"If everything is not perfect in
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
, the film is nevertheless very successful and offers a dantesque spectacle which should satisfy both fans of the director of Evil Dead and those of the MCU",
explains Pierre Champleboux in
Filmsactu.
He continues:
"With a frantic pace, logic-defying camera movements and spectacular sequences, Sam Raimi signs a horror film stamped Marvel which should surprise and mark the spirits."
Pleasure shared for Olivier Delcroix of
Le Figaro
: “The director has absolutely not denied himself and even signs an auteur film.
Always impeccably embodied by Benedict Cumberbatch.

A film that will not revolutionize the blockbuster according to
Le Monde
, despite the humor and inventiveness but
“its little touch of eccentricity is good.
It reintroduces an ounce of prototyping into a production chain which until then seemed inextricably locked,”
explains Mathieu Macheret.
An observation shared by Adam Sanchez of
GQ
, who hesitates
"between brilliant flashes and deep boredom": "Neither totally disappointing nor embodied from start to finish, this super-production will once again not fail to cause a sensation in the thousands of cinema where it will be broadcast around the world.
The work of the director of
Evil Dead
is nevertheless hailed, as Sylvestre Picard asserts for
Première
,
"Sam Raimi has succeeded in imprinting his mark on the new MCU superfilm, even if he looks like a super big one on arrival. episode of Rick and Morty.”

“The film lets go of the production. Sam Raimi connects visual discoveries and striking shots with communicative pleasure”,
rejoices Thibault Liessi in
Le Dauphiné Libéré.
"There remain, in this deluge of special effects, a few moments when the director, the great Sam Raimi, manages to make his
"leg" felt
, and the beautiful performance of Elizabeth Olsen, always inspired in the role of Wanda Maximoff",
also claims Renaud Baronian from Le
Parisien
.
But for many, the plot is difficult to follow and Sami Raimi does not catch up with the script, quite the contrary...
"
Doctor Strange 2
is an opaque and violent film, full of faults but visually impressive",
writes Tanneguy de Kerpoisson in the columns of
Elle
.
Cécile Mury of
Télérama
even goes so far as to say that the film is
"all swollen with references and characters borrowed from their own related mythology, the film takes the same risk as Doctor Strange: by stacking universes, we risk crush them."
“Avid for parallel universes, ancestral prophecies and powers of all kinds, the new Marvel is an incredible bouillabaisse. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is looking more and more like a kind of leftover quiche, the kind you cook on a Sunday night by emptying all the week's tupperware into a pie pan (and guzzling over a Marvel , by the way): it's stuffy but it doesn't taste like anything anymore, there are all the ingredients except the one we wanted, ”
says Théo Ribeton of
Inrockuptibles
.
It's up to viewers to form their own opinion now.
