C’est moi qui me suis retrouvé dans un multivers de ouf quand j’ai vu la façon dont Sam Raimi s’est efforcé de projeter au grand écran son style singulier, ses fioritures rédactionnelles et picturales et sa touche d’horreur et de morbidité avant que le tout ne s’engouffre dans un abîme de maladresse scénaristique et dans une histoire totalement bateau – banale et dénuée d’intérêt. Encore une fois, Marvel ne fait que suivre la voie de la sécurité sans rien apporter de surprenant. Ses gimmicks réchauffés tels que la flopée de caméos insipides, qui freinent mortellement l’intrigue et ne sont là que pour annoncer le prochain spin-off, sont à vomir. De plus, son contemporain Everything Everywhere All at Once donne une belle leçon d’humilité à cette mégaproduction, démontrant qu’on peut parfaitement maîtriser ce genre de jeu sur les multivers sans devoir investir des montagnes. Sam, je te souhaite d’avoir encaissé un chèque assez conséquent que pour te lancer ensuite dans un film d’horreur low cost et te faire plaisir ainsi qu’à nous, le public. Par pitié !

Je pense qu’il serait souhaitable que je me rafraîchisse la mémoire par rapport au catalogue Marvel et que je visionne les quelques films que je n’ai pas encore vus. Parce que certaines références et certaines répliques ne me rappellent aucun contexte. Heureusement, chaque film est réalisé de sorte à procurer au spectateur une expérience indépendamment de sa connaissance des œuvres précédentes. Et puis, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness n’est pas trop confus ou incompréhensible. Mais il ne m’a pas non plus enthousiasmé outre mesure. La transformation d'Elizabeth Olsen en une méchante sorcière sexy ne m'a aucunement dérangé, Benedict Cumberbatch ne déçoit jamais, et j'ai réussi à oublier que Rachel McAdams avait aussi sa place dans ce film. L'un dans l'autre, je dirais précisément trois étoiles.

Of all the Marvel superheroes, Doctor Strange has the most potential for visually wild and appealing films. Filmmakers can get awfully crazy, and especially now that Strange is supposed to travel to other worlds and universes and where everything was once again based on magic, so the boundaries of normalcy were pushed a lot further than, say, in Black Widow. In that respect, there's nothing to fault in the Multiverse of Madness. Sam Raimi enjoyed his return to blockbusters and, unexpectedly, Kevin Feige allowed him to be his typical self. There are a few horror and scary moments, references to the visual style of the first Spider-Man and even Evil Dead, and it's nice to watch. The trouble is that there's not much interesting stuff going on. The story this time around is fairly banal, the characters uninteresting, and the whole time I felt like there was a missing minute here or there where it could slow down and go a bit more in-depth. I didn't get the sense that the universe was at stake or that Strange himself had to undergo some major transformation. It's simply a nice attraction, but it wraps up a not very interesting plot. It should have been better.

Somewhere in the multiverse, there's a better movie version of Doctor Strange. Marvel is fading and you can feel it. Spiderman was still a cool coda for the Avengers), but Black Widow and The Eternals are just mediocre concoctions in my opinion, and so far it doesn't look like it's going to get better in the future. In contrast hand DC with Suicide Squad 2 and The Batman are on a better path. Personally I wasn't too happy with the first Doctor Strange either and was hoping the second would grab me more due to the horror feel and multiverse madness. It's a hair better, but as a whole still not entirely satisfying. The performances are fine, Benedict Cumberbatch does his thing, Elizabeth Olsen is probably the best thing about the film, and the new character of America Chavez unfortunately didn't impress me much. Visually the film is without a doubt solid (although some of the CGI craziness was a bit not- so eye candy for me), the action again is not much but it is shot decently (the duel with the music was very original and imaginative, the Illuminati, the opening fight with the demon and the jump through different worlds was visually great). The humor is completely absent and the cameos seemed a bit unnecessary. In a few scenes you could even tell that Sam Raimi was directing the film (references to Evil Dead, the demon scene, a couple of jump-scares and one badass action sequence). Story-wise, the film doesn't have much to surprise, it lacks proper fatality and the MCU is not really moving anywhere unfortunately. Personally, I was hoping for more insanity in the multiverse, it's surprisingly not used that often and when it is it only gets interesting towards the end. I have nothing downright bad against the film, I enjoyed it, it goes by quickly, but I have no desire to watch it again. The trailer for Avatar 2, however, is amazing Story 3/5. Action 4/5, Humor 1/5, Violence 2/5, Fun 4/5 Music 3/5, Visuals 4/5, Atmosphere 3/5, Suspense 3/5, Emotion 2/5, Actors 4/5. 6/10.

“The most horror Marvel movie” tag is about as meaningful as “the hottest ice-cream”. Sure, the second Doctor Strange isn't as funny as, say, the latest Thor or Guardians of the Galaxy, but it won’t make your stomach churn, so to speak. While there is a Sam Raimi feel to it at times, I personally was hoping for a wilder, bolder, and well, crazier ride with a film subtitled "in the multiverse of madness", but it sticks within the safe confines of harmless fun and classic Marvel template. And it's a shame, because the potential was immeasurable and for the first time in a while Marvel could have operated with a non-generic "new" villain (clearly the film's strongest point). On a scene-by-scene level, it's occasionally great (Raimi's directorial input), too bad it's not supported by a more polished script.
