this movie has unreal lamps AND candles. needed more talking goats though.
Well, had enough score fights to make up for that.
And a zombie Strange used by a dream walking strange who's in another universe.
Don't worry.
We'll get some flying goats in Thor: Love and Thunder.
How many lamps out of five would you give it?
@@ericpaisley8501 3 out of 5
What this movie needed was a longer runtime, more multiverse (like in the final act and middle act), more connections to WandaVision that would clear up plot holes from the show (cause let’s face it, this is Wandas movie too), less comedy or lazy writing lines and more intelligent lines and JUST A LITTLE MORE CAMEOS!
just watched it. definitely some “holy shit they actually did that” moments with Wanda. definitely had raimi’s signature throughout the film
Sucks that the script was shit
@@tylerjames805 was alright, you meant the plot was shit, everyone's acting and dialogue was on point to me. The plot needed exposition and honestly a real backstory with Kang explaining offscreen how The Multiverse works, then he gives an example by pointing to Wanda's location, then they zoom directly to her cabin from Wandavision's post credits scene where Chthon speaks to her consciousness while asleep.
From there this all suddenly would've made sense, plot fixed.
Yeah the fans are just so biased
I love the film
every scarlett witch scene is very evil dead
Multiverse of Madness definitely stepped up the cinematography. The camera movements and stylized feel Sam Raimi brought to it was unlike any other Marvel movie. I feel it was mainly brought down by the story. I think this would’ve been a great opportunity to explore more multiverses with the same and different actors playing versions of the same role. They are probably just saving that for future movies ig. I’ve been looking forward to this movie, after loving the Loki series last year. And felt kinda disappointed leaving the theater with cliffhangers without context and the base storyline that left me wanting so much more from the “Multiverse of Madness” title.
If they’re saving more of the multiverse thing for another movie, then they better come up with a more bombastic name than “Multiverse of Madness” cuz just the name had my hopes sky high. I haven’t been this disappointed since I was born.
@@mamanche exactly, when they come out with the name "Multiverse of Madness" there should be more than 2 universes they explore 😅
Yes this movie and Moon Knight have the best cinematography in the MCU
@@matthewboden there was 4 lmfao....if it was 3 hours, maybe 6 universes.
1st there's the gap junction Defender Strange, our Strange's 616 universe, the universe where Illuminati Strange was executed by Black Bolt. Lastly, the incursion 838 universe where Sinister Strange lives. That is a lot for 2 hours. How many more could they have fit it, man?
I loved the camera movements and the color palette
Dive into heavy spoilers. Make it a 12-15 minute long review. It’s crazy how much I agree with the points you share. I’M ALL IN!
I want to when it starts streaming probably - it's just so hard to keep repeating footage from the trailers. I'll gauge the interest and if some more clips and interviews come out I can probably do a deeper dive. thanks for watching!
Yeah same here. I had the exact same take aways after exiting the cinema😂
@@impatrickt Please don't forget! I'll look forward to it.
Yeass we need it!!
@@impatrickt well now that it has released on Disney+, we expect a video soon
Sam Raimi is the man. Thats the feeling a comic book movie should give, haven't seen it for like a decade
Sam is awesome
no it has evil dead feel
@@kunyang3129 a bit of both
Sam is the man.
Missed Zack Snyder's Justice League?
Multiverse of madness felt alive. The visuals, the camera, and the cinematography were all positively stimulating and genuinely surprised me throughout. In terms of horror it’s also very solid and uses it well, along with giving Dr strange great writing to work with that makes him a more compelling character. I hope Sam Raimi gets more to do in the MCU, because he’s shown the best talent thus far that leaves a lasting impression.
Man you couldn’t have put it better. Absolutely in agreement. First time in a while that I’ve felt like my inner filmmaker being engaged by a Marvel film in terms of craft! Totally not as tight as some other Marvel films but I’d take a mess that makes me feel something over a cookie cutter movie any day.
100%
My feelings on MoM captured perfectly! For whatever flaws it has it’s still infinitely more alive as a film than the more structurally secure yet boring films Marvel usually makes.
I absolutely loved when shit got weird. Unfortunately, for a movie called Multiverse of Madness, there was certainly a lot of screen time devoted to people standing around in mundane environments talking about the plot.
