One thing they seem to be able to agree on is the performance of Wanda star Elizabeth Olsen and a fan went as far to argue she "carried the movie".

Clearly, some were less than impressed with the rest of the film, calling it "Dr. Strange In The Multiverse Of Blandness"

Another fan called it "a little underwhelming".

However, Mark disagreed, writing: "Yeah I’m gonna need you to chill #Marvel what was THAT??

"#DrStrange was outstanding".
