I think the core idea of this phase of the MCU is fundamentally flawed - that is "the multiverse of madness". Building good stories for this phase is next to impossible because the basic premise is so chaotic. So, it's not entirely surprising that the whole story line in Doctor Strange 2 is bad, but I didn't expect it to be this terrible.

I won't spoil anything but I will say that the plot hole in this one are more numerous than the jumps between alternate universes and bigger than Doctor Strange's ego. The actors generally do a good jobb and the directing is fine. I am disappointed that America Chavez as one of the lead characters is basically a MacGuffin that doesn't get any character development and even less relevance to the progression of the story (except for just existing).

The movie focuses on Wanda and Doctor Strange but their stories aren't good - in particular Wanda's that is a mess of contradictions.

The only reason to watch this is to follow the progression of the overall MCU plot, but I have a feeling that it's not going to be long before I'm past the point of caring about that.