That’s why I call it “Scarlett Witch and the Really Tame Multiverse of Easily Killed Cameos. Oh and Dr. Strange is there too I guess.”
@@tylerjames805 they killed it as the cast, but they killed the plot with pushing Scarlet Witch as the main villain without Chthon or Kang backstory to how events were twisted through their perspective as masters of the concept.
@@murk4552 Yes, more Cthon thrown into our faces would be worth it. I understand why they keep Mephisto more obscured, even if Phase 4 reeks of his activities. Feige has something grand under the Prince of Darkness' sleeves.
@@oujimandias6485 I hope it's Doom's origin story which begins with Mephisto driving him on his path to who he becomes.
@@oujimandias6485 My favorite villains who can't die, just temporarily "held captive", "in statis", "put in another form", cause it is like they will always win and the heroes just suffer or die eventually.
Without Sam Raimi, this would be a Thor: The Dark World.
I'm absolutely gonna watch it again, but only because it looks so good. The direction was everything.
Marvel needs Sam Raimi, that is clear. From the available super heroes, I can't really see him work with anyone but Dr Strange and Spider-Man. Looking into villains however, I'd love to see him with House of Harkness or season 2 of Loki.
I'll take that back, I want a Hulk movie of his
@@deldarel imagine a Raimi styled Secret Wars-
Sam raimi styled fantastic four will be awesome
@@abhikmanna3660 any movie that's styled Raimi will be awesome.
I'm seeing it Monday. Great to hear that Raimi's signature is all over it, I was worried it would be the usual generic Marvel mess.
Its a solid 8 for me..its awesome
.
I loved it
Just watched it. Definitely not generic this movie is how mcu films should be like. I hope Sam Raimi take more marvel projects in the future.
Raimi really combined the aspect of his horror movies and MCU logic here he's a goddamn one of the GOAT directors out there
It was really nice to see actual style in a MCU movie (especially Sam Raimi's style)
Completely agree.
Marvel is fast food. You know what you're gonna get. You know you're gonna like it and you know it'll be effortless in every way.
But that's the problem.... They are so stuck in their own formula that it's too predictable and boring
yep
I agree how most of the MCU films just look bland in style especially with their cinematography and color grading. I’m not a big MCU guy but I was on cloud 9 when I saw MoM. Sam Rami’s made that movie his own and it’s possibly the best looking MCU film imo. Also Elfman’s score was so memorable and felt like a character in the movie
I see this opinion quite frequently, but I couldn't disagree with it more. I personally love the color grading of the Russo's (IW/Endgame) - it feels grounded, like the characters are actually part of the world and not some sugary, garish neon CGI that we see in the "colorful" MCU films.
Rhe problem was that's what they wanted.. so they all live in thebsame universe. That's why Edgar Wright was fired.. his antman was too comic book so he was fired..and now it's back lashed for marvel not allowing directors to show theirnvoi e
This is the first time i've LOVED an mcu film only because of it's direction. Like i keep thinking about the best scenes in this movie and not one of them has any dialogue
I still prefer Dr Strange 1 but this movie is really good and I loved it.
It feels much more fun and interesting than 90% of the other marvel movies. My favourite parts of this movie was the one's where Sam Raimi shines the most (where it feels he is the most free to create).
I like your pfp
Yah the first part was neatly written but this one is visually powerful and beautiful.
I like the horror shot for wanda when she's sleep walking it's fit perfectly
Finally!! A proper video that understands Raimi's Genius filmmaking style.
You're goddamn right! This is the first MCU where I don't want to edit the colors and contrast on my TV.
Raimi's style completely saved a movie with a poor plot and pace, and made it absolutely memorable.
I like how they didn’t try to redeem the villain or create some super heavy cop out for their actions.
they kind of did though. that’s one of my issues.
@@impatrickt i really don't think that the villain is fully redeemed provided that they have a lot more to go further, the prophecy has not yet taken action.
@@pranjanarahangdale9629 it was enough for me to say “fuck this”
@@impatrickt It's called a cliffhanger. The real Multiverse of Madness might be explored in Doctor Strange 3.
@@theilluminatibenefactor again. fuck this
Just got back from watching it and you wrapped everything I thought about the movie perfectly. After seeing it and ignoring the glam that Sam Rami put on the movie, I realized how basic the plot was and how it had a typical super hero movie plot. But my God did Rami add some great touches to it to make me forget it at certian points.
