Dad's Preview:
I am not a fan of Multivere crap, however, this is one
of the most successful super-hero films on that topic,
and that is saying something. Sure, it's over-stuffed
with CGI, yet what Marvel movie isn't these days. What I
liked was the flick's foray into horror, as an evil Dr.
Strange is resurrected, and becomes a very useful
zombie. There is definitely a macabre feel and I
attribute that to director Sam Raimi, the mastermind
behind the Evil Dead films. I even liked the
descent of Wanda into madness - it works and does create
a compelling character. As yet another Marvel entry,
it's very watchable, and stands above many of the later
attempts from that super studio. |
