After I learned that the director of ‘Immortal Guard’, an incredibly politically correct film even by Netflix standards, would be making the film, it became clear what the film was going to be about. Namely, a film that touches on the themes of feminism as superficially as possible, that presents the entire male species as devils and that romanticizes African culture as a super-civilization, a canvas that will make you laugh out loud with its earnestness and straightforwardness. And you know, this creation not only lived up to expectations, it surpassed them all!

The movie in the first three minutes shows the Agogji (female warriors of Dahomey) battling some dark-skinned slave traders and, what do you think? That’s right, they scatter them left and right. During the entire battle, only ONE female warrior dies (and that somewhere behind the scenes), and all the African men are scattered and humiliated. The action was simple, but damn, that looked like fun. As funny as the first few minutes were, the rest of the movie will be.

Remember that scene in ‘Black Panther’ where the warrior woman Okoye says to her husband ‘I’ll kill for Wakanda without blinking an eye’? Well, in this movie, almost ALL of the dialogue is like that phrase. Almost all the time the female warriors talk about their superiority over the men, their fearlessness against rapists and so on, so on, so on. And yes, of course, there will be themes of the slave trade, of how whites are destroying Africa with their culture, of how black men have unscrupulously sold their own to these very whites. And most importantly, all this dialogue is so straightforward, so absurd, that it’s pure pleasure to watch.

And yes, oh, the directing… How fake Dahomey looks! No coherent locations, no believable landscapes, everything is so sterile, like it’s not a movie but a play. And those incredibly cheap costumes! It feels like Numenor from the recent Rings of Power, where it also didn’t feel like there was a real state in front of me. I get it, the movie isn’t supposed to be 100% historical, but it’s not that historical.

The only thing I liked about the movie without being sarcastic was the acting of Viola Davis. She is good in any role, even manages to deliver some drama in this whole circus of the absurd. Everyone else is very unconvincing. Like all the other black multitudinous madams, all of whom are forgotten immediately, and the local T’Challa for the poor, played by John Boyega.

But honestly, I was clearly aware of what kind of movie was in store for me and even enjoyed it in a weird way. I haven’t seen such ridiculous nonsense that begs for every possible award in a long time. I even want to recommend this movie to all those who don’t take such pictures seriously, because, MY GOD, such a movie is worth seeing.

Doctor Strange: The Multiverse of Madness is a movie that forgot it was about Doctor Strange and the Multiverse. Not only does it not say anything new about it, but it also forgets everything that has been said before.

The first thing worth saying about this movie is the disgusting plot, built on a problem that has actually already been exhausted before, in the Wanda/Vision series. The motivation of the antagonist (Wanda herself) is so bad that, at times, the “villain is a villain because he’s evil” motivation seems more logical than what is presented here.

The plot is followed by the illogical mush referred to here as the plot, in which in all fights the characters attack exclusively one at a time, while the other characters only have a conditional “power” at the last moment, while the other characters watch silently, without taking any part in all this marvelous action. The characters themselves, for the most part (e.g., the Illuminati) appear here for nothing. Just to show up and show everyone that Marvel now has the rights to the X-Men, without having any effect on the so-called plot.

Doctor Strange himself, as I’ve said before, is more of a functional character in his own film, just having things going on around him, with no development whatsoever.

The so-called universes, which are explicitly referred to in the title of the film, are one… two… three? There is no madness in them at all, all the madness ends with the fact that in one universe people do not go to the green light of a traffic light (which also has a different form), but to the red one. They eat pizza not flat, but in balloons (this is shown in literally two adjacent scenes). At the same time, people in these very so-called universes of “madness” talk in English, which is familiar to everyone. In “Everything Everywhere at Once,” for example, there was much more of both universes and madness. That is why I believe that the word “madness” in the title of this film should be used in its literal meaning: “lack of intelligence.”

With all that said, this film forgets what has been told in the film universe before, whether it be the events of the last Spider-Man, the Loki series, or, the WandaVision I mentioned above.

The sets, the makeup, the graphics-except for a few moments-are all on a satisfactory level, as usual in the Marvel films. By some moments I mean the zombie makeup – this is the level of makeup from the middle of the last century.

Overall, there is no emotion left after watching the movie, neither positive, nor negative. The film is neither good nor outright bad. It is nothing, and plays more like a kind of connecting plate between nothing and nothing. However, perhaps those people who like all the other Marvel films will like this one as well.
