[{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'The current frenzied but calculated style of Marvel has better energy here with Sam Rami giving it all the right off balance. Perfectly done comic book, Marvel and Dr Strange feel!!! It\'s amazing how well done the digital graphics are. Cumberbatch knows how to do this so well. When I read the comics way back I thought to myself, " this could never be re-imagined in film ... but now it is.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'To woke. An upside down American flag painted on her Jacket cover by a Pride lapel pin, With her name being America and unable to fight most of the movie out of fear and weakness. Keep the woke trash outta the movies.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'FIRST: I dropped the money and was looking forward to watching it, then found out it is on disney+ for free. I felt like a sucker for a hasty purchase.\nSECOND: I expected this to pick up where Spiderman no way home left off.\nTHIRD: The movie is full of less the par CG and the great disney agenda. They have to try to normalize stuff and have not learned the lesson that they should make a movie and skip the political inserts.\nI wish I had not purchased this movie.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-2 review-rating', 'review_body': 'There was really no story to it at all.

So cheap.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Entrainment employs a process of subtle, almost subliminal indoctrination. For generations this has been used to undermine Western culture, particular through the medium of Pop Culture. The MCU countered this by, among other means, employing Progressive icons in pro-Western themes. With Multiverse of Madness they\'ve done it again. Essentially, flipping the script to reverse the entrainment.\n\nSpoiler Alert.\n\nAmerica, a person of color and the daughter with two moms, who can travel between universes is targeted by the Scarlett Witch to satisfy Wanda\'s maternal instinct and her overpowering need for love by stealing America\'s power. Doctor Strange and Dr. Palmer join forces to protect her and at a pivotal moment Doctor Strange encourages America, saying, "America, kick that witch\'s ass."\n\nAs the scene progresses, America shows the Scarlett Witch the pain she is causing to the very children she wants to love and, her eyes thus opened, she collapses into herself and then eliminates the evil that has possessed her.\n\nThis reminds me of Black Panther, in which a mythical country in Africa clearly represents the aspirations of America. The MCU movies have consistently celebrated that which inspired the American experiment. To me, Multiverse of Madness couldn\'t be more obvious and every person who believes in the American Dream should praise the effort and support them to produce more.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "If you liked the first Dr. Strange movie, you're going to be VERY disappointed by this one. The Plot is for 10 year olds, the script is weak and disjointed, the characters are reading lines that they don't believe in, the CG is cheap and obvious, the ministers are un-original and look like they've been stolen from old animated cartoons, and you can watch this crappy movie for free on Disney. Disney is ruining the Marvel franchise. Stan Lee should never have sold Marvel to Disney."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "What a great flick! Sam Raimi and the thousands of contributing artists hooked-up us old timers and gave the kids something to talk about. Awesome marvel action, fresh characters, cool tie-ins, and some good ole fashion horror suspense including Evil Dead and Carrie creepiness!\n\nSince I don't have Disney and don't have the backstory, the villain was tripping me out... in a good unsettling way; like a real villain. 100% from the performers.\n\nAwesome flow! This my favorite part about the Marvel Universe. Save drama for drama, let's see some super powers in action!\n\nRIP Canon Captain of Kamar-Taj"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-2 review-rating', 'review_body': 'The CGI provides the only real value this movie. Unless you had a Wanda Vision pay per view knowledge, you have zero back story. This movie was about Wanda - not Dr. Strange. It should have been called the Witch and the Multiverse. The cameos of the other dimensional characters were embarrassing. Professor Xavier could have kept the Scarlet Witch drooling in La La Land for a lifetime. Even America’s character background was overlooked or sacrificed in the cutting room. It was more important to show that she had two mothers rather than a snapshot of her life leading up to meeting Strange. It appears that they didn’t even know how to conclude the movie, so without story progression Strange came to the sudden revelation that America had the power to defeat the Scarlet Witch. So like the cowardly lion, she found her courage and defeated her. Several years ago the Marvel franchise appeared to be unstoppable. Now however, the franchise appears as if it is imploding within.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Weak, pathetic, white, male lead - check. No real story - check. Females are the pinnacle of what they try to pass off as a story - check. All characters make stupid decisions or stand around and do nothing while in grave peril - check. Same sex gay parents - check. Straight couple is Interracial - it is Disney so you already know what the race/gender mix is - check. Desecrating the flag with gay pride emblem - check. (The flag is upside down, which is meant to note duress, so yes, it is desecration)\nEach battle encounter between one of the most powerful heroes in the Marvel Universe and the Scarlet Witch only lasts one power exchange between them and he is defeated. He actually can\'t be bothered to even fight her while she kills everyone in the keep - he must have foreseen how pathetic Disney made him. He does not even get a major fight scene with her, only the woke versions of Captain Marvel and Captain America do. Anyway, if I wrote down every bad part of the movie, I would have to walk you through every minute of it. They should have left Dr. Strange out of it (mostly they did) and called it, "Crazy Scarlet Witch Kicks Everyone\'s Ass, Then Kills Herself". Actually, that is a way better title than the movie deserves. It should actually be, "Floating Piece of **** in Disney\'s Toilet"'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Visual effects were great. Story was also quite good. Don’t want to give anything away. If you’re following the MCU films, you need to add this to your collection. Movie didn’t disappoint. Would recommend.'}]
