Just when you think The Eternals is bad (reminiscent of some Bollywood Specials...), No Way Home is worse (remix of a few old Spiderman movies and characters)... and this Dr. Strange is just a new low for Marvel... should have made this an episode of WandaVision instead.

This series focuses more on the key players around Hitler rather than on Hitler himself. It isn't really about WWII either so players like Rommel, the Desert Fox, is not mentioned at all. Instead, this is about how office politics were played by Master Manipulators for their own personal gains. It is also about how ordinary people, people who are down and out of luck (Reinhard Heydrich, Heinrich Himmler, Hermann Goering, Martin Borman, ... all fit in this category), can seize just one opportunity life gives them, and rise to the very pinnacle of power. Highly recommended to those who are learning to climb the corporate ladder.

This is a very slow-burn, most of the "actions" don't start until 2/3 into the movie, by that time, I had been watching it leading me nowhere and was seriously thinking about turning it off. I understand and appreciate the specific way Japanese like to express their innermost emotions, and I am not saying this movie bored me to death but honestly, they could have hacked 1/2 of the runtime off and still keep all the favours, and I would have saved 90 minutes of my life.
