crew not only provide trippy visuals as the movie goes down the rabbit hole of the Multiverse but he weaves in his sinister brand of horror that is relentless and then some !!
This is definitely the most violent MCU film. It does cutaway from the gore and i wonder how much more would have been shown if this was a direct to streaming service film.
Some very interesting things are said and done with the Multiverse.
There are very good,unique action and fight sequences.Nice humor here and there.
There are several cool surprises.It was great seeing this in a crowded series with Marvel fans.
At times the MCU doesnt make great use of characters and the situations that are presented in their shows and movies but the way these movies are structured now they give the promise that some great things are on the horizon.
PROBLEMS : The movie drifts into a cheesy slasher film territory a couple of times with corny one liners attached.
When it goes into chase mode thats when i really became detached.
The film does a lot in it's 2 hour and 6 minute running time so much so one can get lost in all of it and why i feel at least 20 more minutes was needed.
Scale of 1 to 10 a 7½
