BLERD AT THE MOVIES
REVISITED #1: "Marvel Studios' Doctor Strange" Brought Magic and the Multiverse to the MCU First5/7/2022 Marvel's current interest in the multiverse was five years in the making, thanks to director Scott Derrickson's take on the Sorcerer Supreme. Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Stephen Strange in Marvel Studios' Doctor Strange (Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures and Marvel Studios | 2016) Welcome to REVISITED, where I return to movies I either haven't seen in awhile or forgot that I even watched. (Pretty much what's advertised on the tin, you know?) In the inaugural edition, I look back at 2016's Doctor Strange, just in time for this month's Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Here, I discuss Stephen Strange's character arc, the movie's treatment of life and death, how I'm feeling going into Multiverse of Madness, and more. AUTHOR'S NOTE The following post contains spoilers for Doctor Strange.
Although I imagine most of you have seen this movie once or five times before, I don't wanna be a jerk and not warn you about the spoilers, especially if you haven't seen the movie beforehand. So, if you haven't seen it, I recommend bookmarking this post, watching the movie, and coming back once you're done.

Boasting dazzling special effects, impressive action, and a powerful performance from Simu Liu, the MCU's newest Avenger makes a great first impression. Simu Liu as Shang-Chi in Marvel Studios' Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (Courtesy of Marvel Studios and Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures | 2021) Welcome back to (At Home With) Blerd at the Movies, where I share what movies I've been watching while social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Once again, I ventured to the local theater once more to see yet another highly anticipated Marvel film, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
Believe it or not, this is the 24th entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and director Destin Daniel Cretton (Just Mercy) managed to do the impossible with his first foray into franchise filmmaking: prove there's still magic, mystery, and joy to be had as the MCU continues to expand. |
