The technical execution, just like all big budget movies, was excellent. But the story, dialogue, and script were so very very bad. Tom Holland is quite a good actor but he didn't have much to work with here.

I'm really wondering if the script was written by high school interns. The story is so weak and flounders and goes nowhere. The dialogue is silly. The characters do and say things that are completely out of character. For example, Dr Strange is not a grouchy goofball trying for laughs but in this movie that is what he does. The old Scooby-Doo shows from the 1970s were written better than this.

I'm trying to understand how this movie gets an 8.2 average rating, as it stands today. Are there really that many people that don't know the difference between cheap junk food and a gourmet meal?
