The weekend started early for me this week, and I spent some quality time last night in the movie theatre watching Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
I enjoy comic books, and I enjoy the movies that Marvel has been producing. I do not go to them looking to be enlightened, or for thoughtful dialogue or a cultural study of the human condition; instead, I go simply to be entertained.
The odd thing for me is that though I enjoy the movies, I do not particularly enjoy superhero comic books themselves. I find them, dare I say it, rather boring, anymore. When a particular hero, or group of heroes, has gone through a run of 500, 600, or more issues, what left is there to do? The enemies keep getting bigger and badder, and the heroes keep getting bigger and badder in turn. The love for me lies in non-Marvel and non-DC comics, particularly those that are of a limited run, and have a definite end to them, like any good story should.
Now, that said, this is about the Multiverse of Madness. I'm not so good at reviews, so I'll just summarise:
The beginning of the movie opened with <spoilers>. This led into <spoilers> at which point <spoilers> happened.
That was big, but the big surprise was <spoilers>! I'm glad I made a point of not looking up rumours, because when <spoilers> were shown it was a really nice surprise.
Of course the action was about non-stop, which is typical for a Marvel movie. What was different, however, was the horror aspect. When <spoilers> <spoiled> the <spoilers> I knew this was no normal superhero movie.
The movie ended with <spoiled> <spoilers>. It was a high point. The <spoilers> right at the end was a nice twist, which I did not see coming.
The final after credits scene had Bruce Campbell from Army of Darkness and cannot be missed.
