Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness movie review

I can't contain the excitement when I saw Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness especially when I saw it on IMAX. It is a surreal experience since IMAX has been not around in the last 2 years and it definitely gives a unique viewing experience for movies like Doctor Strange.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness connects the story to Wanda, the powerful sorceress that uses the Darkhold to control the reality. It also opened up the portals to different universes that introduces us to different versions of our characters, and makes us think about alternate realities aside from what we're living in.

Speaking of which, previous Marvel series like WandaVision and What If...? and Spider-man No Way Home are must watch for you to understand the spirals of the new Doctor Strange movie. From the title itself, you would like to expect something but it gives you better material. Focusing on 3 main characters -- Doctor Strange, Wanda and new character America Chavez, this movie is already marvelous. Adding a special surprise called the Illuminati, we're about to see the exciting merging of various franchises in the whole Marvel Cinematic Universe -- something that most fans are really praying about. So should we be expecting more crossovers in the future? We hope so.

It is also a very emotional chapter for Wanda/Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen). Being a mother that was ripped off her loved ones over the last years starting with Pietro up to her kids, it really is a heartbreaking story. But we'll never know if this is the end of her narrative, and I'd love to see her more.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is currently playing in theaters and on IMAX. Go see it.

Our hearts are happy this Valentine's Day as Marvel released the official trailer for the next highly-anticipated movie: Doctor Strange In the Multiverse of Madness. The official poster also released an hour after the trailer gives a few hints to eagle eyes for some Easter eggs.

Shards of glass from the broken window gives pieces of different characters of Doctor Strange, Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen), Wong (Benedict Wong), and Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor).

The trailer also gives away more exciting eggs especially now that we've unleashed the Multiverse, thanks to Spider-Man: No Way Home.

The trailer even gave away much more surprises that were previously established in WandaVision and What If...? Like the evil Doctor Strange, Wanda's alteregos, zombies and Shuma-Gorath. The most exciting is at the last part where we're hinting Patrick Stewart's Professor X will be in the movie. I think the Sony franchises are slowly appearing in the MCU.

Spider-Man: No Way Home - multi-excitement

After delaying for almost 2 weeks and avoiding detailed spoilers, I finally got to see Spider-Man: No Way Home in theaters. It is worth the wait especially for Spider-Man fans of the Tom Holland starrer movie franchise.

The story picks up after the death of Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal) and revealing that Peter Parker (Holland) is indeed Spider-Man to the public. In this chaotic bout, he asks Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) to undo the incident unknowingly revealing a more intense merger of different universes they have never experienced before.

Spider-Man: No Way Home is a beautiful mix of action and emotions that gives audiences more than what they deserve. We will also meet a more matured Peter Parker that it's hard for us to let go. There will definitely be a lot of surprises which we all asked for, and the whole Spider-man multiverse is well-acknowledged. Since the release of trailer, the movie resolved major issues and gave us good closure.

Filipinos get a special shoutout that adds a comic relief to the movie. Give love to MJ (Zendaya) and Ned (Jason Batalon) as their roles are not just for sidekicks and love interest. They have played a vital role in Peter Parker's life and it would be sad that they will part ways.

The premiere night was attended by Spider-Man fans and also celebrities like James Younghusband and Michael V. Everyone posed with Spider-Man cosplayers and Doctor Octopus before entering the theater.

THE GRINCH movie review

Illumination's The Grinch provides a heartwarming story on how you will look at Christmas again.

With the amazing animation of Dr. Seuss' classic, The Grinch submits great visual and songs that give a festive glow on each child's faces and to their parents. A perfect holiday movie that you will love and inspire you on why Christmas has the way to give everyone joy.

Dr. Seuss also gave Mr. Grinch (voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch) a backstory on why he hated Christmas so much and developed a sequence to understand him. He made the Grinch a lovable character with shortcomings and issues but deep inside has a pure heart.

Watch The Grinch only in cinemas this November 28. Directed by Ron Howard under Illumination.
