10/10
Missed Opportunites
8 May 2023
White Vision? Lieutenant Trouble? Darcy? Even Captain Marvel. Well, the last actually does have a reference, but it is not what you think.

But everything that helped make WandaVision practically TV History was missing from this. That was a huge missed opportunity.

Although I did enjoy the alternates and cameos that show up in this, Those fringe characters from WandaVision could have made this great. And so I found the story highlighting The Scarlett Witch slightly disappointing.

But it is a Sam Raimi film with standard Bruce Campbell cameo, and it did include some "evil dead" elements. Not saying what those are, watch it, you'll see.

The way this affects Doctor Strange is also very interesting.

However, the resolution of this story would make any continuation of WandaVision difficult. Which was a story that deserved more.

There was magnificent imagery, and at least two Non-DC references to Starro. There was one Starro reference in Infinity wars toward the end of the fim. And so it was just fitting there were two references here.

So, I am just going to rate it 10, because I did like what was there. Mostly because of Sam Raimi's tendency to give us what we want, but not what we expect.

There were a few mind bending revelations. This film was totally off the rails very early on, and then they even packed up the rails and rolled them away. Which was mostly why I liked it.
