My Mini-review of DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS.

Short version: Sam Raimi’s back.

Slightly longer version: Sam Raimi hasn’t directed anything since OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL, and now I’m wondering whether I should maybe sit down to watch that after all. It’s for sure it won’t be most of a decade before Raimi directs another movie, this time. DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS is very much a Raimi joint: expect a sometimes comic take on gore, body horror, and dead people. I mention this solely because somebody was whining about this on social media, which is roughly equivalent to whining about the fact that a Kurosawa film featured swordplay. Neighbor, what were you expecting?

Anyway, fun flick if you like the idea of Sam Raimi being given a lot of money to screw around with the MCU. So, as you might imagine: I had a grand old time.
