Believe it or not, there are negative reactions to ‘Doctor Strange 2’

Counting down the days before Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness releases in theaters worldwide and after sifting through all the early reviews, not all of them are as positive as Marvel fans might have hoped. As the sequel to Doctor Strange (2016), the 28th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the fifth film in Marvel’s Phase Four, Multiverse of Madness has promised to be bigger and better than previous Marvel projects, but some of the feedback is completely contradicting all prior expectations.

Skimming through Twitter, the majority of reviews are favorable and credit Cumberbatch and Olsen as the driving forces behind Sam Raimi’s sequel, but despite the hype shrouding judgment, some fans are definitive on the fact that Multiverse of Madness pales in comparison to other Marvel films. Some have called it a “disappointing entry” whereas others have labeled it “controversial” and warned that Marvel followers may be “divided” by some risky writing choices and “BIG decisions” that will “definitely spark a fire amongst fans.”

One recurring issue that Marvel has faced over the years originates with the argument that female characters are given less three-dimensional character arcs than male characters, which certainly seems to be the case when heroines like Pepper Potts and Black Widow fade into the background. Although Cumberbatch and Olsen deserve equal praise, it seems that Wanda Maximoff’s character arc could be destroying her glowing reputation as a fan favorite.

Besides the picky critiques, some feedback has blatantly bashed Multiverse of Madness‘ “paper-thin plot” and compared it to Iron Man 3 as Marvel’s most “subversive” film yet. Apparently, anyone who is “way too invested in these characters” will be met with a whole heap of disappointment, but these peeves are merely a matter of perspective.

Even though Multiverse of Madness supposedly falls short in some categories, its stylistic visuals, comedic elements and befitting score saved it from a one-way trip to the bottom of the barrel. As with many films nowadays, it starts off slow, but the action-packed craziness is worth the wait.

Maybe Raimi’s Doctor Strange sequel will be your new favorite Marvel film. Maybe it won’t. Regardless, decide for yourself when Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness lands in theaters on May 7, 2022.

‘Evil Dead Rise’ is so terrifying, it’s going to ‘knock people’s socks off’, says Sam Raimi

Evil Dead Rise is expected to release on HBO Max sometime this year, much to the delight of horror fans, and the frightening fifth installment is rumored to be almost as terrifying as 2013’s Evil Dead remake. Now, executive producer Sam Raimi is adding fuel to the fire when it comes to these rumors by describing the upcoming horror film as a “terrifying” experience to be had.

While speaking with Slash Film, Raimi touched upon the editing cuts that are being done in post-production for the movie, including several changes being made by director Lee Cronin that Raimi has yet to see — but he promises the final edition is going to fulfill horror fans’ expectations, stating:

I’ve seen a rough cut [of ‘Evil Dead Rise’], a medium fine cut, and a fine cut. There’s probably a few changes that Lee Cronin is making that I haven’t seen, but it’s great. It’s terrifying and it’s going to knock people’s socks off.

The Evil Dead franchise is one of the most memorable horror franchises of the ‘80s, with the original film written and directed by Raimi himself. The popular franchise has spawned several sequels and adaptations, many of which included franchise veteran Bruce Campbell as Ash Williams, who serves as an executive producer alongside Raimi for the newest film.

While there are surely still a few months left to go until the film’s release, folks can rest assured that there will be an abundance of blood and violence in the newest installment. In fact, a recent R rating for the movie certainly backs up Raimi’s cryptic comments. Check back here for a future release date for Evil Dead Rise.

Sam Raimi opens up about his rocky relationship with Venom in ‘Spider-Man 3’

Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2 still rank among the greatest superhero movies of all time. Director Sam Raimi perfectly captured and updated the 1960s stories, maintaining Stan Lee’s philosophy and style while adding a unique spin of his own. And then there’s 2007’s Spider-Man 3.

Tales of the tension between Raimi and the studio executives are legendary, with Avi Arad demanding that Venom be added to the movie. This left an already busy movie about Sandman and Harry Osborn becoming the new Green Goblin feeling overstuffed, though at least we got some good gifs of Tobey Maguire dancing out of it.

