Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness 3D Movie Review

3D

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness not only has the best 3D in any Marvel movie, it's probably has the best 3D in the modern era. Doctor Strange 2 has incredible depth, and a great amount of pop-outs. The 3D in this movie is far deeper than what is normally seen in other modern 3D conversions. Not only does the depth look great, there is zero eye strain. There are several highlights that really showcase the 3D effects like: the eyeball scene, the various weather scenes, the music magic  scene, the multiversal jumps, and the scenes with the Illuminati. To say anymore would be major spoilers. The 3D in this film is stellar from beginning to the post credit scene. Speaking of which that post credit is one of the funniest since Ferris Bueller's Day Off. How the camera is presented also works to enhance the 3D effects. Like the first Doctor Strange movie, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is a must see in 3D. 

Final Verdict: Great 3D , Editors Choice

Movie

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is a straight up horror movie, more than it is another MCU super-hero flick. This is a lot more Sam Raimi Evil Dead / Army Of Darkness than Sam Raimi Spider-man, and I am so here for it. I really need to warn people that the imagery, gore and violence really push the PG-13 rating. Small children and the squeamish might have nightmares after seeing this movie. 


Even though, the ad campaign spoiled some aspects of this movie we still have plenty of surprises. The movie pretty much gets right to it, and it barely recaps the previous events in the MCU . Doctor Strange does a good amount of exposition. Multiverse of Madness basically is the fifth chapter of the Strange's saga (Doctor Strange , Avengers Infinity War / Avengers End Game / Spider-Man No Way Home and this movie), and it assumes that you have seen everything else beforehand. Depending on your interpretation of the events of Spiderman: No Way Home and WandaVision you might have issues with some of the plotting and storyline of this movie. If you haven't seen that content, you'll be able to follow the story with the smart exposition dumps giving you the necessary character development and background. Multiverse of Madness moves at a break neck pace never slowing down to give you a chance to process what you just saw. That really helps keeping the fear factor up during the movie but it’s a little much m. The movies sense of humor here and it breaks the tension. 


Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is one fascinating frightening fun film. It’s a little too fast paced,  but overall Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is one great superhero movie.

Final Verdict: 8/10

Spider-Man No Way Home

3D Movie Review

Written By:  Jacob “ New Jake” Scarberry

3D

I had high expectations for the 3D aspect of Spider-Man No Way Home. Sadly, this movie didn't deliver the marvelous 3D that I was hoping for. While filled to the brim with depth, there are some missed opportunities for the 3D to really pop out. I believe that the way the film was lit and shot contributed to the less than spectacular 3D. Several scenes are shot indoors with handheld cameras and those confined scenes really muted the 3D. Along with a more subdued color palette the 3D in this movie just pales in comparison to the 3D in previous Spider-Man films in the series. That being said, when there are pop-outs, they do wow the audience fully. Spider-Man No Way Home should of had more of those awesome pop out 3D moments. The 3D highlights include: the Dr. Strange/Spider-Man mirror dimension battle, an action scene in a condo, the highway battle, and finally the terrific credits sequence with the hand drawn art style. Overall I can recommend the 3D aspect of Spider-Man No Way Home, but I just wish that it was stronger. 

Final Verdict: Good 3D

Movie

Editor's Note:

As of this writing, I have yet to watch the following Disney Plus TV shows: Loki, What If ?, and Hawkeye. I just thought that people should know this before I go into this spoiler free review of Spider-Man No Way Home.

Spider-Man No Way Home literally picks up from the end of the previous film (Far From Home). The film starts with Spider-Man's secret identity being outed by J. Jonah Jameson via a recorded video from Mysterio. Peter Parker's life has become even more complicated now that everyone knows that he is Spider-Man. Peter Parker is hounded by everyone. Peter Parker just wants his life to go back to how it was before that damning video. Peter visits Doctor Strange as a last resort to fix everything. Dr. Strange uses his power and some ancient runes, to cast a spell, to make everyone forget that Peter Parker is Spider-Man. Unfortunately, the spell is unstable, and trouble brews for Spider-Man when Dr. Otto Octavius has arrives from another universe, confused as to why the Peter Parker isn't the Peter Parker that he knows. More trouble brews when more and more villains from other universes arrive, and they are all ready to get revenge on Spider-Man. Now Spider-Man must use his unique skill set, along with the help of Dr. Strange, MJ and Ned, to set things right and save the world as he knows it.

