2023 movie #6. 2022. A lot of stuff happens in this movie as Dr. Strange and the Scarlet Witch chase each other through the multiverse. Ultimately, it's a lot of flash and noise without much story. Not recommended if you're not very familiar with previous Marvel efforts. ( )

A film starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Elizabeth Olsen (Disney, 2022).

Someone with an interdimensional travel ability is hunted.

C+ (Okay).

I feel like for this story to work, it needed to be an America Chavez movie instead of a Doctor Strange movie. As it is, after her brief, lazy backstory scene, she stops being a character altogether until the climax of the movie comes in out of nowhere. Aside from the story, there's a lot of neat stuff in here. It's got some fun, creepy gags, and a kids-playing-with-action-figures vibe that reminds me a little of Aquaman.

Not quite as enjoyable as the first film. But still pretty entertaining. ( )
