Convoluted contrived CGI
I've never been a big fan of the Marvel movies, but I really liked the first Doctor Strange movie. This one was just confusing and underwhelming. The movie started out in the middle of a storyline, assuming the viewer already knew certain things which made it hard to follow. The plot itself was very convoluted and contrived, and I had a hard time following along at times. When the main plot of the movie became evident, it seemed kind of silly. The villain did not really have a strong motive for her actions. The CGI was good, but there was no heart or depth to the story. An entertaining watch, but not something that's memorable or worth watching again. - Padrion - 6 May 2024
The Multiverse of Nonsense
The first Doctor Strange movie had its weak points but was still enjoyable for the most part. This one not so much. It very much feels like written by AI. The individual scenes kind of work on their own, but don't make a lot of sense when put together.
Neither Strange, nor Wanda, nor Wong behave all that believable. The worst is the character of America Chavez who is nothing more than a walking plot device. The pacing is totally off, the CGI is not the greatest either, it all feels very rushed. The whole Multiverse setting means that everything is interchangeable anyways, so why should the audience even care?
The old wisdom still holds true: Once time travel and parallel universes are introduced in an existing franchise, it is best to walk away because it gets only worse from here.