What I love about this movie was it was his movie, it’s finally a marvel movie that’s director driven rather than studio driven. I’ve been getting sick of marvels approach to movies lately but I absolutely loved this one, my favourite mcu movie.
i'm a big Raimi Fan, and here are some of the Sam Raimi esques scenes/Callbacks i noticed in the movie - in random order : (spoiler Alert!)
-
-
-
-
-
-
- the Camera work on Strange waking up after the dream (the spin cut transition)
- the Dark overcloud scenes in NewYork
- Blood Dripping from Scarlet Witch's Head (Raimi uses such visuals to show the demonic women)
- the Red Glowy eyes and silouhette figure of scarlet witch
- the Shield Piercing Captain Britian like how Glider pierced Green Goblin
- the refrence to Evil Dead's Ash's awake Hand
- the reflections and liquid.
- The Car.
For real, Raimi did bring a fresh coat of paint to the MCU. Storywise, I think the film was ultimately grounded. The name ‘Multiverse of Madness’ should suggest something big and a dive into this mega complex story. Yet, not being that, it does give time and space for exploring these characters’ journey, which I believe is what Marvel Studios should be focusing on. I mean, given Wanda’s tragic story and Stephen having his fair share of burden, it is quite a lot and enough to make a more compelling and emotional script. Sure, it does have some of this but they should’ve gone farther. In my mind, I was replaying how great it would be for Wanda clashing with one specific character.
This movie was epic! You could really tell Raimi was directing it - as he’s a very stylistic director.
They definitely leveled up the cinematography this time. Although, it could've been so much more plot-wise. This movie could've easily been a cluster of multiple layered events happening side by side but it went a little flat.
Absolutely agree with you bro. Loved raimi’s work on this film, he has such a phenomenal style. I liked this film a lot better than No Way Home, because of how visually different and unique it is
Watched it last night and I enjoyed it very much. Can’t wait to film my review tonight!
I hope one movie there’s a villain that wants to destroy every other universe in the multiverse and they succeeded. We need a reset before this shit gets worse and worse
well said my man - if booking raimi and giving him a longer leash is a sign of marvel becoming self aware of their own trajectory right now, then i’m all about it
I hope they let Sam direct the 3rd film probably with more writers.
Crazy how your analogy on the Marvel formula at the end of the movie is the direct plot to Chef, which was inspired by the Marvel formula
Chef is my favourite movie.
It was a good movie did had high expectations about the movie, but the way Sam raimi and the crew did to Wanda made up for it. They made Wanda a menacing and fearful character, they did an amazing job
If only they would have kept the same writer of Dr Strange 1 with Michael Waldron, the movie would have been amazing..
Raimis cinematography in this was nothing short of incredible
I was really satisfied after watching this movie because it felt like a Sam Raimi movie. His handwriting is all over the film and I love it.
Man I’ve been realizing how I didn’t appreciate Iron Man 3 when it came out. I think about it now and am like Damn I think I now see what Shane Black was doing or trying to do.
Sam Raimi initially didn't want to direct any future superhero films, having lost faith in himself due to the critical and audience backlash he received from Spider-Man 3 (2007) due to studio interference from Sony. However, getting the call from his agent about this film encouraged him to try again, as he had thoroughly enjoyed the first Doctor Strange film (as well as the character himself) and wanted to see if he could live up to the challenge of meeting the audience's expectations once again.
True, BUT, that "sheen" you speak of is what makes the film special. it's the Raimi Effect. I agree, Marvel is stretched too thin and that, by order of physics, means that the films that they make aren't very deep. I do think that if they had less money, they'd make more interesting films.
I love this movie. Dr. Strange is now my most favourite superhero.
Ik what u mean about having no consequences bc there’s infinite number of these characters but it made me realize that the MCU is becoming and leaning more into comic books bc when some one dies they don’t really die
Make a side by side scene
With the giant octopus fight in doc strange 2
And the airport fight in Civil War
Its just more vibrant
The airport scene is better imo though
I really hated the mcu for the longest time. Civil War, Infinity War, and Endgame all felt very bland and underwhelming to me but Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man Movies made up the majority of my childhood. So when I heard he was coming back to direct another marvel movie, I just knew it was gonna be a banger and I had to see it. After watching MoM, all I can say is that I was not disappointed. This was the best mcu movie I’ve ever seen. Sam Raimi knows how to make a marvel movie and I hope to see him make more because this is how the mcu should be portrayed.
