I'm very curious to see what you all though about this one? I didn't dislike it, but it was definitely missing something.

Not a really good MCU Movie imho but its not the Material but it always felt rushed to me. Think it would have been way better to make a Disneyshow out of it. Would have allowed them to focus more on each Character and telling there Stories. The Movie had way more problems then this one but imho its the biggest one. I can only recommend the Critical Drinker on YT if you want to have a fair, no BS, Assessment of Movies. He is by far the best and competent Channel for Moviereviews and explainations. Anyway, thanks Mary, stay safe and have a nice weekend.

I actually enjoyed the movie. I am glad they took some chances with a bit of different story telling, look, and feel. It is far from perfect, but I am curious how this all intergrates into the MCU down the line. Interesting side note, Thanos was born with the Deviant gene and was treated as an outsider by a lot of his family and the people of his home world and maybe why his views of restoring "balance" was so genocidal.

It is my hope that the movie will "improve with age" as a few other MCU movies have ("Age of Ultron", I'm looking at you), after more of the related universe is fleshed out and we are better informed about whatever it is they are presumably setting up.

Pretty much all of phase 4 has been an abject failure.... The best Marvel film in this phase didn't even come from Disney, it came from Sony.

I generally watch MCU movies a couple of times in the cinema when they come out. Eternals was the first film since Civil War I saw only once. Really disliked it and did not fancy shelling out for repeat viewings. It felt flat, drawn out, both too empty and too full at the same time. Watching this reaction was only my second time watching it... and I really enjoyed it, far more than I expected to. Perhaps knowing the story beats, the characters, beforehand helped me enjoy the film on its own terms, I really can't say. But thank you for the reaction, and helping me rediscover an MCU film I had no interest in rewatching.

ya know, I agree with everything you said, but I must say these characters have really grown on me since the first watch. I was more invested in their little family, and i was more moved by their sweet parental love for humanity. although i was just thinking the same thing about the chemistry between Ikaris and Sersi, he was still pretty lame this time around.

I am in total agreement with you and was about to go on that exact same rant as you had at the end. These are beings that have lived through so many life experiences—it’s such a waste to not watch them develop through their entire life times at a more all encompassing pace. It would’ve brought so much more drama to the reveals of their true purpose and Icarus’s betrayal. This movie totally would’ve operated better in a series format.

I only watched this recently as everyone said it was crap. I found it okay though. Nothing earth shattering, but okay. I didn't understand the reasons they thought it was crap.

Brian Jones

Hope you get to the DCEU at some point Mary. It's a mixed bag, much like Marvel, but would really like to see your perspective on it.

I read people saying there were too many characters and the story was too compicated. lol. That was not an issue though. I suppose the same people must have struggled with The Fellowship of the Ring. Mostly seemed to be fairly standard superhero action to me.

Count Monte-Cristo

All backstory was told in this movie. Eternals are fancy robots kiling Diviants and nothing more. This is the syory, when they first time felt somethimg different. And if you didn't got it, watch again :)

The reason why The best Marvel film in this phase was best, is the stories that Marvel Studio made before that, so what are you talking about :D And it was made by Marvel Studios. I can even point where this information can be found on IMDB

I think they did, overall, a decent job with the number of characters that there were but 10 is a lot for one movie, and it did feel a bit like it was dragging. That being said I still enjoyed it but unlike most MCU movies it's not one I was rushing to see again. It's still enjoyable though

I often fall asleep trying to watch this movie, so I haven't seen the reaction yet, but I will at some point, lol

I'm shocked that Eternals is one of the least favorite MCU movies along with Incredible Hulk, Thor The Dark World, and Iron Man 2 &3. None of the events of Eternals is even mentioned in Shang Chi nor Moon Knight. Nothing on a sequel. I think people didn't like the idea of earth being nothing but a cocoon for a celestial and the people help that pod to grow. Like That story doesn't fit in the world of Iron Man, Aliens attacking earth, Wakanda, etc. I like Eternals though. I'm in love with Gemma Chan
