The first Doctor Strange was much better, had a nice origin story, taking it's time to let us know the main characters and the connection between them and even some decent laughs here and there.

Multiverse of Madness however is a complete mess. Sam Raimi brings his usual team (Bruce Campbell cameo, composer Danny Elfman, make up artists) but it feels recycled and too familiar unless you're a young viewer which is not familiar with his past work.

The Story is all over the place involving woke elements, cameos which are hinting at the future of MCU and lots of cgi which might be an eye candy but gets tiresome especially in the poor last act.
