"Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness" is one heck of a psychadelic and trippling experience. It is one of the most unique and different marvel movies ever.The cinematography,CGI,music,visuals,psychadelic effects and the unusual elements of horror and surprise add to the flummoxing experience. The movie has a ton of past references from the MCU,Fantastic Four,Disney and also the comics,and one could understand and enjoy those references only if they are familiar with the past timeline and have read a handful of comics.The direction of the movie is exactly what made it entirely different from a typical MCU movie experience,thanks to the director Sam Raimi who did wonders in directing the film.The story and plot of the movie however,focuses more on the character of Wanda Maximoff and Scarlet Witch,though the screentime of Strange is more than that of Wanda.Different versions of Doctor Strange from alternate realities have been explored in the movie which provides a deep insight into the multiverse and its infinite possibilites,an idea rather very untouched or not dived deep into in the previous marvel movies.The character of America Chavez has also been brought into limelight in this movie,although according to me the plot made the character develop very randomly and the film could have done better with giving more importance of the character development of Chavez,though at the end of the movie she plays an important role.Also,one thing that made a little dissapointed was the length of the movie,which could have been a bit longer since everything seemed to kinda end up in a hurry. Doctor Strange is one of the few characters tha bought me into marvel,the comics and the MCU. I still remember when in late 2015,I saw the first Doctor Strange Teaser,I had an unusual feeling of connection and vibe with the character. I had no idea of marvel or any superhero genre before. I went on exploring the MCU and watched a ton of videos and content on comics and the history of marvel characters,even bought some.When I saw the first part,I was baffled. I feel that I share a great emotional connect and resemblance with the character of Stephen Strange myself.I went on to watch all the MCU films then,and after 6 years,when this 2nd part comes out,my mind is filled with nostalgia and past references. Overally,multiverse of madness is like a LSD trip,with many unexpected turns and elements of shock and startle. The story isn't continuous with the character and does leave you with mixed emotions of confusion,excitement,astonishment,grief but trust me it would be worth of a watch.The movie is dark,trippy,surprising,and bewildering.It would be highly oversimplified to call it the best marvel movie but it is definitely the most unique and different one.
