Introduction to Marvel Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Movie Review

 

 

Marvel Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness movie is currently streaming on Disney Plus.  Of course, when I found out Marvel Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness movie was streaming free on Disney Plus, I did not hesitate to watch it.

 

 

What do I really think about the Marvel movie, Doctor Strange in the Multivers of Madness? Were there any negatives about the film? Check out my movie review of Marvel Doctor Strange in the Multiverse movie to find out.

 

Synopsis of Marvel Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Movie

 

The plot of Marvel Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness movie is rather simple and straightforward. A young girl (Xochiti Gomez as America Chavez) has the power necessary to give the villain, Scarlet Witch, also known as Wanda Moximoff, what she wishes for. However, if the power is taken, it will lead to the demise of the young girl.

 

 

Enter Doctor Strange to rescue or save Xochitl Gomez’a character from the power-seeking villain, Scarlet Witch, who seems difficult to defeat. By the way Scarlet Witch - Wanda Maximoff is played by Elizabeth Olsen and Doctor Strange is played by Benedict Cumberbatch. Doctor Strange 's romantic interest is played by Rachel McAdams as Christine Palmer.

 

 There are multiple versions of the characters as they travel to and from many multiverses – some which seem to be advanced in technology, and others that appear to be of a dark nature.  In fact, in one multiverse, there is a version of Doctor Strange who is defending what is called the dark hole where he lives in a haunted-looking mansion.

 

In the midst of the above scenarios, there are numerous monsters the characters have to contend with – not counting the explosions that seemed to meet them at every turn in most of the multiverses.

 

The Marvel Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness movie is in no way comparable to the film I recently reviewed which involves multiverses -- Everything, Everywhere, All At Once.  The Marvel Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness film far exceeds Everything, Everywhere, All At Once movie in storylines, actions and quality by a long shot.

 

 

Characters in Marvel Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Movie 

 

Since the main character in the movie is Doctor Stephen Strange, I was sure the bulk of the actions would center around him. Doctor Strange gets a lot of screen-time; however, to my satisfaction, plenty of the characters has sizable roles in the Marvel movie, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness film – including  Elizabeth Olsen as Scarlet Witch or Wanda Moximoff.

 

Speaking of Scarlet Witch, I applaud the writers for giving her such a large role in the Marvel Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness movie. My interest levels in the movie peaked whenever she was on screen and displayed her superpowers – even though as a villain, her powers were detrimental to some.

 

Spoiler Alert: A plus for the movie is the omission of a big scene at the end with the two most powerful characters having a battle. However, this omission did not take away from the film, Marvel Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. I think the culmination of the actions ended as it should. You will know what I’m referring to if you watch Marvel Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness film.

 

Use of Imagination in Marvel Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Movie

 

In the Marvel Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness movie, you may be amazed at some of the imaginative scenes in the film. As you probably know, most of the visuals are using green screens as well as Computer-Generated Imagery (CGI). However, the technology was used in such a way that, in my opinion, it did not distract from the overall storyline of the film, Marvel Doctor Strange Multiverse of Madness.

 

Of note is the movie delving into the dark hole, where, as you probably guessed it, flying zombie-looking creatures and other monster images are displayed to show off the setting of this particular universe. As a side note, I watched this movie late at night and thankfully did not have any nightmares from the evil-looking characters that were shown. 

 

 

Negatives in  Marvel Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Movie

 

I noticed there were little to no suspense, per se in the film, Marvel Doctor Strange in the Multivere of Madness. The seemingly never-ending action scenes along with the monsters, magic, and abundance of CGI used in Marvel Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness movie more than made up for the lack of suspense.

 

You may have to listen closely, but Doctor Strange’s character spoke a few profane words during certain scenes, which I was not a fan of.

 

Also, as a superhero, it would seem to me that Doctor Strange would have some device, instrument, etc. to help him execute his magic instead of his cloak and motions of his hands. However the movie is based on a comic book character, so it’s understandable the film would follow the comic book’s rendition of Doctor Strange as closely as possible.

 

Just so you know, the above did not negatively impact my enjoyment or rating of Marvel Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness movie.

 

Assessment of Marvel Doctor Strange in the Multivers of Madness Movie

 

Beyond a shadow of a doubt, Disney Plus made it worth my subscription by adding the Marvel Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness film to its lineup of free movies. I felt like I got my money’s worth and more by being able to enjoy this movie by using their streaming service. 

 

If you have Disney Plus, you may want to check out Marvel Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness movie. If you prefer to watch it on the big screen, this may be an option, as the movie may be playing at your local movie theater.  

 

Whichever way you view the film Marvel Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness movie, I’m sure you may enjoy watching it just as much as I did.
