control your hype
First of all, and as is customary with almost all films in this cinematic universe, critics have felt that Marvel Studios has gotten the hang of driving fans crazy in the weeks leading up to their releases. It is not known how (or yes), but there are millions of people who do not want to leave much time between when a movie arrives in theaters and the moment they see it. And the fear of spoilers is the main reason. Even so, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness it has achieved a 77% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 7.6 on IMDB. Not bad, right?
The aspects that the critics have praised the most have been Elizabeth Olsen’s performance as Wanda Maximoff, the charisma that Xochitl Gómez radiates in the role of América Chávez and, especially, the direction of Sam Raimi, who knows how to give it his own personal touch to this second film of the supreme sorcerer, interspersing moments of action, with light touches of terror and the odd scene that takes the recommended age to its limit.
Also special mention to the soundtrack composed by Danny Elfman, who It reminds us a lot of his previous works, such as the trilogy of spider-man which, coincidentally, was also directed by Raimi himself, as well as the special effects department, which brings the Marvel multiverse to life in ways we couldn’t have imagined.
Marvel Studios, not everything is perfect
However, the critics also highlight some aspects that are not so positive, such as the script, which does not seem to be as complete as we might expect from the trailers that have been published. The general rhythm also occupies a space in the analyzes where they highlight that it could have been better. More fluid.
As the last less brilliant aspect that the film presents is that, although the multiverse is very present in the film and very spectacular and crazy dimensions are seen, Its potential is not fully exploited. understandable if we take into account that this feature film is not the end of the multiverse saga but just one more chapter.
The last thing to keep in mind is that this film it’s an entirely Doctor Strange tape, so it would be convenient to lower expectations. Numerous critics emphasize that, although there is indeed its good dose of epic, surprises and multiverse, it is not a new film of The Avengersso we shouldn’t expect 200 million superheroes and villains from the Marvel factory on screen at once.
Lastly, they state that the film as a whole will not leave anyone indifferent, and that it expands the possibilities of the Marvel universe in a monstrous way so, if the studio continues to exploit this open path, it bodes well for them a great future in which fans will enjoy relentlessly. Are you going to see her soon?
