After a first half-tone episode, Marvel's sorcerer struggled to find his place in a universe already filled with superheroes of all kinds. Phase 4 of the MCU is driven by the monstrous success ofSpider-Man: No Way HomeIt was normal to surf the wave of the multiverse and highlight a much more complex and interesting character than it seems.
A nuclear battery in the camera
Originally planned to be placed before the weaver's last adventure, the film was set off by its director, Scott Derrickson, officially for « creative disputes » (a nice way to say that he didn't have a say and that he slammed the studio door). Let's face it, we don't lose at the change (far from there) because Kevin Feige decides to call the awesome Sam Raimi to replace the director behindSinister.
Sam Raimi, for the anchors of the bottom of the class, is the director trained in the scramble and system D ofEvil Dead, cult horror movie known for its ever-seen camera movements (especially for a movie shot on weekends between buddies) that will pay Raimi his ticket to Hollywood. FollowDead on the grid(written by the Coen brothers),Evil Dead 2(a suite/remake of the 1st),Darkman(1st incursion into the superheroic genus),Evil Dead 3: The Dark Armyand the westernDead or alive, the thrillerA simple plan, sports filmFor the love of the gamewith Kevin Costner orIntuition, formidable drama tinted with terror with Cate Blanchett and Keanu Reeves.
But his greatest successes will undoubtedly be the founding trilogy ofSpider-Manwith Tobey Maguire, the perfect mix between the blockbuster and the comic book where each plan looks like it comes out of a box of Dikto, Romita or Buscema.
So it was time Raimi returned to business (his last film,The fantastic world of Oz, date of 2013) and well took him so muchDr. Strangeranks without worries in the top of the MCU basket.
Travel to the centre of madness
Stephen Strange, who has nightmares, saves a young girl chased by a demon. This one, named America Chavez, has the power to travel in the multiverse. Strange, to protect her, appeals to Wanda Maximoff, who has been alive since the Westview incident... And we will not say any more so as not to reveal too much intrigue and preserve the few surprises that emanate from a certainly marked scenario, but how playful for a Sam Raimi who seems to burst like a little fool.
The Gargantos attack along the buildings irreparably returns to Octopus inSpider-Man 2, a horrific sequence within a temple reminds usEvil Dead 2and his stuffing spirits, not to mention the mandatory cameo of his fetish actor Bruce Campbell.
Don't expect a complete overhaul of the MCU, but the promotional campaign, though intense, has had the good idea of preserving many surprises that will not fail to ejaculate the geek that sleeps in you. Moreover, the horrific side is fully assumed and you will not fail to meet zombie, glaucous atmosphere and jump scare. Dear little blondes, expect to be surprised!
« Are you breaking the rules and becoming a hero? When I do, I become the enemy... I don't think that's normal. »
As for the characters, Stephen Strange takes on fabric and his arrogant side is damaged by a series of failures, especially in his private life. Young Xochitl Gomez camps a convincing America Chavez but Elizabeth Olsen, who steals the star from the rest of the casting, offers her character an excellent continuation and conclusion to the seriesWandaVision(must be seen before the film).
Martin Scorsese said that Marvel movies were more of an attraction than a movie. In itself, he is not entirely wrong. But when we have a Sam Raimi in shape, we'll put a little piece back in order to do a ride again, right?
