Dr. Stephen Strange casts a forbidden spell that opens the doorway to the multiverse, including alternate versions of himself, whose threat to humanity is too great for the combined forces of Strange, Wong, and Wanda Maximoff.
While Benedict Cumberbatch’s original solo outing delivered a cerebral LSD trip with a sinister inflection, here Sam Raimi’s penchant for gore is executed to euphoric effect.
★★★★
Multiverse of Madness hurtles its characters from one reality to another, shedding the blandness of its opening stretch and giving Raimi, bless him, room to do things his way. As the film unfolds, Raimi’s hiring proves ever more inspired.
★★★★
The multiverse madness is treated with genial high-energy panache, though I have to say that this infinite profusion of realities does not actually feel all that different… from the shapeshifting, retconning world of all the other Avengers films.
★★★
