Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness screened for critics last night and the first reactions are mostly positive. Check out some of the reactions we rounded up!
This movie just has Sam Raimi's name written all over it. Some of the finest work he's ever done. I hope he works with Marvel Studios again!

By far the creepiest, gnarliest, zaniest, most haunting & terrifying Marvel movie, #MultiverseOfMadness definitely brings the Sam Raimi horror vibes, and I loved that about it. Danny Elfman’s music is a perfect fit for the film’s odd, mysterious tone & Elizabeth Olsen is MVP, imo pic.twitter.com/R5Ybhnd4rl

4. Sam Raimi's style shines throughout, with some uses of the camera and editing I have never seen before.

5. Surprisingly small and contained story, in a good way. This is not an "Avengers level" movie, it is a tight and well-paced story about Strange and Wanda.
#MultiverseOfMadness is a Sam Raimi movie first and an MCU movie second. The visuals are impressive, the score from Danny Elfman elevated the action scenes, and Raimi delivered on the horror elements. Olsen and Cumberbatch are excellent in this. The script is the only issue. pic.twitter.com/Ylh6O6eNkY

#DoctorStrange in the #MultiverseOfMadness is MARVEL AT THEIR BEST. Sam Raimi delivers a fast paced superhero horror with DAZZLING visuals and magical moments fans will remember FOREVER.

Potentially just witnessed the most insane second act for any Marvel movie. #MultiverseOfMadness is a visually mind-bending, visceral, flat out THRILLING movie. Dare I say it’s maybe the MCU’s most violent film? Happy to report as well this has Raimi’s footprint ALL over it. 9/10 pic.twitter.com/PcSzEyHP0i

#DoctorStrange: MARVEL MADE A HORROR MOVIE! It's weird, scary and earns the title "Multiverse of Madness." If you were at all concerned this movie wouldn't feel Sam Raimi enough, fear not! I can't imagine a more Sam Raimi MCU film. My genre loving heart is bursting right now. pic.twitter.com/9we5vMpXhy
