This film is such prolonged boring scattered MESS IF one can stay awake through to end. Waste of Cumberbatch's talent & incredulous $200 mil budget. He's NOT main character in his own film! It's more Wandavision- so THIS film should be named after her. I have NO interest in her character after her Avengers cameos.

Shame on Marvel for changing THIS Dr Strange into "The Walking Dead" horror spin off. These paid Script writers have NO sense of cohesion among the MCU characters, never saw entire 1st film, & never read 1 comic book of this popular character. Horridly dull teen lead casting & acting incl cameos. Zero charisma among cast, esp Strange & Christine who made believable "caring ex- couple" in the first Dr. Strange film.

Grand Plot: 1 Wanda in 1 universe wants to be with "kids" she has in another universe. That's it - for 2 hrs 40 min.

Despite modern fertility methods or adoption esp of 10-12 age boys, that could easily make Wanda a mom, Wanda instead does EVERYTHING ELSE in this truly waste of time $$ Disney cash grab flop.

MANY MAJOR CONS: Tilda Swanson from 1st Dr Strange as "Sorcerer Supreme" had FAR more power than now Sorcerer Supreme Wong. In clear racial bias against Asians script, here Wong has skills of a novice mystic. Wong does not even possess same type of mystic daily clothing like Mordor who wore magical boots & used magic staff- "objects pick you" Mordor explained in 1st film.

Predictable "woke " script, BAD overall writing; Here, No one needs to see yet another ethnic hybrid TEEN GIRL with ZERO charisma, no acting talent, taking up most screen time, & has character dementia in script. She's Latino Aladdin in NY & other 69 universes is same useless boring dementia suffering "pizza loving" thief.

THIS FILM is both teen (America) & Wanda's film. All acting is flat & one dimensional- zero character development, incl Strange.

NO CONTINUITY RE PRIOR MCU CHARACTERS: If Latino looking Scarlet Witch / Wanda is SO powerful, then why she didn't prevent Thanos from killing her beloved? Captain Marvel is supposedly the strongest of all heroes and female- more like a god since she can blast travel to other worlds without spacesuit. Here, Capt. Marvel's powers are omitted from all universes.

This film makes Wanda / Scarlet Witch more powerful in every universe than ALL MCU characters COMBINED !! Also, Wanda has temples, worshipers, followers, monster guardians, etc., placed in many universes, but she FORGOT ALL mighty beings, temples, weapons, all at her command until she literally runs into them while chasing teen girl.

Dr Strange follows same TEEN to 2 universes as protection. I fell asleep repeatedly bc other universes are that DULL incl script. Of course black women replace whites, so why not replace Prof X (P. Stewart) with Idris Elba who is Brit & good actor? Shazam is new Spock? Strange died fighting Thanos?

How many Thanos infinity stones events occurred? Wasn't Thanos' life long purpose of time traveling ALL the universes to take 5 "rare" infinity stones, set them in custom glove, then "reset ALL universes time to 1/4 population" causing the 5 year blip? WTH with THIS film's plot & contradicting backstory??

Can Marvel script writers have a conference call with previous writers, or at LEAST watch recent prior MCU movies with characters they're using in plot? Is anyone with common sense going to state the obvious irrationality and inconsistencies, esp DULLNESS viewers can easily see?

Here, less powerful Dr Strange can inhabit his dead body double- so why couldn't godlike Wanda do same & "be a Mom" instead of sending her monstrous "agents" to 70 universes for YRS, causing constant chaos & many deaths, chasing same dementia girl. Also, nonsensical Wanda needs to imprison, steal teen's "power" via "special ritual" using "dark power book" as reserve "universe jumper" tool. Wanda has god powers- nothing else needed.

POOR FOCUS ON FEMALES & BAD acting: This LONG boring plot "'Wanda wants to be a Mom" when she already is plot prolongs this film , stretching it to convoluted boredom. Film focuses primarily on bad acting bad scripted female characters. Strange's ex Christine, looks odd in wrong red dyed wig & enlarged bust; despite Strange's everlasting love, she loathes Strange, Christine becomes both scientist & expert fighter in mystic antiquities with NO training in Kamertage Tibet. Christine suddenly knows how to kill demons from hell @ 1st encounter, but NOT Strange nor Supreme Being Wong? So female Christine is better than Strange = political message.

Final big VIP CON: Racial BIAS against Asians of Mongloid ancestry CONTINUES: Tibet is IN CHINA, mystic arts "founded by Japanese sorcerer mighty Agamoto" per 1st Dr Strange film. Why give mystic arts an Asian, not India, history if U fail to use Asian PPL? WHY are majority of sorcerers now black or Latino, NOT any of Mongloid descent? No Native Americans, nor blondes are sorcerers in this film's Tibet.

In HOLLYWOOD films, Why no Asians actors with real lines ESPECIALLY in YRS of Disney's self proclaimed "LEADER of wokeness?"

Most VIP DISNEY: STOP DISRESPECTING real ASIAN AMERICANS in YEARS "woke leadership" role by REDUCING Asians to mere SET DECOR WITHOUT ANY lines. Westernized American Asians & THEIR $$ have SAME VALUE as other ethnicities.

Give Wong well written script, notable screen time, & more POWER esp in battles as Supreme Sorcerer, like you gave female "Celtic" Tilda. Or replace him with a better Asian actor, NOT tasteless Akwafina. 1 push & Wong is knocked out while petite females can sustain long physical battles. Wong had no battle plan either nor main aides. Tilda fought off 3 young male sorcerers with only hand fans, & she had her R hand sorcerer black Mordor. None were Asian. 1 hand Korean master sorcerer remains MUTE in both Strange films.

Tilda as "Ancient One Sorcerer Supreme", foresaw NIL re this teen girl jumping thru 70 multi universes thru YEARS, adversely affecting every world & timeline due to all deaths that followed her from Wanda. Tilda, with extra long life had "multiverse connections & oversight" that's echoed in new teen Spiderman franchise films. Yet, in THIS FILM Wong as "supreme sorcerer" has NO connections with multi verse despite him taking multi verse business trips in prior MCU films.

HORROR effects: Hey MCU execs - make Guardians of the Galaxy into "Walking Dead-" It already has strange looking characters in franchise. Return Dr Strange to his original character & purpose- refining his "science" craft & visiting different worlds like Star Trek. Dr Strange is not a horror zombie, conjuring up demon souls, nor babysitter of random teen.

What an incredible disappointment THIS sequel is to 1st Dr Strange!!!

Sadly, Disney owned Marvel & other studios continue recent tradition to focus on political propaganda , continue same racial bias, instead of focusing on entertainment = creating good film, esp story, & casting good mature actors OF EVERY ETHNICITY- not few.

Entertainment is primary reason ppl PAY to view films. Too bad ppl cannot get refund after costly ticket. If THAT were possible, studios would again focus on entertaining viewers, instead of certain political agendas. Free political rallies exist IF ppl want to witness/ voice such agendas with others.
