From the very first scene, this felt more like a Disney Plus special or a video game than an actual movie. They attempted to bring together so many varied threads - WandaVision and What If... and subplots from the original Dr Strange that happened 6 years ago, not to mention references to other MCU properties. Following everything practically requires a glossary. In order to make that work, it feels like half this movie is exposition and the other half is forced action/dialogue with pretty low stakes. Tons of people die, but I rarely cared about them. Tons of things happen, but I rarely cared about that either. They threw so many things together, but it never quite added up.
