I had high hopes for this film but unfortunately the film suffered from a week plot line, corny one liners that did not land, and struggled to find whether it was a horror film or a high budget Disney hocus-pocus. Sadly the main character wasn’t even Doctor Strange. Your hero was America Chavez who doesn’t even know how to use her powers but is able to conjure up the strength to take down the scarlet witch in a nickelodeon teenybopper school fight at the end. So far marvel phase 5 has not been all that great and Doctor Strange did not deliver.

Visually beautiful, but the huge amount of plot holes and lazy writing was too much. The reintroduction of Trevor was just a waste of film and the break out from dads dungeon was reminiscent of the horrific writing you would find in Disney's variations of Star Wars. Shang Chi side kick Katy of course learned to master the bow and arrow in less than a hour and saved the day. Predictable and Pathetic. The last act was a sloppy mess of confusion with soul sucking whatever's and a big dragon. Unfortunately this film was too formulated even for me.
