The first reviews of Doctor Strange 2 have already come to light. Apparently, the new Marvel Studios movie is a masterpiece.
After the celebration of the premiere in Los Angeles, California, United States)we already have here the first reviews of Doc Strange 2. The new movie of Marvel Studios promises to be one of the great events of the year. This sequel to Sorcerer Supreme will lay the foundations for what is to come in the coming years and will take a multiversal leap that will follow in the footsteps of Spider-Man: No Way Home. This is what the specialized critics are saying about the long-awaited premiere.
Erik Davis (Fandango): “By far the creepiest, twisted, craziest, most disturbing and terrifying movie from Marvel Studios. Doctor Strange 2 has all the Sam Raimi horror vibes and I loved that. Danny Elfman’s music fits perfectly with the mysterious tone of the film. Elizabeth Olsen is the MVP. What I enjoyed the most was the ambition of the film. How well balanced it is, how it moves between the lightness of humor and the evil of everything. That’s where Sam Raimi has really had fun. Ultimately, it’s a movie about being drawn into the darkness and fighting to keep it from engulfing us.”
Jena Anderson (Comic Book): «Doctor Strange 2 is amazing. It’s imaginative, truly bizarre, and absolutely hilarious to watch. I didn’t realize how much the MCU needed something like this.”
Liam Crowley (The Direct): «Doctor Strange 2 throws a lot of things against the wall. Some things get it right, like the surprisingly simple narrative; others fail, mainly the CGI. Elizabeth Olsen is stunning, but my favorite rock star is Xóchitl Gómez. Benedict Cumberbatch truly feels like the anchor of the MCU at all times. It’s not a perfect movie, but it’s a worthwhile experience.”
Eric Italiano (BroBible): “Doctor Strange 2 feels as much a Sam Raimi movie as it does a day in the life of Doctor Strange. It is the UCM formula taken to its maximum expression. Despite the implications and revelations of the multiversal franchise, the film is very self-contained, focusing on its own story and its own style. Doctor Strange 2 does an amazing job of understanding what makes Doctor Strange so great, and capitalizing on those strengths and weaknesses in terms of visuals, plots, and themes. Classic MCU elements are mixed with superhero sequel arcs and horror movie tropes.”
“I did not know that the MCU needed this so much until I saw it,” says the critic about the new Sorcerer Supreme movie
Germain LussierGizmodo: «Doctor Strange 2 is the strangest and most disgusting Marvel Studios movie to date. It feels tremendously disjointed, partly on purpose, so it doesn’t always work. But the horror and especially Wanda Maximoff work amazingly well. Also… wow. There are great surprises.”
Kevin Polowy (Yahoo Entertainment): «Doctor Strange 2 is absolutely insane. A real madness. Hardcore fans are going to be upset. The most casual will say ‘wtf what am I seeing’. But no one will deny that it is Sam Raimi in all his glory. Elizabeth Olsen takes the film from start to finish.”
Courtney HowardVariety: “Doctor Strange 2 is packed with huge, entertaining sequences, driven weight of characters, and extraordinary, kaleidoscopic, drug-addicted visuals. Xóchitl Gómez steals many scenes. Elizabeth Olsen appropriates them. Benedict Cumberbatch is superb. It works as a good entry point for horror beginners. He has the signature of Sam Raimi ».
Siddhant Adlakha (The New York Times): “Doctor Strange 2 is deliciously stupid. A nice surprise: the best and funniest parts of the movie are definitely all Sam Raimi.”
Perri Nemiroff (Collider): “Marvel has made a horror movie! It’s weird, it’s terrifying, and it more than earns its title. If you were worried that this movie didn’t feel Sam Raimi enough, don’t worry! I can’t imagine a MCU movie plus Sam Raimi. My genre-loving heart is about to burst right now.”
Paul McGuire Grimes (independent film critic): “Marvel has done a great turn with Doctor Strange 2. Elizabeth Olsen delivers more than enough and Sam Raimi has his stamp all over it. However, it is a disjointed and chaotic journey.
Sean P Means (The Salt Lake Tribune): “I like that Marvel Studios is hiring directors to make their movies. Where it didn’t work very well there with Chloé Zhao in The Eternals, it works wonderfully well with Sam Raimi here. It’s a great mix between Marvel Studios and horror movies.”
