Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, the movie that will carry the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s multiverse that started with Spider-Man: No Way Home to the next stage, will be released on Friday, May 6th. So, will Marvel fans be able to get what they want from this movie? The answer to this question was given by the critics who attended the premiere of the movie.
The critics, who had the chance to watch the first screening of the movie at the gala, generally came together on one common point: Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was the most different Marvel movie to date, and this difference was positively reflected to the audience. Let’s take a look at the critics’ comments.
What do critics say about Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness?
“The weirdest, greatest Marvel movie”
“Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is the weirdest, most heartwarming Marvel movie ever. Partly on purpose, it’s largely detached, so it’s not good in every sense, but horror and Wanda in particular are incredibly good. Plus wow.. what great surprises.”
“Elizabeth Olsen got the job done”
“DoctorStrange is full of hilarious sequences, character-driven weight, and ever-changing, intense visuals. Xochitl Gomez is a stage stealer. Elizabeth Olsen got the job done. Benedict Cumberbatch is superb. A good entry point for Horror For Beginners. It’s signed by Raimi.”
“Marvel’s scariest and most violent movie”
“Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, with tremendous action sequences and a stunning performance by Elizabeth Olsen it is mind blowing. He’s absolutely terrified. Marvel’s scariest and most violent(!) movie to date.”
“100% Sam Raimi movie”
“Doctor Strange is totally crazy and insane. The 100% Sam Raimi movie (which is greatly appreciated) is the scariest MCU entry ever. Go knowing as little as possible. Your journey to the multiverse will be much more enjoyable.”
“A fun and dark journey”
“Multiverse Of Madness was at times messy and unhandled. However, it’s also a fun and dark ride. There are things in this movie that I can’t believe are true (in the best way possible). Xochitl Gomez was fine in her MCU debut, but I wish America had a more dynamic role.”
“Marvel made a horror movie”
“MARVEL MADE A HORROWEL! It’s weird, scary and earns the title “Multiverse of Madness”. If you think this movie won’t make you feel like enough of Sam Raimi, fear not! I can’t imagine more Sam Raimi MCU movies. My kind-loving heart is bursting right now.”
“A dark and wildly creative production”
“Okay! Marvel fans finally got their horror movies. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse Of Madness is a dark and wildly creative production from the warped and bright mind of Sam Raimi. Damn. Improve your comic book knowledge… Superhero fans will lose their faces!”
When we look at the reviews so far, the comments about the movie seem extremely positive. But some critics say that there are some ‘breaks’ in the course of the film. Let’s see what Marvel’s upcoming films will offer us..
