Most people can wait to see this on Disney+, and really only if you're trying to see all of the Marvel films. Don't worry though, there is absolutely ZERO horror in this film, despite everyone calling it "Marvel's first horror" or "creepy". Maybe this would be horror or creepy back in the 50's, but this is nothing, even compared to Raimi's previous works.… Expand

A messy story that seems to forget the whole point of Wandavision and Wanda's growth.

Multiverse of Randomness.

It had some fun moments and interesting things to it, but what they choose for the villain and how boring were main fights - ugh, made the movie not memorable at all except for some Easter eggs bits and such.

Raimi’s direction did feel refreshing as a larger part of the MCU but not enough to override the constant cliches, conveniences, and just plain stupid actions of the characters. A small example of this is a scene I’ll describe in an analogy to keep it spoiler free. There’s a bad guy robbing a store. The clerk behind the counter tells the bad guy the other clerk is armed. The robber proceeds to shoot the other clerk. Why would you ever tell the bad guy who was armed? Stuff like this happens constantly in the film. Other complaints is that the villain was too powerful, America Chavez was heavily underutilized, the CGI seemed off (jarringly so) and unnecessary in places, and so on. C-/D+… Expand

It goes without saying there's plenty of CGI laden effects present and a fair 'dollop' of action and tense moments throughout but I admit I'm no Marvel afficiando and so I didn't really follow the various intricacies where the various characters are concerned. I felt a bit disconnected to this film compared to what I remember of the first one, due to it being so centered away from the 'real world' (in New York or wherever) and more set in the various Marvel universes, as the title alludes to. I did enjoy it for the basic entertainment value but I imagine big fans of the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) would enjoy this more than me. Even so, I reckon this film desveres a 3 star rating at the least. Benedict Cumberbatch gives a pretty decent performance, given the script and everything. It's hardly great but it's certainly ok. If your really into these kinds of films then yes I'd say it's worth seeing, if not then perhaps not, that's about all I can say really.… Expand

This movie is fine. It offers the usual marvel stuff and more multiverse shenanigans. But ultimately doesn't offer anything new or move the story or characters forward in a meaningful manner.

It's fine to skip this one.

Before he was so cold blooded for order that said "I will not hesitate to get you and your kid killed if that is necessary to protect the time stone"...and now:

Wanda: "can I have that girl that you don't even know and can't even relate cause you don't have chidren so I can get the **** away from this universe and I won't be a mass murdering trouble?"

Strange: "ahah no"

Seems logic, ah yeah and there's even that scene of America and Strange like:

America: "I can't control my powers!"
Strange: "no you can"
America: "ah ok"
"proceed to beat Wanda that was invincible for the 99,9% of the movie.

The script feels really underwritten and rushed, and some of the dialogue is pretty terrible. It all concludes with a massive mind-numbing CGI fest trying to throw everything at the wall to see what it sticks, and it just gets boring...less really is more. There's also some pacing issues, my friend fell asleep for 15mins during the 2nd act.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Marvel's attempt to make more mature movie results in a rushed movie with forced darkness which is too dark for the typical marvel audience yet quite not dark enough for the mature audience. I will not deny that the movie has its moments but those are over way before the climax. The use of cameos has been terrible in the movie. The way Illuminati are introduced and killed is just preposterous. Whenever they tried building up an epic scene, they destroyed the intensity with crappy and cheesy jokes every time. Overall an okay film to watch.… Expand

The handover from Iron Man to Doctor Strange is not a simple transit of the trust from technoscience to spirituality: Marvel's spirituality is that of a Potter for the millennials (as well as the recent "The Batman" was a "Twilight" for the 40-year-olds), magic requires formulas, mysticism demands ritualistic arts, spells and sorceries must be carried out with ridiculous maneuvers of arms and hands that have nothing to share with naked and pure magical thinking. In parallel, the phantasmagoric explosion of the Raimi's staging corresponds to a miserable impoverishment of the motivations of the characters reduced to a spit, this time the entire multiverse is at risk because of a woman unable to live with the parental mourning of her two children. And the most terrifying thing about the film is the conclusive judgment expressed: "Sometimes, I do wonder about my other lives. Yet I remain grateful in this one, even with its tribulations." They always believe they are saving the world with their superpowers by renouncing to change it for the better: Disney opposes the Eleventh Thesis on Feuerbach and divulges dystopia.… Expand

