Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

 Multiverse of Madness:  Finally watched this one.  Lots of folks weren't enamored with it and I get it.  I think there are plenty of cool moments in the movie but the plot as a whole wasn't a hit with me.  I know where they were going but it is convoluted and I don't think it did the characters justice in the end.  I really enjoyed the original Dr. Strange and his character in the Marvel movie universe but this one was just a bit meh.  Doesn't mean I wasn't entertained but it doesn't hit the mark of the other recent Marvel films including the last Spidey offering which was great.  I talked about Wandavision yesterday and I think these two are naturals to be teamed in a movie.  Just didn't wow me.  My quick take and I always enjoy hearing what others think so let me know.

Doctor Strange Movie

Another movie I caught up with this last weekend was Doctor Strange.  This was huge when it was released last year and now I know why.  It is a very good movie.  I've always read comics and as a kid I like Dr. Strange's look but just couldn't get into his comics.  The whole magic thing can be a tough subject and it just wasn't one that I was able to wrap my head around.  Back to the movie they did this very well.  I was worried the whole movie would look like the crazy world shifting scenes you saw in the trailers and that I'd be nauseous the entire time.  Good news - I wasn't.  Marvel was able to incorporate our world and the magical realms well making it easy to watch and to comprehend.  The visuals are awesome.  The graphics can really make you believe what is happening on the screen.  And the characters are fun and easy to relate to helping you get behind this movie.  If you haven't seen this movie I say take a look.  It's on Netflix so it is easy to find.
