Review of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022) by Fuad_Rmnm — 07 May 2022

Unexpected chars with the very strange movie theme.

About the chars, we already knew if Marvel Studio really worked hard to develop audience satisfaction and loyalty. Unexpected chars?! It’s a must for Marvel movies! However, this movie is very strange for the superhero theme caused by the “apocalyptic zombie” ambiance. The strangeness of Dr. Strange's movie. This ambiance felt very strange for superhero movies which are they’re recently focused on children's segment and happiness themes. This movie is living proof if they want to bring a “dark” movie theme again – since Blade, Daredevil, Elektra, and The Punisher. They hope the strange theme is plausible for Doctor Strange. Maybe, they thought it was the time to join the competitive segment of the dark theme superhero, like the success of DC Comic through The Batman (2022).

The main plot is Dr. Strange forced to save a kiddo girl from being chased by a catastrophic enemy to kill her and absorb her power. This leads to adventurous trips to multiverses of the world. The pros of this movie are very incredible visuals, great moral value, and entertainment. Those three are a must for Marvel superhero movies. If need more satisfaction, this movie provides a new storyline and unexpected chars that maybe could be synchronized with another movie. Somehow, this is really providing satisfaction because we’re really curious and can’t wait about what is to come. Besides all of the pros, everything is just of standard quality. However, the biggest cons are very strange movie themes. “Apocalyptic zombie” is really vividly narrated through the end of the story. It’s really gross for me. Sadly, there is another disappointment which is the weak movie plot. Tbh, I didn’t really convince enough about why trade many lives to save one life? Another odd plot is there’s a bunch of chars that narrated as the great leaders but they just came in a glimpse and vanished. What is the actual point to show them in screen time? Lastly, Marvel Studios already pointed out their American political issue which brings very popular themes – American pride, LGBTQ, and Illuminati. This theme is very vividly but subtle through a char name, costume, and direct story.

Overall, in my personal POV, I really get annoyed with the “Apocalyptic zombie” theme but I'm satisfied with the unexpected chars. I thought it was so-so quality, but this movie is still good to watch. If u are really Marvel fans, it’s a must to see this movie to guess what is the actual grand storyline in the future. If u aren’t, this movie is still good to see because we could really enjoy it as newcomers that didn’t know anything about Marvel.
