The Reviews Are In
Nicholas Barber of BBC’s Culture review gives a ton of credit to screenwriter Waldron. Barber says he has knitted together an immensely complicated yet largely comprehensible dimension-jumping plot.” Barber goes on to say, “[Waldron] has rightly given McAdams and Wong much more to do than they had in the previous Doctor Strange film, and he has incorporated lots of big surprises that the studio has managed to keep quiet about.” Ultimately, he gives credit where credit is due. In support of the MCU director, he concludes that Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, “feels like a Raimi project to the core.”
