fantastic_four Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Actually I guess I was worried about this from the start just based upon the number of characters in the group. Think about the setup leading to the Avengers--we had Hulk, Iron Man, Cap, and Thor movies, then here come the Avengers. And there are only six of them, whereas there are ten Eternals--there's NO way to cover that many characters in much of a satisfying way. Then there's the multitude of Celestials and their highly complex goals. Man, I hope they focus on the Celestials. But I realize if they do that most people will probably hate the film and be bored, so I'm also aware that's something they can't do. But screw everybody else, I hope they did it. There's just not enough time to get fans hooked on ten Eternals, but I bet they tried anyway--and it sounds like they largely failed. Comparison--remember when Sam Raimi left the Spider-Man trilogy because Avi Arad made him cram three villains into one film in Sandman, Venom, and Green Goblin Jr? Here we have Chloe Zhao tasked with INTRODUCING ten heroes, plus half a dozen or so Celestial gods, plus Deviants. There's just no time for all that. jcjames and jimjum12 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
▫️ Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Not the best reviews but should end up in the high 60’s on RT. Whats funny is Forbes and several other articles saying Marvel is trying to make a DC movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every DC movie is whatever the director wants it to be for the most part with no single creative controller behind them like Feige. So what is it they're even talking about? Between Nolan, Snyder, Whedon, and all the rest I have no unified feel for what a "DC movie" even is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I’m just pointing out the articles (I’m up to 5 now) making that statement. Maybe because Eternals is not a 90% RT movie out of the gate?

Joshua33 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Almost every review shares 2 commonalities... 1. They spend more time building future MCU movies than they do focusing on this very film. 2. The costumes are almost Power Ranger bad. Can't wait to see it and judge for myself. Currently sitting at 72% on Rotten Tomatoes. Wonder when Disney will pay to get that up to a more favorable number? Larryw7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears to be different. Black Widow and Shang-Chi were below average to average films that were just as it was the same formula that Marvel has been doing outside of Avengers.
