The title makes it sound like it'll be a great complex storytelling of a film, but sadly this comes no where near the first Doctor Strange film by Scott Derickson.

This is more a Doctor Strange movie meets WandaVision movie.

Sam Raimi is given the helm, and he includes many classic Raimi scenes ala Evil Dead, including his go-to Bruce Campbell! But the writing by Michael Waldron sucked rotten eggs big time, to make the Evil Dead world bored with this one.

So many scenes dragged, and felt like would never move forward. Character-driven elements were flat and cliched, almost "Martha" like from Batman v Superman (i.e., Doc being tempted with a universe where he's with Christine, Wanda with her kids, just wasn't believable by the characters, nor the script). Creativity lacked. With a title like "Multiverse of Madness" you'd expect many (hence the meaning of "multi-") universes, but alas, they only highlight about two and a half. Characters were quite boring and one-dimentional. There were some neat tie-ins with Fox Marvel (X-Men, Fantastic Four), but didn't really go anywhere.

Bottom line: Spider-man: No Way Home did much better with the multi-verse. Bruce Campbell was the best part of this movie!!!!
