The hugely anticipated Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness has finally been released, after months of speculation the big question was could it live up to the hype. The answer to this is both yes and no.
This film by far is the most violent film from the MCU with really strong horror moments which are clearly from the director Sam Rami. This darker tone helps it stand out from anything that the MCU has done before.
The performances in this film were also phenomenal with everyone doing their very best work in this film. However the stand out in this film is Elizabeth Olsen as The Scarlet Witch. She continues to make Wanda such a complex character, even as she does some horrid things in this movie you still feel for her as you know everything she has lost and that all she wants is to be a mother, which is clear throughout this film. If any comic book actor can break through at the Oscar’s it has got to be Elizabeth Olsen for best supporting actress as she just gave this film her all and you could just feel it.
The plot of this film is good nothing amazing or out of this world but it’s a solid story, but with great action and pacing. I would say though that the film could of done with some extra time to breathe as it was just going for it none stop.
Now going back to the question did it live up to the hype? If you are a big Wanda and Doctor Strange fan then you will absolute love this movie as this movie is their movie. However if you are going into this film to see the Multiverse and loads of variations of past marvel characters then I feel you may be disappointed. This is as there are T many multiverse characters in this film and those that are were mostly revealed in the marketing for this film. I was only shocked by two appearances in the film. However if you go in understanding this is a sequel to Doctor Strange and a continuation of Wandavison then you will have a fantastic time with this film.
Overall I would say this is a great, fun and violent MCU film with a lot of emotion coming for, Wanda. If you like the MCU and especially if you love Wanda and Doctor Strange then you will have a lot of fun with this movie.
