Review of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022) by Ashleyketchumx3 — 23 Jun 2022
What an absolute mess. Bringing Sam Raimi onto this was a huge mistake in my opinion. His style of directing is super dated and too campy. It completely ruined the immersion and feel of this MCU movie.
Some of the camera angles used and "slap-stick" styled scenes (like the hotdog stand guy) seemed so out of place and unnecessary and just... not funny. They throw in a new character, America, without allowing us to get attached and expected us to give a **** that she's being hunted.
They barely gave us anything to work with as far as her story and personality goes. Between the atrocious writing and her Disney Channel Original Movie level acting, I absolutely HATED her anytime she was in the scene.
Don't even get me started on the "fainting" tea scene. Her being surrounded by amazing actors and actresses made her lack of acting ability glaringly obvious. I also found it annoying that it's basically required to watch all of WandaVision to fully grasp Scarlet Witch's motivation, which the motivations for her actions STILL don't make sense.
She seems to have completely forgotten Vision, someone that ACTUALLY existed in her universe, for "her" two kids that she made up in her head. I could keep going on but it's just too much. Story was garbage, America's acting was garbage, writing was garbage, the WHOLE thing was absolute garbage.
The only good thing that came from watching this movie is knowing that I didn't pay to see it in theaters like I originally intended. Only giving it a one and not a zero because of some of the visual effects and Mr.
Benedict Cinnamonbun.