And he does not really have an arc that expands on the first movie or from his decision in endgame and infinity war. The movie hints that maybe it was gonna be about questioning doctor strange's morals but it doesn't. The focus is always on whether wanda will realize the end does not justify the means and never explores the kind of man doctor strange is in any way.… Expand

The first half is a generic and dull slog -- barely showcasing the visual flourishes director Sam Raimi is known for. You would be forgiven for questioning why a director of Raimi's caliber was required at all.

However, with the second half, Doctor Strange 2 remembers this is a Sam Raimi film, and the director is allowed to utilize his knack for weird, funny horror in ways that feel right at home for the director of Evil Dead. Still, even at its best, Doctor Strange 2 is a middling effort for Marvel -- coming no where near reaching the heights of Sam Raimi's terrific Spider-Man films.… Expand

There is little to none to enjoy in this movie if you don't like Wanda's character or Rami's directorial style. I was interested in Doctor Strange's character / story / growth and the "madness of the multiverse" - both of which were not present in a movie that should have been about them.
Yes, one could argue, that there was the "he has to be the one in charge" and the lesson was he "needs to let go of the knife" but it fell flat as it was repeated and not really shown how he learned it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, dirigida por Sam Raimi, prometía ser una nueva e intrigante aventura en el Universo Cinematográfico de Marvel. Si bien la película tiene momentos emocionantes y efectos visuales impresionantes, en general, no logra alcanzar las altas expectativas que se habían generado.

Una de las fortalezas de Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness radica en su exploración del multiverso y la magia. La película nos lleva a través de dimensiones alternativas y nos presenta nuevas facetas del poder de Stephen Strange. Estos momentos nos sumergen en un viaje visualmente deslumbrante y nos permiten vislumbrar la vastedad y la complejidad del universo mágico de Marvel.

El elenco, encabezado por Benedict Cumberbatch como Doctor Strange, ofrece actuaciones sólidas y entrega la química esperada entre los personajes. También se introducen nuevos personajes, como Wanda Maximoff (interpretada por Elizabeth Olsen), que aportan un nuevo dinamismo a la historia y despiertan el interés de los espectadores.

Sin embargo, la trama de Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness puede resultar confusa y desordenada en algunos momentos. La película intenta abordar múltiples líneas argumentales y subtramas, lo que puede dificultar el seguimiento y la comprensión de la historia principal. Esto puede llevar a que la narrativa se sienta forzada y desarticulada en ocasiones.

Aunque los efectos visuales son impresionantes, con secuencias de acción imaginativas y repletas de magia, también pueden resultar abrumadores en algunos momentos. La cantidad de efectos especiales en pantalla puede distraer en lugar de sumergirnos en la historia. Además, algunos momentos de acción carecen de la tensión y la emoción que se esperaría de una película de superhéroes.

En cuanto al tono de la película, hay un intento de mezclar elementos de comedia y horror, lo que a veces puede generar una sensación de desconexión. Algunas escenas cómicas no encajan del todo con la atmósfera más oscura y misteriosa que se pretende lograr. Esto puede afectar el ritmo y la cohesión general de la película.

En resumen, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness es un viaje turbulento con destellos de grandeza. Aunque presenta momentos emocionantes y efectos visuales impresionantes, la trama confusa y desordenada puede dificultar la inmersión del espectador. Los intentos de mezclar comedia y horror también pueden generar una sensación de desconexión. A pesar de estas debilidades, la película ofrece destellos de brillantez y sigue siendo una experiencia interesante para los fanáticos de Marvel y los amantes de la magia y el multiverso.… Expand
