Dean (6927 KP) rated Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022) in Movies
May 9, 2022 (Updated May 23, 2022)
Horror elements (2 more)
Some unexpected cameos
Great action scenes
Probably need to see Wanda Vision series to understand it more (1 more)
Main plot line isn't that great
Something a little different
Well after Spider-Man No way home I had very high hopes for this and really enjoyed the first Dr Strange film.
Following closely on from No way home as more about the multi verse is discovered. With Sam Raimi directing there are some nice Horror theme touches throughout the film. So making this a bit different to the normal Marvel fare. I was a bit surprised at the plot direction of the main story, having not seen Wanda Vision series. I imagine that would fill in a lot of gaps before seeing this. There are plenty of nice surprises through the various Multiverses.
Still it has amazing visuals and action scenes as you expect from Marvel filling out the blockbuster standard you expect. Definitely one to see on the big screen.

Much better than most of the Friday the 13th films
Slasher fan heaven
A pretty cool hack'n'slash film. Almost tongue in cheek at times, it could almost be a spoof of both series of films. The effects are cool and there is plenty of blood for gore fans. Nice to see a recent film starring these two cult film characters giving the fans what they like.

Good Cgi (2 more)
Fight choreography
Great Actors
All style and no substance
Another film that is struck down by the video game to big screen curse. Despite the budget, great cast and good special effects I just found the story uninteresting. I've not played the games, so can't comment how true to them it is. Shame as it had great potential. A nice looking film but without any depth to it.

Cool cast (1 more)
Some good genre jokes
Fun film for Slasher fans
A decent offering as far as recent Slasher films go. The cast is cool and clearly had fun. A nice idea of being put in to an 80's Slasher film and having to survive. Leans a bit more towards the comedy zone though for hard-core fans. Also check out @Midnight Movie (2008) which was good.

Good ... but the book is better
I read the book first so the movie had a lot to live up to in my opinion and just couldn't quite do it. It is nice to have a Christian based movie in the theaters. But a movie just about God's grace and the trinity is a huge undertaking. That being said, it was well done and I'd watch it again.

Matt Damon is great (2 more)
Quite a heartwarming film that will have you routing for him
Good Sfx for the spaceship
A quality film
I did worry that this film about being stranded and left behind on Mars would be slow and boring. I need not have worried. It has some nice light hearted moments and is quite funny at times. Matt Damon gives an awesome performance that will have you willing him on.

Nice character design (2 more)
Fun story
Plenty of humour for adults as well
Warm & fuzzy animation
A bright, colourful animated film with some funny characters. The story is ok and there is plenty to keep the older generation amused as well. Personally for me it's not as good as @Toy Story (1995) and a few other Pixar films.

Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated Stirred in Books
May 7, 2019
this is the first book by this author that ive read. The cover and the book title dont seem to match the story, but the story is well written. The book can be a little hard to read read in places but stick with it cause it is a good read. The characters were very interesting and the cartoons were a nice touch to the book.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2658 KP) rated Key Lime Pie Murder (Hannah Swensen, #9) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
The Tri-County fair is in full swing and Hannah is acting as judge in the baked goods contest. But when her fellow judge is murdered, Hannah begins digging for clues. It's always nice to see these characters again. Hannah did get on my nerves when she wouldn't share clues with the police, however.