Now Raimi has looked back at Spider-Man 3 and explained why he didn’t want Venom in the movie. Speaking with Uproxx, he confirmed that he hasn’t seen either of the Tom Hardy movies and said:

It was really more just that I didn’t understand the character that well. It wasn’t close to my heart. The best thing I like about Stan Lee and Steve Ditko’s Spider-Man is that they made relatable characters that I understand. Even if they were confused, like Norman Osborn, they still have goodness in their heart. They want them to do the right thing, or Peter Parker. Or even J. Jonah Jameson has goodness in his heart.

When I read about Venom, which I hadn’t read as a kid, I had to catch up on it when they wanted him to be in the movie. I didn’t recognize enough humanity within that character to be able to identify with him properly. That’s really what it boils down to.

Raimi’s MCU debut Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is picking up great reviews ahead of its release this Friday, so the famed horror director may soon be tapped again by Marvel for some more work. But Raimi set tongues wagging recently when he said he’d jump at the chance to reunite with Tobey Maguire for Spider-Man 4.

Perhaps this actually happening is unlikely, though the wave of positivity shown by audiences to Tobey Maguire’s appearance in Spider-Man: No Way Home should give Sony and Marvel Studios some evidence that it’d be a hit.

But before all that will come an insanely fun-looking trip through the weirder corners of the Marvel multiverse in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which will hit theaters on May 6.

Marvel fans break their hips after realizing it’s exactly 20 years since Sam Raimi’s ‘Spider-Man’ released

Spider-Man fans have just been reminded that time is a cruel mistress. Today marks twenty years since Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man hit theaters, with Tobey Maguire’s debut as the web-slinger picking up rave reviews, bringing home an enormous box office haul, and kicking off one of the most successful franchises in cinema history.

But many fans can’t believe this film is two decades old, with the anniversary making them very aware of the cold hand of death on their shoulder:

Many have also noted the synchronicity of director Sam Raimi releasing Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness this week:

And some are simply celebrating Spider-Man being an excellent movie:


In the wake of the smash-hit Spider-Man: No Way Home, talk has begun about Raimi and Maguire reuniting to finally make Spider-Man 4. Raimi has said he’d love to do it if the opportunity presented itself, but admitted that it might be a tough sell to Sony and Marvel Studios given the popularity of Tom Holland’s Spidey.

However, with the Spider-Verse blossoming into life, audiences would almost certainly understand what was going on with the character. A movie about Maguire’s Peter Parker and Kirsten Dunst’s Mary Jane trying to live a normal domestic life (perhaps with spider-powered teenage daughter May Parker tossed into the mix) would be a great ride.

In the meantime, 2002’s Spider-Man remains a fun watch. Sure some of the effects are a little dated, but it’s got style and heart, and both go a long way.

Lady Gaga unveils her ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ single ‘Hold My Hand’

Lady Gaga has just dropped her single for Top Gun: Maverick and clearly understood the assignment. “Hold My Hand” is a thumping piano-led power ballad with major big hair vibes, with Gaga giving her impressive pipes a full workout.

Check it out for yourself:

The song is going down a storm in the comments, with a consensus building that we’ll see Lady Gaga nominated for yet another Best Original Song Oscar at the 2023 awards. At the very least, it’ll be worth sticking around for the Top Gun: Maverick credits to hear this played through a theater sound system.

Gaga herself said this was a labor of love:

The long-awaited sequel will touch down in theaters later this month after an exceptionally long gestation. The initial shoot took place way back in 2018, with it planned for release in summer 2019. Then, after some test screenings, they realized the flight sequences needed more pizzaz and went ahead with extensive reshoots.

Then COVID hit, and the movie was promptly put on the back burner for two long years. Now that wait is finally over, Tom Cruise will be rocketing back onto the big screen as Captain Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, who’s charged with training a new group of hot young pilots, with Val Kilmer’s Iceman now an Admiral overseeing the project. Expect big egos, hi-octane action, and the most ludicrously expensive death-dealing vehicles the military-industrial complex can conceive of.

Sure, this movie might be propaganda for spending billions on fighter jets that will almost certainly never be used in combat, but on the other hand, they look really cool, so who’s to say what’s good or bad?

Top Gun: Maverick hits theaters on May 27.
