Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

MARVELous film.. I am an ardent MCU fan. There is an expectation when Sam Raimi gonna direct 2nd Doctor Strange obviously. But still I miss Scott Derrickson. But past is past, I feel this movie is one of the kind in MCU since I don't find any perfect villain than Scarlet Witch to Doctor Strange. She was extremely powerful. Overpowered I would say, And the fact most powerful villain makes great stories is evident here. SPOILERS AHEAD... SPOILERS AHEAD... SPOILERS AHEAD... SPOILERS AHEAD... SPOILERS AHEAD... SPOILERS AHEAD... Though in WandaVision, Wanda realise she was doing wrong for others and release ppl from hex, The credit scene in final episode of WandaVision shows she is abt to find a way where she can live with her children. Here the SpiderMan, Loki everything is going to combined. But I am not sure where the Multiverse is opened/ripped. But that gives wanda an oppurtunity to live with her children in different universe. For that she needs the power of America Chavez who is a kid with an ability of inter-dimensional multiverse travel but still learning to control it. Somehow america chavez end up in Earth-616 where all the previous MCU(movies & series) stories are happening, the main universe. Did Wanda succeeded in her misson or not forms the rest of the story. Here, what I like very much is "Elisebeth Olsen"'s performance, she gives a very matured performance and obviously Bendict Cumberbatch's performance as well. But this film has opened lot of doors for the future of the MCU and surprised us with some heroes cameo(I dont want to reveal the names). For the marvel fans who are following the biggest frachise from the start will go berserk when the characters are shown. But personally I expect few more charaters from x-men universe. Any way I was really thrilled to watch these characters on screen. A Kind Suggestion: These characters made me more thrilled than the character introduction of peter parkers(tobey's and andrew's) in No Way Home. Thats because I avoided seeing the n-number of youtube channels who gives whats going to happen in the movie even before the movie is getting released. And those spoilers from them really diluted our movie watching experience. For Example: If they are saying Prof.Xavier is appearing in Doctor Strange 2, then if he not appeared in the movie then our expectation will not met OR If he appeared then there is no suprise element when u r watching the movie, because u already know its going to happen. So avoid watching those channels and dont miss the surprises while watching the movie. Enjoy the movie through out... !!!

A movie can be determined as following 4 types.. 1. Good movie, good intention. 2. Bad movie, good intention. 3. Good movie, bad intention. 4. Bad movie, bad intention. But this movie falls into different category.. This is not good movie for sure, but their intention is misguided from good to bad. Ok, let me be clear.. When I am watching the first half movie, I thought the movie is going to say about islam ppl being framed wrongly as terrorist again and again just because they are religious.. There are lot of scene where some persons asking Irfan(Vishnu Vishal) "Are you religious?" in airport, in an interview(yes, irfan is searching a job) and he is been somehow framed into bomb blasts happened in Srilanka and in Hyderabad.. So he's been arrested for terror mastermind and treason, in the interval scene.. When I walk out after interval, me and my friends were talking abt how muslims were framed and the possible storyline we thought the movie is heading towards.. also we are quite confident some how irfan will escape from this.. But, OMG the director has different plan.. even after interval, until the pre-climax they are still finding evidences against him and emotional blackmailing him to accept/confess the so called "truth" that he is the actual mastermind(some abu bakkar blah blah blah) behind the bomb blasts.. And eventually he confess what they want and giving some names from coimbatore(jumbled cricketes name) and also he is saying that he have some plan(fake) to detonate bombs around chennai city.. but in a twist, some how he got escaped from custody.. The terrorist group find and helps irfan. Because of the torture he faced and his mother's death he joins the ISIS and helps them... and god the final twist shabbaaa... then its revealed irfan as a undercover cop(seriously i din expect that twist, cause its pathetic) and the reveal of mastermind terrorist(seriously!! that guy!!!!).. by the time the climax happens, i was like "eppa da padatha mudippinga".. The second half is a big let down.. what ever emotions and connections we made with the characters in the first half is entirely negated in second half... The message should be "terrorism has no religion"... But here the message dangerously became "Not all muslims are terrorist, there are some good muslims too"... Which I see as really very dangerous... It will still misguide ppl be it a muslim or other religious person... They also shows irfan as still a terrorist after he saves the ppl from poisonous gas, and he dies for nothing... Why did they bomb the factory even after the gas turned off?, Why they din help irfan's mother?, what is archana's role in stopping the terrorists, she suddenly comes and start attacking the terrorists just like that!!???... Logical mistakes in the stories will get hidden if the screenplay was good.. but if screenplay is bad even small logical problem will seen as a big plot hole... Its evident that they tried to create a good film with good intentions but instead it finally became bad film with bad intention unknowingly... Rating - 0/5...
