'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' Fan Review: 'What a missed opportunity'

'Nothing is worse than Morbius but they did Strange a disservice with this film,' a user wrote in Twitter about 'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness'

It wasn't the kind of response Marvel Studios may have expected. 'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' opened to mixed responses, and safe to say, after a good combing of reactions on social media, fans leaned on the grumpy side as the movie didn't exactly meet the expectations. While one segment was all praise for various reasons, the more staunch MCU fandom was having none of it as they called the movie patchy and stupid.

The movie sees Benedict Cumberbatch's Strange suit up to protect America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez) from Elizabeth Olsen's Wanda after she decided to live a life with her children no matter the consequences — one of which is acquiring America's powers by killing her. Predictably, the movie ends with Wanda's downfall and a new direction for Strange.

"Strictly Average !!! #DrStrange #ScarletWitch #MarvelStudios," declared one of the fans. "Marvel did a terrible job with Dr Strange, I want to unsee everything.. ok it was not that bad but it definitely wasn’t good. Nothing is worse than Morbius but they did Strange a disservice with this film. #DrStrange," a fan seconded. "What a missed opportunity, #DrStrange has no major fight sequences, the dialogue in parts is seriously bad. They represented #Wanda as ‘crazy’. Character development & story was poor #MarvelStudios is getting lazy," a tweet read.

"#DrStrangeMultiverse is Good. Can be watched for its SpecialEffects & Action scenes. Not tht bad frm #MarvelStudios but could've been better. Would be a Gud Weekend watch for All Cinegoers #DrStrangeMultiverseOfMadness #DrStrange #BenedictCumberbatch," a comment said.

"#DrStrangeMultiverseOfMadness was an average Marvel movie. It’s one of the better ones since endgame came out. At the end of the day It wasn’t bad but not great. Just average. Some cool scene’s and cool actions parts. #Marvel #Wanda #DrStrange," one of the fans wrote.

"Watched the new #DrStrange. Painfully stupid. Just awful. Wanted to walk out it was so bad. Wish I had. It did not get better and I would have saved myself a migraine. Do yourself a favor and just download a s**tty pirated cam version or just skip it. It's bad," a fan remarked.
