Reception
Joe Garza of /Film stated, "While this is primarily a Hulk flick, the inclusion of Doctor Strange and the haunted heroes of the Howling Commandos makes Hulk: Where Monsters Dwell an absolute blast."[18] Gab Hernandez of Screen Rant included Hulk: Where Monsters Dwell in their "8 Best Adaptations of Doctor Strange In Movies and TV" list, writing, "While the movie is definitely more of a fun monster mash than a strong narrative, that's totally fine for a comic book movie meant for kids."[19]
