Doctor Strange: In The Multiverse Of Madness - March 25, 2022

Best title ever.

Apparently Marvel are billing this as their first horror movie. Interesting.
 


He will executive produce though.

Glad to see he'll still have some input on the movie, but interested to see where the next direction goes. Personally thought Doctor Strange was in the upper tier of good Marvel movies, and am really looking forward to the sequel.

First movie;
Feel asleep first watch, paused for taking a s***e second try and went to bed forgetting TV was on.
Meh


IMO the thing to see from this movie is the "Open Your Eye" sequence. Pretty decent FX that teases the existence of other realms and powers. The movie never really follows through on this until the end though and not by much at that point.

This plus some mirror dimension fighting has some cool visuals, but the movie is kind of weak in many ways.




I think this movie chose a poor first villain that actually has to much in common with many MCU villains who are agents of Death and Destruction including Thanos and Hela or even Ultron. Just maniacs who want to destroy or conquer. I guess that's a way to play it safe though introducing a new hero character to the Disney Marvel audience.


I think they should have started with Nightmare which might have required Dr. Strange to go to a dream dimension. I'm not sure if Visual FX for that might be hard to budget though.

Someone on social media suggested Sam Rami being a good replacement, and I kind of agree. He started out with horror in the first Evil Dead and went on to make 3 Spiderman movies with Feige producing. Granted, only Spiderman 2 was really good, imo. 1 was OK, but did change the genre, while 3 I have not actually seen, and will forever choose not to.

Also, I have the original Doctor Strange on 3D BD, and the movie is like a completely different animal in 3D. I have a bright projector and a 100" screen, and the imagery is on another level. The 3D was done in post, but the scenes were specifically staged for 3D in mind, and it shows. It's up there in my top 3 3D movies, with Avatar and the Jurassic Park conversion.

I give Raimi some credit for DARKMAN as well.

He worked on the cable series, no? And I believe his most recent work is the new grudge movie...Spider-Man 3 was Sony’s doing, I blame them and not him for its wrong doings.
 

After the events of Avengers: Endgame, Dr. Stephen Strange continues his research on the Time Stone. But an old friend turned enemy seeks to destroy every sorcerer on Earth, messing with Strange’s plan and also causing him to unleash an unspeakable evil.
 
lol when they showed the library in Dr. Strange I felt it should have the Necronomicon. If Sam Raimi directs would be the case and maybe more.

In fact, it would be insane if Raimi just has Baron Mordo use that book channeling some Lovecraftian horror. :laugh:
Aside from that, do we get Bruce Campbell in somewhere?

What horrible death scene can he come up with for Ted Raimi?
 
i guess he’s a safe bet
I think that it's almost as typical as it is not typical. He has horror experience, as this is supposed to get dark. He also has Marvel/Fiege experience. Still, he really hasn't done anything in a while now. Somehow this seems expected and obvious, yet I feel like Rami needs to reinvent himself, and this could be the perfect vehicle for him to really reach back to his roots.

I think he directed some movie rather recently and it faired ok.

He’s got the experience of going r rated and dark but safe like young Hercules back when it was on fox.

who ever they pick they’ll still have the og director producing and input

Rumor has it, the previous director didn't want to shoehorn the Disney + WandaVision/Loki sidestory stuff into the story, but Kevin Fiege won't budge on that stuff.

This is almost typical Marvel even from their Comics Books. The Crossover Event is a hit, but it also tramples on the individual titles or previous path of characters is derailed.
