This movie is a prime example of how MCU has been going downhill since Endgame/Wandavision.

The story is quite weak and underwhelming and lacks the emotional depth that we used to get in most of the MCU movies.

Too many unlikable and obnoxious characters on the good side including Dr. Strange whereas the purported villain, (spoiler) might be on the wrong side and succumbs to evil and destruction but has the strongest character arc and frankly is the only character I was rooting for despite the malicious nature of the villain.

Elizabeth Olsen, who reprises the role of Wanda/Scarlet Witch, delivers a meticulous and delicate performance and easily the best part of the movie if not the only part.

The 2nd Dr. Strange movie is also inferior to the first movie on the part of the special effects that the first one absolutely nailed.

Their pathetic attempts to appease the fans with mostly unwanted cameos are simply embarrassing at this point especially just 5 months after the release of No Way Home, which honored some of the major characters the fans have grown to love in a way the fan service serves the overall story.

All in all, this movie is shallow, uninspiring and infused with trite and hackneyed themes, messages and plots that we've seen too many times before.

This movie epitomizes the death of the creativity and originality of MCU.
