Some people will dismiss the film as nonsense, and they could have a point. But Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is a huge amount of fun. Read full review

Raimi’s sheer passion for his material can sometimes overwhelm the coherence of his storytelling, and his unfashionable sincerity doesn’t always mesh with the breezy quip-a-minute tone that is the Marvel enterprise’s preferred comic idiom. I mean those both as compliments. Read full review

What surprised me about Multiverse of Madness was how much fun Raimi was allowed to have in the middle of it, turning every action sequence into something quite inventive and even delivering some cheeky scares throughout. This many years into the Marvel experiment, I’m heartened to see space for a real genre auteur amid all the multiversal machinations. Read full review

For all its emotional horrors—witnessing the worst of ourselves and hoping for the best versions of ourselves eventually triumph over our inherent faults—Multiverse of Madness is arguably lacking the humanity, the heart, and soul of Marvel that works so well when balanced with humor and spectacle.

Somehow, Raimi – with strong, grounded turns from Cumberbatch and Olsen – just about keeps the film from running too far off the rails. Read full review

Despite his sorcerer bona fides and voluminous cape, Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange isn’t strange enough, and trying to parse the convolutions of the Marvel multiverse is more exhausting than engaging. Read full review

Many diehards, in their slavish, zombie-like subservience to the MCU gods, will tell you that Sam Raimi (brilliant on the 2002 “Spider-Man”) has directed a horror movie. Lies! It’s as scary and visually arresting as “Van Helsing,” “Underworld” and “Hellboy 2.” Read full review

I think people and critics are being cruel to this movie. certainly had some flaws like being rushed at points and some parts being a bit lazily written, but generally it was great and loved this Raimi gothic macabre take on marvel movies, it can later develop its own cult following. i giveI think people and critics are being cruel to this movie. certainly had some flaws like being rushed at points and some parts being a bit lazily written, but generally it was great and loved this Raimi gothic macabre take on marvel movies, it can later develop its own cult following. i give it a 10 because everyone else are giving unexpectedly lower ratings than it deserves.… Expand

Ppl are hating on it because it's different. It has the gore, action, amusement, and excitement that a movie should have.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I will give this movie a 7.8 out of 10 because the first act felt really rushed and kinda written bad but during the middle and end it got a lot better. But also I could definitely tell that this film was definitely reshoot a lot. And i didn’t like that. I heard and watch that the writer kept changing the scenes and story plot during end of production or during the production. I really wish they kept the original doctor strange writers. And I actually want to see Scott Derrickson version because of his concert art it really show a full potential of Multiverse of Madness. And an actual horror film vibe. No offense to rami I am a huge fan of his Spider-Man film. But still the cgi was little bad especially the third eye.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Nice visuals but the ending of the story is just so cliche. It's on par with "we will defeat the enemy with the power of friendship". America Chavez basically gained control of her powers because of a pep talk. Other than Thor, there's not much interest left in the Marvel cinematic universe. Just wait for the Disney+ release.… Expand
