hello everyone how's it going it's been a minute since i've done any reviews so please pardon
my rust here as i try to start this whole thing up once again how did this used to go let's see
you want to talk some multiverse of madness then let's get to it!!! Multiverse multiverse of madness
is not so much about a multiverse of madness but a mom that's gone mad using the multiverse
all right
Doctor strange multiverse of madness
Directed by sam raimi the evil dead spider-man og steps up to the plate
and says you want a marvel movie?
oh i'll give you a marvel movie? like you've never seen
that was like him hitting the ball with the bat like hitting a home run or something i don't know
it's just that's me being excited. Shapow!
and this movie literally hits the ground running
packed with magic action horror suspense
and arguably the most violent sequences the mcu has ever dared to give their audience
This story centers around the new character named america chavez
who has the ability to travel to different universes
and who is surprise being hunted by the scarlet witch
some have said this movie should have been rated R and although i don't really agree with that
statement i think it's fair to say that is because this movie pushes the limits at times and takes
some pretty shocking turns that would otherwise really freak out a more timid audience wanda is
vicious and terrifying and doctor strange goes to some very dark places but if you know sam
raimi and you've seen what he can do this movie is really tame as far as Raimi violence goes as for
mcu violence yeah this might scare your precious babies
Not so much at first
i'm sorry what?
as usual after the second viewing i really appreciated the film way more
it's almost like obsessing over every little image in a trailer and deciding what you think a movie
is going to be can have a distracting effect when you're actually watching the movie for the first
time! gotta stop doing that
anyway bottom line i thought the movie was cool
is it a must-watch kind of movie
i hate to say this but after watching everything everywhere all at once right before multiverse of madness
if i had to pick one to recommend all at once wins the must-watch multiverse flick category
i'm sorry it's just really good so i i really recommend that movie
but if all you care about is the mcu then you're going to be totally happy with multiverse of madness
so that's my basic review as nacho libre would say let's get into the nitty gritty
doctor strange is kind of the same as he always is in this movie
i didn't really exactly worry about him at any point but they do bring back his love interest
christine to give him a little more emotion uh that we can talk more about later but i like
doctor strange i really like getting to see the other versions of doctor strange the most
did you like america chavez as someone who doesn't know the first thing about america chavez
uh my first reaction was her uh her name is america that's that's not confusing
to anyone in this universe we're just gonna double up on names okay hello captain america
meet america chavez hello captain america it's good to meet you you too america chavez captain
carter meet captain marvel hello captain marvel it's nice to meet you you as well captain carter
hey my name is miss marvel nice to meet you miss marvel i'm captain marvel this is captain america
and this is america chavez i just know that's gonna be a scene someday and it'll probably be
really funny but for now i was confused because i'm just a dumb casual other than that i thought
america was likable she has some goofy lines here and there but in terms of an introduction to a
new and very likely important future character i thought she was cool so i like america what about
the multiverse the movie leans more on the madness part than exploring the dangers of the multiverse
travel that was one of the things i was expecting more of they have this really elaborate sequence
with america and strange falling through multiple universes and that was really well done i just
couldn't help but think about the spider-verse 2 trailer you know it just felt very similar
and speaking of similar to spider-verse let's talk about wanda where is vision
someone please explain because white vision or any other vision was nowhere to be seen in that movie
i just want to know where's another vision at back to wanda wanda is pretty much right back where
she started at wanda vision except instead of ensnaring a bunch of people in a fake town she's
like roasting apple trees and becoming poisoned by the dark hold which has poisoned her brain
into thinking if i can just take america chavez i can go live with these other boys i'm pretty sure
the dark hold is just a secret code for watching into the spider-verse because her motivation is
very similar to kingpin in that movie it takes a slightly different angle with the idea of
dreamwalking and possessing your other self but ultimately wanda's plan is to open a portal and
get her family back so that's my only gripe about wanda because everything else with her is full on
intimidating she's just this unstoppable force who is getting more and more desperate to have her way
and she is just taking out people left and right and she's busting out of the mirror dimension
which is one of my favorite parts by the way and most memorable taking what out the illuminati
