Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

Despite the entertaining visuals, the film has much Madness and not enough multiverse. With its mix of action, sci-fi, comedy, some signature Raimi style horror moments, and heart all precariously combining into a feature that feels rushed and, in the grand scheme of things, primarily pointless in the overall Marvel picture, Madness has an overabundance of ideas and story strands that do feel as though they belong in a longer more expertly paced film but here get little thought or care. The cameos were glistening, but they did not quite nail the landing as they did on the previous Spiderman installment. This film was the perfect opportunity for them to go crazy with the multiverse stuff, but sadly that is not what they deliver. Wanda outshines Dr. Strange in the film, making one wonder if the film was initially called The Scarlett Witch.
