DoctorStrange2 is at its best when it's embracing Sam Raimi's gifts, but falters under cheap fan service and the MCU's attempts to one-up itself, rbonaime reviews:
Almost a decade ago to the day, Marvel gave fans exactly what they had wanted for years with The Avengers, a film that united six of their mightiest heroes in a film that felt unfathomable at the time. The Avengers, felt like Marvel had accomplished something major, a team-up that the company has often tried to one-up ever since. But the MCU has grown a remarkable amount in these last ten years.

For much of Multiverse of Madness, Raimi is crafting a film that feels much more in line with his Evil Dead films and Drag Me to Hell than his Spider-Man films.
Yet it’s in this universe where we see the flaws in Marvel’s attempts to try and embrace fan service. Without spoiling the “madness” in this multiverse, Doctor Strange blatantly attempts a crowd reaction akin to the final fight in Endgame, or the appearance of the other Peter Parkers in No Way Home, but without the narrative weight that made those other moments effective.
