It has been republished in light of the film's recent premiere on Disney+. If you’ll forgive the pun, "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" is a strange movie.
It’s one-third a sweaty act of Marvel brand expansion; one-third a somewhat confusing follow-up to the Disney+ series "WandaVision"; and one-third a pretty fun Sam Raimi action horror comedy in the vein of his "Evil Dead" series.
