The Take
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is not worth watching. The multiverse concept collapses under franchise committee demands and empty spectacle that prioritizes cameos over story.
Raimi's practical horror touches occasionally cut through the noise but feel tacked onto a script that lost its way in reshoots and endless variants.
The Verdict
The film signals franchise fatigue at every turn. Cameos function as cheap copium while the plot drifts through variants without earning emotional investment.
Skip it. Watch Everything Everywhere All at Once instead for multiverse done with soul and real stakes.
