I'll cut to the chase. I was looking forward to seeing Benedict Cumberbatch unfold his many talents in this film where the theme is multiverse.

I imagined him playing different characters. I think the animation Into the Spider-Verse did it so well.

I was simply hoping for too much.

The film had a ridiculous plot line that wasn't explained enough and that wasn't engaging enough. I didn't feel invested in any of the characters. And the characters that appear briefly seemed more like a joke. We all knew their fate before it happened - it was that predictable.(spoiler alert) And they also managed to make a disappointing mess out of those special appearances. The movie was a real disappointment. I gave the movie 2 stars. 1 for Cumberbatch and one for his amazing cape.
