I like the fact that this movie tackled issues of metal illnesses and the consequences of not treating them properly. Continued from the Wandavision, we can see perserversion is not necessary a good thing and ppl should know when it’s time to let go. She and Strange both lost their loved ones and went through five stages of grief. However, strange recognized the similarity between him and Wanda, he eventually can realize the best choice for him is to give up the love of his life. The watch symbolized his step to heal himself mentally. Strange was a successful surgeon who used to have everything he wanted. In the first movie, he lost his title and abilities that had defined him, but was able to get them back in some way through his hardships and persistence. In the second movie, he had to learn sometime that he couldn’t get anything he desired no matter how much he had tried. However, In this movie, the magic was overly convenient. There were no set of rules of limitations. It simply can be anything though imagination. The audience couldn’t see what the main cast had done in order to acquire certain skills so they could win the fight. Hence, the fight scenes became the least exciting part of the entire movie, because they seemed so easy. Secondly, there was a huge leap of Wanda’s character between Wanda from the tv show and the Wanda in the movie. I felt that Wanda was a good person who was controlled by her grief and made bad choices because of her mental instability. It would be better to show the audience how the darkhold corrupted her and lured her into the dark side at the beginning of the movie, instead of making her a full-on villain from the get go. There was no explanation that Wanda in the TV show had felt guilty once she had realized that she had imprisoned a town while in the movie she heartlessly killed hundreds of people. Overall, the movie had a decent message but it might be overcrowded by multiple plot lines and too much CGs. There was hardly any slow moments for deeper characters developments.
