Doctor Strange in the multiverse of madness
It is difficult in a few words to describe a film that deserves a lot more. Exceeded my expectations, but in general, any nonsense to make Marvel, they have already created an extraordinary universe, a universe that just grabs you. Unusual, because unlike DC, the kings of comic series, Marvel develops their characters in depth. We meet Dr. Strange, like a simple surgeon who becomes an integral part of the universe. From the very beginning, one can notice Sam Raimi's irreplaceable handwriting. Handwriting we still know from the Spider-Man trilogy of 2002. Human emotions synchronized with the already created comic book world. Before I start looking, Dr. Strange, Here are a few things you need to know before watching the movie. "It's all connected" - a quote from the series Manifest. Starting with X-Men, to Dr. Strange. If like me, you watch reviews on YouTube, you already know a lot. Or at least you think you know them, but not them.

The usual Marvel Cliché
Marvel is not only the king in Easter eggs, but they have a well-preserved cliché for some of their larger productions. If you haven't watched most of the movies and series in the universe yet, I recommend you stop here. There will be a little spoilers from other movies, and they are worth watching. Before each presentation of a new character or his evolution in Marvel, "Romeo must die." Iron Man 3, Thor 3. The main characters suffer a turnaround in his life that kicked off the entire film scene. Dr. Strange is no different from other films. From here comes the failure of the DC. The emphasis on effects and darkness is part of their universe, but the development of the characters, their story, what makes us love them, just to feel their loss, their sadness.

The living nightmare
Yes, Dr. Strange is changing Marvel's scales in their favor. It is darker and more nightmarish. The emphasis is not so much on the effects as on the character's gaze on a larger scale. Whole Multiverses of scale. The nightmare, however, is not as fantastic as one would like though. After all, we are talking about Raimi. The nightmare of losing something dear to you, the darkness that overwhelms you from its absence, and what, a man is ready for his loved ones. Wanda Maximov played by Elizabeth Olson. Yes, another Olson. "It was the 90's. "Think again. The actress not only glorified, even more so the name of Olsеn but also played one of the most important roles in the Marvel Universe. Because they are not only important, the main characters, but also site kicks. She grew from a terrible villain to a hero. From the moment she appeared on the screen, she captivated the hearts of many fans. Not only was she created for her role, but she managed to play it to such an extent and depth that one just by watching her act simply enters another world, the world of Marvel. She is the real nightmare in Dr. Strange. The struggle of a mother, for her family.

The Illuminati: Back home
If you've read the Illuminati comics and watched carefully, previous Marvel movies, you already know a small part of the plot of the movie. "It's all connected." Raimi's handwriting never ceases to surprise us again. The combination of three universes - Fox, Sony, and Disney, gives unsurpassed results. Easter eggs hint at the film since the first Dr. Strange and finish with Spider-Man: Away from home. Here, however, the difference from comics is much more noticeable is the fact that more attention is paid to the Illuminati after the Skrull/Kree invasion. In the series, however, apparently, this will be two-pole. We first notice Cree's invasion in Spider-Man, Captain Marvel, but the invasion itself will be addressed in The Secret Invasion. However, this does not prevent the film from opening its doors to new worlds. The worlds of mutants and science. I don't mean the science we see in Iron Man, the Hulk, and so on but something more. With everything, Marvel is doing now, what awaits us in the future? What will be the end of this phase and who will be the big bad wolf? Galactus, Celestials, or Dr. Doom? Only Marvel knows. But why guess, isn't it better the moment of surprise when you guess who the bad guy is, but they manage to surprise you, over and over. And now with the doors open to the Multiverses, the boundaries are limitless.
