Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has arrived and the sequel has been a long time coming. Although Doctor Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) has shown up in a handful of other Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, including Thor: Ragnarok, Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame, and Spider-Man: No Way Home, it’s been nearly six years since his debut movie.

Starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Elizabeth Olsen, Benedict Wong, Xochitl Gomez, with Michael Stuhlbarg, and Rachel McAdams, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness finds the good Doctor traversing the mind-bending and dangerous alternate realities of the Multiverse to confront a mysterious new adversary with the help of mystical allies both old and new. Sam Raimi replaces Scott Derrickson as the director of the sequel, and it was great to see him back behind the camera for his first feature film since Oz the Great and Powerful back in 2013.

Our own Chris Bumbray reviewed Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness but found it wasn’t one of Marvel’s best. “Truth be told, this isn’t one of the A+ Marvel movies,” Bumbray wrote. “It’s not meant to be the epic Spider-Man [No Way Home] was, with this living up to Kevin Feige’s promise that this would be the Marvel version of a horror movie. In that vein, it succeeds at times, thanks to the inspired choice of Sam Raimi to direct. But, just like a lot of the solo MCU movies, it feels like a bridge before the next huge Marvel movie, and it gets off to a plodding start.” You can check out the rest of Bumbray’s review right here.