Expectations were high for Spider-Man No Way Home after the fairly shocking ending of Far From Home. The hype for this movie skyrocketed after hundreds of millions viewed the first trailer for this movie, and they were shocked with the introduction of the multiverse into the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the consequences that would ensue. The possibilities were truly endless. Could the expectations ever truly be met, or are the goals too lofty for this film to be realistically met? I am happy to state that Spider-Man No Way Home delivers.  I am truly at a fever pitch of fan excitement of what will happen next in the Marvel cinematic universe. The cast of No Way Home is truly fantastic. Holland is exceeding his performances of the previous Home films, giving us a darker and deeper Peter Parker than we ever had gotten before. Zendaya also shines as MJ, also keeping the same wit and sarcasm as before, but also layered with anxieties of her world falling apart. Alfred Molina's Doc Ock hasn't skipped a beat, nor has Willem Dafoe as Norman Osborn. Even the "lesser" villains from other Spider-Man films are given their dues and deliver some good work. Jon Watts also directs this film with a deft hand, capable of mixing up the heroics of Spider-Man, along with the humor within this trilogy and the dramatic heft. While not as stylish as Sam Raimi's takes, or as serious and dark as Webb's films were, Watts makes the trilogy his own, giving us the best Spidey live-action movies, ever. The screenplay is also unafraid with it's ideas and themes, and it goes to some dark and interesting places. It's unfortunate that several characters are given the short end of the stick. While the film clocks in at 148 minutes, I wish the film was even longer to accommodate the other villains and help the film flesh out other story beats. I hope there is gonna be an extended cut of this movie on Blu-Ray, or some deleted scenes to give us a more complete version of this story. Everything else, with the fantastic CGI (That de-aging is on point!), quality score by Michael Giacchino, great sets and costumes and some terrific sound design, make this world feel more alive and it screams "big budget blockbuster". The Marvel Cinematic Universe has another great Spider-Man film in No Way Home . 

 

Overall, Spider-Man No Way Home met and at points exceeded my high expectations. This is a fun and emotional journey that delivered on what it promised, and while it isn't the best Spider-Man film in my opinion (Into the SpiderVerse is truly outstanding, and Homecoming is just a joyous great time), this will be a legendary film in the grand scheme of comic book cinema, and it will be talked about for years to come. 

Final Verdict: 8/10

Ant-Man and the Wasp

3D Movie Review

3D

 

Depth based 3D is the main star of this show and it works well for this movie. The depth gives the viewer a greater sense of scale which is an important factor for a movie where the main characters can shrink and or become gigantic. Pop out 3D is rarely used within this movie. One car chase toward the end of the movie looks especially strong in 3D. Other CGI scenes in the quantum realm also look very nice in 3D. The 3D aspect is always present but not always apparent and in many scenes it’s fairly subtle. One interesting use of the 3D is how they present the character of the Wasp when she is flying around in a miniature state. It appears that the wasp character is in a different layer of 3D and doesn’t easily blend in with the background. Many people may not catch this detail, but I did and found it to be ingenious. I imagine watching this movie in 2D it might be difficult at times to see the Wasp buzz around because she might blend in with elements of the background. The 3D never wows the audience but it’s a nice visual enhancement and I can recommend it.

 

Final Verdict: Good 3D 

Movie

 

 Ant-Man and the Wasp is the direct sequel to the 2015 Ant-Man movie but in many ways this movie is also a mini sequel to Captain America Civil War. For anyone wondering this movie takes place shortly before the events of Avengers Infinity War but is relatively self-contained. Ant-Man (Scott Lang) is in house arrest after being caught fighting with the Avengers. Dr. Hank Pym has needs the assistance of Scott Lang in getting a specialized quantum part to help him in a personal mission within the quantum realm. A villain called Ghost wants the specialized quantum part and attempts to intercept it from Dr. Pym, Ant-Man and the Wasp. The movie has a secondary villain which is a gangster that wants to use Hank Pym’s advanced technology for his shady purposes . Another antagonist is the FBI which is keeping track on Scott Lang and wants to make sure he stays at home. The movie has allot of things happen at the same time .


Easily the best aspect of the movie is the comedic element . I haven’t laughed this often or this hard in years. The jokes and comedic elements feel natural because of the excellent dialogue, writing, and excellent character moments. The comedic aspect is interwoven brilliantly into the action scenes. Speaking of which I found the action scenes to be very well executed and clever . The movie fully utilized the micro / macro element of the characters and scenario. The original Ant-Man movie was a very funny movie but I thought this movie was funnier.


Sadly the plot is the weakest aspect of the movie. The movie juggles many story aspects and sadly drops the ball on a few key plot points. The idea behind the ghost villain is intriguing but the execution of this character is fairly generic and underwhelming. The secondary villain is poorly acted and is mostly frivolous. The FBI element is a somewhat fun game of cat and mouse.  Will they or won’t they catch Scott Lang this time ? The FBI dynamic is cute at first but they over do it. The movie is overstuffed with too many characters and unnecessary subplots that are underdeveloped and simply not needed.


Overall I really enjoyed the movie despite its flaws. The comedic aspect and action are superb . The story sadly falls apart and is subpar.

 

Final Verdict: 7/10
