Marvel has yet again delighted our eyeballs in their most recent addition to the MCU. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is a no holds barred edition to Phase 4 and lives up to the hype. Director Sam Raimi brings his tride and true expertise to the MCU, but instead of simply rehashing his Sony Spider-Man entries he shines bright in his Evil Dead/Army of Darkness roots.
Here are our top 4 things to love about the film:
Direction: This was Sam Raimi through and through. If youre a fan of Evil Dead, evil Dead 2 or Army of Darkness then you will overwhelmingly notice the similarities. I like that Raimi was given this entry as opposed to No Way Home. While he IS known for Spiderman. Letting his explore his Evil Dead roots was a perfect call for this semi horror entry
Design: The entry really feels like a live action What If..? film. Its full of content (via multiverse travel) that all fits right in with its animated cousin, complete with characters we’ve seen…. plus others we haven’t.
Easter Eggs: Have em? YUP!!! Are we going to spoil em? NOPE!!
BRUCE!!: What’s a Sami Raimi vehicle without Bruce Campbell. Bruce returns, yet again, as with every Raimi movie, to make a cameo appearance. We were expecting it and loved its “innuendo” . If you are familiar with Evil Dead 2 then you’ll know how his scene relates to that film. If not, then do yourself a favor and go watch Evil Dead 2.
