The strangest part of this film is that it isn't really a movie about Doctor Strange. It's a movie about the Scarlet Witch aka Wanda Maximoff. Her grief, as seen in the Avengers films and "WandaVision" is a palpable thing and the resolution of that is the real focus here. Which leads me to the following -- this film has some fun raging through various realities (not as well as "Everything Everywhere All at Once" I suspect) but is just a bit plotless. I love the actors and enjoy the witty repertoire, but I'm getting a bit tired of every Marvel film existing for no other reason than to set up for the next Marvel film. So, yeah, it's a needed coda for Scarlet Witch but it clearly leads into a new storyline with a dozen unfinished threads. And I'm almost at the end of my rope with these unending Marvel sequels.