So the mcu should be portrayed the way you want it too? Because the way I see it the way it's been portrayed is the way the majority wanted it to. Either way marvel is experimenting more with their projects these days
What about NWH
I didn’t know Sam directed the movie but halfway I was like this movie looks different and it’s amazing so when I see the credits and notice who the director is, I’m not impressed :’) welcome back Sam
I think the film is watchable for Sam Raimi. Glad he came back and made his stamp in mcu.
If Sam Raimi wasn’t directing this movie it wouldn’t be even half as good. Especially I love the last third of the movie where things get interesting and crazy and you can see Raimi in it very clearly.
Not “oh shit!” but not like an epic scene or action, whatever. “Oh shit, WHOAH. Did it just see THAT?!” I would actually LOVE two cuts of a Wanda/Scarlett Witch movie. Can’t say more without spoiling. Love your reviews man :)
While profoundly mediocre, Doctor Strange 2 is quintessentially a Sam Raimi movie. You see it everywhere, from music to camera movements, to dialogue and colors, with his unique approach to action/horror subgenre. That's his turf.
If Marvel wants to tap into the horror themed superheroes, Sam Raimi is your man. He would have done a great Morbius film.
Appreciate the non spoiler approach to the vid. Very enjoyable listening to your take on Marvel movies. Def like to hear more like this- top 3 Netflix series or docs…Rotten Tomassos!
one could easily notice sam raimi's gore style in this movie when 1. he popped out the giant's eye from the socket 2. Wanda walking like a zombie under tunnel 3. Stephan strange's dead version turns alive while dreamwalking. these were just obvious rami's styles. i bet he must've ejoyed every bit of making it in MCU
🐐
Can't wait to watch it. I think the only way to close off the anti-consequence multi-verse is to bring in the characters yet to be introduced (who shall not be named), and then remove Wanda and Dr Strange from the storyline.
You speaking facts. I gave it a 9/10. Honestly I am just a huge comic book nerd and this is by far one of the most comic booky movies ever. The tone shifts, that music fight, camerawork, all just feel right out of a comic strip along with like you said how unique it is from any other mcu movie. I personally didn’t have any serious problems in the plot that would hurt my rating of it, I would just say the only thing that ruined it for me is that America Chavez was a little corny in some scene like the what’s up thing at the end her sudden ability to use her powers. But everything else I loved personally
I have such mixed feelings about this movie. It was pretty different visually and stylistically from any other Marvel film, but it felt pretty disjointed as well. I left the theater asking "why" about a lot of things, but not the kind of why that I actually want an answer to, if that makes sense; just confusion. Felt like it had potential to be far more than it was and the trailers leading up were pretty misleading. Frankly, I think the plot went to many places without properly exploring all of them, which is also odd considering how much empty space there seemed to be in a lot of parts of the film.
Overall though, this confirmed something of a fear of mine: "The Batman" has had a significant impact on how I view superhero setpieces now. Atmosphere can have such a huge impact on a film and, for all of Raimi's stylistic flair that he clearly tried to engage with this movie, the hand of the Disney/Marvel machine was still quite present. It's getting harder for me to ignore rushed CGI/green-screen work as these continue, especially as one who works in post-production, and I'm left wondering if Marvel can really keep up this pace of output without irreparably damaging the storytelling that keeps an audience interested. My excitement for the future of Marvel is just significantly lower now.
The Batman did to comic book films
what MI: Fallout did to action films for me. It just sets a new bar of excellence and it’s hard for me to not compare it.
@@impatrickt 1000%. Once you see what's possible, that's all you see.
CGI/green screens are a big part of all Sam Raimi's blockbuster movies. Rewatch his spiderman films and you'll see how much CGI are actually in those movies. This movie is not an exception.
@@abbeyBominable123 I don't have a problem with CGI or green screen. In fact, I'm very against the denigration of CGI work that's become popular in film discussion circles lately. My problem, as I mentioned in the original comment, is the seemingly rushed and consequently sub-par VFX work in the film that's become more apparent specifically with Marvel productions due to the way they keep crunching the timelines for finishing. My criticism is largely one of Marvel release timelines, not Raimi or the VFX industry at large.
