Film Review: “Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness”

The Best Terminator movie since “Judgement Day”.

Even before Spider-Man swung his way into theaters 20 years ago, Sam Raimi has been a household name. From “Evil Dead” to “Darkman” to “Drag Me To Hell”, Raimi has had quite the career behind the camera. While he is more known for both his “Spider-Man” trilogy and his horror films, Raimi has quite a bit of range as well: most notably with the underrated Western “The Quick and the Dead” and the 2013 Disney prequel “Oz: The Great and Powerful.” When it was announced that he would be taking over “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” after Scott Derrickson stepped down, I was extremely enthusiastic to see what he would bring to the MCU.

Taking place directly after the events of “Spider-Man: No Way Home”, Strange is left unhappy and unsatisfied. Attending the wedding of his ex-girlfriend, Christine Palmer (Rachel McAdams), Strange ponders his lack of fulfillment. However, the wedding is interrupted when America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez) enters the picture being chased by supernatural creatures. As he begins to decipher what is going on, Strange goes to Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) for answers. Unfortunately, a new threat emerges, putting everyone and everything in peril.
