This film cannot be called bad, a lot of effort and money has been invested in it, the only thing that comes to mind is that the film is out of place.

Danny Elfman's classical music is out of place, in the style of "Justice League", changing to electric guitar solos in creepy moments. Out of place is a game with transitions from Sam Raimi, in the style of the "Charmed" intro titles. Too adult, perhaps even elderly topics and jokes are out of place, as if the target audience of the film is not teenagers, but women and a man over 65.

The unconditional decoration of the film was the game of Elizabeth Olsen, but even she could not correct the fact that the writers of the "Multiverse" gave up on the solo project of the actress "WandaVision", where her heroine had already managed to pass the path of redemption. To put it bluntly, the Scarlet Witch is needed in this film as a tool for introducing America Chavez. The situation becomes even worse from the fact that America is a character who is an idol of young people for her punchy temper, the whole movie just runs after Strange, without having a clear motivation or any thought behind her actions.

The story of Wanda succumbed to corrosion in this chapter. Unfortunately, the story is told on behalf of Stephen, suffering from unrequited love and condemnation from the outside, so we are not shown Wanda's doubts, it is not shown how the book of the damned affects her mind. We are immediately thrown into the story, where she is bad bad witch that should be stopped no matter what. Funny, how Strange being called for "When i did it i become enemy" in the movie.

Speaking of the book Darkhold, which is used in story as a catalyst for everything dark in Wanda, it should be mentioned that the book was owned not only by her. Both Agatha and Strange, after applying the spells of the darkhold, were in a sober mind and remained themselves. But as soon as Wanda touched the book, she immediately lost all moral foundations and turned into a mad witch. Well, i think we see this film before and we didn't like the ending.

Immediately an unexpected comparison comes to mind at first glance - the Dark Phoenix from fox studios. In both pictures, powerful red-haired girls are forced to sacrifice for the common good and suffer for their mistakes, while male characters in the person of Charles Xavier in Fox case and Stephen Strange in Marvel case are given the opportunity for redemption without any sacrifice on theirs.

If we talk about the film not so deeply, then it is a good family dramcomedy with horror elements, the target audience of which is the director himself, 62-year-old Sam Raimi. This film is riddled with issues of aging, lack of happiness in life and raising of a new generation. Surprisingly, the "Multiverse of Madness" turned out to be more like a 1+1 drama comedy than a witchy horror movie.
