So this year I wound up seeing Dr Strange and the Multiverse of Madness
(2022) twice in the cinema, without needing to pay. I don’t go out of my
way to see Marvel movies, but I was curious about this one, because I
wanted to see what a veteran director of genre movies with a distinctive
visual sensibility would do with the most policed and marketed
cinematic property of our generation. The second time, I was interested
to see if I was wrong.
It made me sad. And even sadder the second time.