the illuminati felt like a giant fan service attempt without actually having to show the
illuminati ever flexing their full potential the whole thing felt like an extremely secret
film shoot where none of the actors were ever in the same room together and then they were placed
side by side digitally so something felt hollow about it but they made krasinski mr fantastic
and we got yellow chair xavier and not brie larson and british bake off and the tuning fork guy
i know and if that makes you excited i'm all for it dude i was just hoping to see the group hold
their ground a little longer against wanda but she just starts immediately picking them off because
of dumb arrogance so that just made them seem a little weak even though it's meant to show how
dangerous wanda is and how arrogant the illuminati are xavier was the best one in my opinion
poor guy's like okay i guess i'll be the only one to actually try and get this girl out of this
other one's head the wand is just like fripp what about the music battle i really didn't like the
sequence but chris our editor on the other hand he loved it yeah so i think this is one of those
you either love it or hated scenarios to me it was such a large build up to strange standing face to
face with a very dangerous version of himself so i thought oh man now it's gonna get scary
it just kind of turned into more of a it is obvious that this contest cannot be decided
by our knowledge of the force but by our skills with sheet music throwing
i just did not expect that at all what was your favorite wong end of sentence
wong is becoming my favorite character he just makes me happy
he's turning into this solid sorcerer supreme and after they hyped this movie about being
super scary and violent i was nervous the whole time wong was on screen because i was afraid they
were going to kill him off they teased it a lot of times but the man wong survives he's like yes
well was your other favorite zombie strange was my other favorite thing i liked how he had to use
the dark hole to get back just to fight wanda so i thought that was a really clever reversal
that i did not expect but he also just looks so freaky he's like this evil dead sorcerer with
all these sam raimi like ghosts flying around he had this like real snappy body language when he
speaks to america it was just so creepy i thought that was really cool any most favorite favorites
bruce campbell's it's over absolutely killed it at first i was really disappointed with the bruce
campbell cameo because it was so short you know i was just like when they're walking away from
him and he's punching himself it was funny but i was like ah man i hope that's not it and so
when they brought it back for the final credits i don't remember laughing so hard at an mcu after
credits bit so well done after credits people was there anything else you didn't like
uh bad wigs green screen shots of the two boys saying mom mom come here mom please come over
here mom mom come over here please when she's like standing right there she's looking at you
what else did you want her to do i mean just nitpicky stuff i guess well what was the pawn
things that were repeated in this movie were are you happy and you had to be the one holding the
knife these comments relate to both doctor strange and wanda both are holding on to something dear
to them strange keeps wearing his broken watch and reveals that he always wished it could have
worked out with him and christine and wanda is still suffering from her loss but the hold tells
wanda everything you lost can be yours again the temptation to interfere and take what you want
is holding the knife america tells strange in the multiverse rule number one is forget everything
you think you know she's saying give up the knife and after they see the error in their ways they
begin to let go it's pretty standard conclusion i guess wanda lets go knowing her boys will be
loved and strange lets go knowing christine will be loved wanna does the right thing and gives up
control removing herself and destroying the dark hole from all universes and strange shows he's
letting go of the knife when he finally bows to wang after refusing to give wang the satisfaction
earlier in the film he asks wong if he is happy wong says i remain grateful about this universe
even with its tribulations and i think that is the point do your best to remain grateful
no matter what pain you've suffered because obsessing over the past does not bring happiness
after strange hears this he fixes the broken watch he puts it away and immediately grows a higher
perspective by physically opening his mind's eye in his forehead that's how i interpreted it i mean
that's either symbolic of finding enlightenment or just a convenient after effect of the heavy toll
from the dark hole i don't know maybe dr strange just has a third eye and that's always been canon
but i took it as symbolic meaning we'll watch everything everywhere all at once it's got the
third eye thing too okay so those are my thoughts i mean this movie was very packed so i'm sure i
may have skipped something let me know what you think in the comments let me know if there's
anything you liked or didn't like or anything that i forgot to mention did you like the movie did it
freak you out did it get you fired up for more sam raimi let me know your thoughts okay that's
all for now thank you guys so much for watching we hope you enjoyed it don't forget to follow us on
