Dr Strange Multiverse of Madness

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Movie Review

By Julie Matthews

My head is spinning. I’ve just enjoyed Marvel’s Dr Strange Multiverse of Madness and hope that I’m back in my right universe. We are talking impressive CGI, visuals, effects, music and cinematography that transports you from world to world in a dizzying, twisting, mild altering series of mesmerizing fight sequences. It’s got humour, horror and a ton of surprises to keep you riveted. Multiverse of Madness is the latest in the huge Marvel franchise and explores stories that the comics fans will love.

The character of Wanda Maximoff (the Scarlet Witch) dominates the story as she tries to leave her universe due to her heartbreak over losing her loved ones (in a previous movie and the TV series Wanda Vision). Her actions pull Dr Strange into the story and when he finds out what she’s up to, he has to put his friendship aside and stop her.

Elizabeth Olson as the Scarlet Witch is truly superb. Breathtakingly beautiful, scary, broken and oh so much love and pain - an award-winning performance. Benedict Cumberbatch as Dr Stephen Strange is as always devilishly good with a strong and often humorous performance. I thoroughly recommend this movie. It does a great job of tying the many movies and tv series together and leaves you gasping for more.
