Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness dir. Sam Raimi (2022) An untethered kite of a film, flapping about madly with no hint of character or heart. One can imagine Benedict Cumberbatch at the advance screening, mask in place and silently chanting his fee, over and over again, as a mantra of self-appeasement.

42 Word Review: Spider-Man 3
Spider-Man 3 dir. Sam Raimi (2007) In this overlong third instalment Spiderman shrugs off impalement and collides wantonly with buildings, seemingly impervious to physical injury. The plot manoeuvers like a semi-trailer and Tobey Maguireās Peter Parker slumps to a new and excruciating nadir of teen romance slush. #Unwatchable.
