NON SPOILER REVIEW You have the master of the mystic arts - Doctor Strange - and then you have the master of the horror arts - Sam Raimi. This leaves us with a visually stunning movie that does indeed creep up on you at some points. Using the Scarlet Witch as the character to introduce the horror theme into the MCU was a really good idea as she seems to fit so well. There are a few jump scares here and there which provides a fresh new approach to the MCU. With meticulous cinematography, Sam Raimi does make this movie jump out at you, whether its through the use of sound or just some gruesome moments on screen, you will be gripped to your seat. With some amazing VFX and a good performance from the cast, old and new, we are left with another top of the class entry to the MCU. A final few things to note. The 'cameos' in this movie didn't pack quite the punch that I was expecting for a movie that was about the multiverse. This may be due to the limited amount of time we had with these characters but I do understand why Marvel did this because the title of the movie does have 'Doctor Strange' in it and not any other names so focusing on the main character is the main role of this movie. Another thing that I was disappointed about was the score. Don't get me wrong, Danny Elfman did a pretty good job but i just wanted to hear more of the Doctor Strange theme by Micheal Giacchino from the first movie.
