The hospital scene isn't more horror -- it's superbly choreographed is all. Wanda breaking her bones to climb out of the gong reflection is just as horrific, but it doesn't have the precision of a ballet or Hong Kong kung fu fight like the hospital scene.
If it was rated R I would have expected much more for it to be earned. It works well as stretching a PG-13 rating.
That is a lessor rip from The Ring. We've seen that stuff a million times, done much more effectively.
Raimi's never seen a Dutch angle he didn't like has he? What a mess of a movie. Did not enjoy it at all 😬
I think the movie did a fair job of stretching the pg13 I mean shit it's a step on the right direction to more darker marvel comics i still have no idea how there gonna do deadpool
Just got back from watching this movie. Wow, did it go places. For one, really pushing the power creep here. It's just crazy how strong Wanda as the Scarlet Witch gets. I couldn't believe she handily defeated that one universe's heroes one by one in such brutal ways. I felt it was fitting that the only way Wanda would lose her will to get what she can't have and accept things as they are would be to see what happens when she tries to invade another dimension where she exists. Being seen as a crazed monster harming the other mom just makes it clear she doesn't belong.
That after-credits though. Strange can't control this power. But now he suddenly can. And literally who?

Is their anything in MoM that is that effective or intense as that scene or memorable? Nah.
I liked this a lot more than expected l. It definitely felt like 90s Raimi and 00s Raimi stole a much more boring MCU film and shot hit own version and those were probably the best parts of the film, maybe of anything I can remember of the MCU in a good long while
The actual scary shit from the Raimi Spider-Man movies was the fact Green Goblin had grenades that just turned people into skeletons
Loved all the horror elements and Scarlett absolutely destroying the illuminati in gory fashion.
Everything else was by the book Marvel formula. Corny dialogue and flat humor.

Wanda's basically always been at *the* top of the list in terms of power. In Infinity War we saw her single-handedly destroy an Infinity Stone and hold off 5-Infinity Stone Thanos simultaneously.
most of the Illuminati fight was a fun throwaway seeing the heros get sauced but Peggy really hurt, man
I don't tend to listen to critics or review for movies or games. I saw all the mix reactions to this movie and as someone that watches everything MCU I started to get nervous that the movie was bad.
Glad I walked out loving the movie way more than I thought I would. At this point I think most people who don't like this movie are ones who got turned off by the tone shift style Raimi brings or are at a point where the MCU is just not clicking with them post Endgame.
I've been waiting for Marvel to finally get more comic booky with these stories now that Thanos is gone. Give me multiverses, magic and all things fun about the genre. I'm done with trying to make these stories feel like they can happen in the real world some what. Give me Secret Wars!

Comic Wanda can rewrite reality. This Wanda is only just now scratching the surface of what she could theoretically do. they've had the leash on her till now, and to be fair the comics often times go through different ways of explaining why characters really don't unleash their full potential, which is a particular thing with mutants considering some of them are fundamentally so powerful that they'd be world destroyers if they were really allowed to be written to the level that their powers could go to when fully unleashed.
Just saw it. Loved it! I can't believe an ABC Inhuman's character appeared in the MCU before Daisy Johnson. Love the Xmen themesong when Xavier appeared.
What happened to the rumours that Tom Cruise was playing Tony Stark??

I was expecting an "inverted House of M" moment here, or something like that, with Wanda doing the opposite she did in the comics (instead of making most of the mutant population lose powers, have part of the Earth population become mutants or something like that, to start the X-Men in the MCU).
But the movie didn't go for that and it was great anyway.
The Reed/Black Bolt stuff is 100% Comic Reed Richards lol. They nailed the character, that's exactly what he would have done there. Wonder if Krasinski is coming back, if he does, he will probably lose the beard for the first movie to look younger.
I didn't get how other universes Wanda's had kids. They also created them? That was not clear in the movie.

Seemingly just rumors. He visited set because he was shooting M:I in London. Maybe he was conceptually in there as superior iron man at some point during scripting because the Ultron droids were but who knows if they ever even talked about to.
They are her actual kids. Our Wanda created them in her universe in WandaVision after seeing them in her dreams (since dreams are glimpses to other universes in MCU).
My understanding is the kids really existed in those other universes, we just don't know who the father is it could be vision or someone else.
YES. I couldn't make my MCU rewatch this time around, but I'm doing this sometime next week because I need to watch this film at a movie theater again. I think No Way Home is an S tier MCU film while Multiverse of Madness is an A tier, but this is the first time since the pandemic started that I really felt the urge to venture myself into a second viewing at a movie theater since the pandemic starte.
Really liked this, I've been pretty down on the MCU for pretty much all of 2021 but this was great. Hoping this continues with Thor 4.
report back with what they use for the smell portion... guessing the pizza balls but if theyre brutal it could be blood 😬
I'm astonished like Feige not only owned that but made it look kinda cool. I'm ready for the Inhumans to actually be made cool if Feige chooses to, and I absolutely hate the Inhumans thanks to Perlmutter.
I real liked the Sam Raiminess of it all, but disliked most everything else. Whole thing just felt an exhausting rollercoaster between set pieces. Could've used more moments between the characters.
I don't think anyone can call Wanda an Avenger after this.

One of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' writers reveals their thinking in not including Kang the Conqueror in the MCU sequel.

They thought about bringing in Kang, but felt the movie would be overstuffed

I was legit worried when Wanda sent Palmer and Strange to another multiverse like oof that is going to drag out the film. But it worked surprisingly.
That's why we still need a beginning to end Sam Rami controlled MCU 3 movie deal.
So does this movie improve people's opinions on how the overall storyline from wandavision played out now that we have the followup?
One of my things was I felt Wanda was treated too sympathetically at times in the ending episode. Well with what happened here it feels like they course corrected a bit on that lol, she really is menacing and a threat

Honestly though, of all the Marvel TV stuff to reference, I don't think anybody is a fan of the Inhumans show right?
The show that had... this?
Just got home. Initial reaction is that I think it's a little too stuffed, needed a longer running time to let things breathe.
There was a lot of cool stuff throughout but it felt like we never got a chance to really take them all in.

Sam Wilson is gonna show up at Strange's doorstep and ask him if he can erase Wanda from everybody's memory.