CGI is a net good for filmmaking and I'm not into the hyper-worship of practical effects as a somehow "superior" form of VFX. I just think it was poorly done in this film and has been lackluster for some time with a number of Marvel films. I blame the studio for that.
@@impatrickt for a Marvel film to achieve what the 2022 Batman I achieved it needs to not be held back by the whole MCU business plan I would think 🙄
0:30 I was thinking I was the only one ☀️
I like to think Kevin Feige is just trying to buy himself time to think what the real next play will be, since now he got mutants and the Fantastic 4 to play with.
Yeah, he has something else planned other than Kang and possibly Doom. The REAL Multiverse of Madness is coming, I can feel it.
I loved this movie I had a lot of fun and I wasn't expecting anything of what happened so i really enjoyed that
Some style - love it!!
I couldn't stop thinking about how the film would look when they revealed Sam Raimi was directing it.
The answer is chaos...he can direct chaos very well...
Can you imagine Patrick talking about something and it not being interesting?
Yeah, neither
❤️
There were jump scares and some suspense but as usual good CGI and VFX also
The movie had a VISUAL PERSONALITY
I hope in next project, Studio (disney) would give Raimi more freedom to direct and cut it... I felt this movie good but not the best yet for now
Sam Raimi's camera angles and how he does it. I literally jumped out of my seat at those moments where I noticed the "Evil Dead" angles. Plus the Souls of Damned ? The Deadites !
My film-making buddies and I were talking about this too!
Watching it today, can’t wait
0:20 Meanwhile Taika Waititi: “Am I a joke to you?”
garbagio
I agree with this quote from the video, “.. ever since … multiverse … nothing really matters anymore .. “
Loki, Shang Chi, Wandavision and Thor Ragnarok do have more vivid color schemes.
So I think Thor 3, Suicide Squad (DC) and GotG set the new tone for Phase 4.
All four of those still look ass. Even the new Thor trailer is blah.
Sam Raimi is God's gift to bringing a whole new genre to the MCU....horror
I actually agree with you with pretty much everything you said, Sam Ramis finger prints are all over this film and I loved it, its definitely one of the best if not the best looking films in the MCU, I dont understand how some people conplained about the horror, seriously if people think that is too much then they dont know what horror films are, not trying to be mean to anyone but seriously, shocking for MCU yes but not in all of cinema, also I think even the music recieved a major step up thanks to Danny Elfman, the score was great and memorable and I loved the fighting with the music notes, it was an example of creative people allowed to be creative, well for the most part but then they have to check all of the MCU boxes, kinda sucks that it has to be that way
I even agree with the points of the Russos visual style, it can be flat and dull sometimes, it kind of sucks to say that because some of their films had some of the most intriguing plots and action in the MCU especially with their Captain America films, I will say the visual style on those didn't suffer as much as their Avengers films especially since their Captain America films had a lot more real practical action while Avengers became way too CGI heavy, some earlier films did show signs of that style like Thor 2 and even the first Avengers but it became more amplified as it went along, there where some shining peacons in the dark though with films like Guardians of the galaxy 2 and Avengers age of ultron, while the cinematography was rather standard I just loved the color grading on those films so much more
Here's to hoping that they allow directors to have more freedom and style for years to come.....and give composers time to make better music scores too and not let it be drowned out with all of the action
See i think your points are great and i guess it can be a generic story but sam used those in the orginal spidey movies and it worked well for character development. My only issues was the script and dialogue was slightly iffy and that wanda introduction was slightly rushed.
original spider-man doesn’t have a generic story though and it’s full of good twists and turns.
Sam is the Alfred Hitchcock of Horror and Fun 😁👍
Sam Raimi gave back what MCU has been lacking, emotions.
Hey, I'm really liking your videos. I suggest you make a video on Marvel's Daredevil. It's basically Marvel's masterpiece. You're gonna love the level of filmmaking creativity there and the performances and the story too
I’ve seen all of it. It was fine but I wasn’t a huge fan.
