I'm more with Barry on this one. I saw it in the theater with a friend, and then at home with my wife when it popped up on Disney+ recently. *** SPOILERS *** My friend is a fan of "Peanuts" and likes when stories & characters have thematic "Peanuts moments" i.e. they learn something and develop. In this case, Dr. Strange in our universe was the only Dr. Strange who learned the lesson from the Spider-Man: No Way Home movie, that he didn't have to be the one holding the knife all the time. He had help from others who could contribute. I did have a little trouble with Wanda's turn to darkness - I felt like there was a gap between what happened at the end of WandaVision and this movie, that needed to fill in how corrupting the Darkhold is how it affected her. I also agree that the actress and character for America Chavez seemed a little lightweight - I've seen several young actresses who better conveyed a powerful or charismatic feel, for example McKenna Grace in Ghostbusters: Afterlife or Priah Ferguson in Stranger Things.Definitely not one of the best Marvel movies, but I still enjoyed it.
I haven't been thrilled with any of the Phase 4 Marvel movies.In fact, I'm starting to think they're all part of a Not Brand Echh section of the Multiverse. (This is an obscure reference that only Barry will be likely to get it.)Let's move on to Phase 5, if there is one. I'm still holding out hope that we may get a version of the Fantastic Four that comes close to the classic comics version.Scott