@@impatrickt Oh that's sad! It's the best superhero show I've ever seen. But I respect your opinion, mate :-)
*_"You may not like the movie, but you can't deny the movie's got STYLE"_*
Marvels biggest flaw is still that they churn out unlikeable characters that never get any blowback for their actions.
In that case, nothing is fixed.
Sam Raimi is a God.
That POV shot with the souls of the damn, I felt like Sam was saying through that shot "Haha, Style you say. I'm going to show these assholes how to make a movie"
I do agree with your points but it is all about the expectations and moments. A majority of the fans who watch these movies enter the theatres to experience the moments that they never thought they would be able to see on a big screen. That is one of the reasons that the generic formulaic MCU movies work better than some others. Although I love movies like Batman, which actually made me feel like I was in Gotham, I still think it is okay for MCU to do what they are doing with some experimenting here and there.
what was experimental?
I could kinda agree with the sentiment is this video but some shots visually felt cheesy or old.
Like when the demons were attacking Christine and the cam was up in her face. That felt cringey.
Certain shots felt very 90s too which is what I mean by old. Which makes sense since it's Raimi but I had hoped he'd upped his visual game over the years.
I felt like MoM weren't the only think like this in term of visuall, but Phase 4 in generall.
What i mean by that, was i can't denied when its come to visuall, the MCU had been went downhill since phase 3 begin, you can see how different the quality of visuall in their movie from Phase 1 and 2 with how they look in Phase 3 (with fiew minor exception like Doctor Strange, GOTG 2, Thor Ragnarok, and Avengers Infinity War & Endgame)
But with Phase 4 they kinda fix this issue by giving most of their movie a bit distinct style in their background
For example, Wandavision had diffrent kind of color pallete in each eps that gave us sitcom feeled to it, FATWS and Black Widow had a more darker color pallete due to its darker and edgier tone, Loki was basically almost the same levell as GOTG in term of visuall, The background from Shang-Chi (especially when we get to Ta-Lo),Hawkeye color pallete were colorfull fit perfectly to captured the christmast feeled to it, and of course Eternall and MoM
But, this is just my opinion thought
I dont know I think they all look pretty bad. Moon Knight is one of the only ones that looked pretty good.
the entire runtime of the film was a nod and homage to Sam Raimi himself, his trademark Evil Dead signature cinematography where all around the scene.
definately agree with your take on it in terms of HOW the movie was shot, but the why was still leaving a bit to be desired. Honestly, I think this would have been the movie to introduce Kang or at least some Variant of him with the illuminati, like you could of had Iron Lad in there with Johnathan Majors and he could have played that version, in fact you could have even made a reference to the multiversal war through him and given us a glimpse of what happened.
Also if we talk about camera angle... Thor 1 its a f*ucking masterpiece
Benedict Cumberbatch (Strange) and Elizabeth Olsen (Wanda) absolutely killed it in this film, and everyone involved did an awesome job making both characters shine bright. Sadly, everything around them is just the quirky but safe Marvel stuff we come to expect.
Visuals were amazing in this movie 🍿
This is soo Raimi almost like watching Darkman sequel.
I think this might be the best looking MCU movie, it's better looking than anything in the MCU Waititi and Gunn directed, and it's better looking than Infinity War.
It makes sense though, the visuals in a Dr.Strange movie should look very pretty.
yes - I think Scott Derrickson did a pretty good job with the first one too.
This movie definitely saved the Scarlet Witch, I don't know if many directors could lead her story on to this quality besides Sam Raimi.
#RaimiTakeover for the MCU, man!
I really enjoyed the new style
Solid take man. Really enjoyed watching this
Agreed this movie so much unique and although flawed but how sam potraying the main villain is feel refreshing
Visual story telling 🙏🏽😭
I would guve it 8.6/10
I'm only a minute and 20 seconds in but the first thought that comes to mind: what about taika waititi and Thor Ragnarok. I'd say that has the most style out of any MCU film
it looks like dog shit in any dialogue scene
I watched this on acid and I have to agree with everything you said in the beginning of the video.
I think the only other MCU director who’s style has really come through other than Raimi is Taika Waititi, especially with the comedy he brings such a distinct tone to the films in my opinion
Taika doesn't know how to properly balance comedy and seriousness. Every one of his movies is a comedy. Thor: Love and Thunder is his latest abomination.
You just summed up what I had to say. 👍
