MOVIESinMO REVIEW
This is not what I or any Marvel fans expected. Eternals takes the Marvel winning formula and destroys it. Even the action scenes were dull. The dialog seemed unnatural, and the main actors didn’t appear to be fully into their role. The movie opens with words scrolling up explaining what/who the Eternals are. The only time something like that worked was in 1977, at the beginning of Star Wars. But the visuals were so exciting, they could have gotten away with anything. Eternals was not so lucky. In 2021 we have gone past words scrolling. If you need to explain the movie before it begins, you’re already in trouble. Besides that, there are too many characters to try and explain properly or give me a reason to care about. The best characters in the movie are Phasto, Kingo, and Karun. That’s the Black guy, the Pakistani-American comedian, and the mortal Indian “sidekick.” If the other characters had been half as good as those three, Eternals would be a lot better, not great, but better. The visuals weren’t that great as most of it was uneventful and pointless to the story. The battle scenes started and stopped without much notice. It was like fighting was an annoyance to the overall story, which had to be explained throughout the entire film. And even then, you had to know each character to fully understand whatever it was they were trying to convey. Ultimately, this is a film only faithful comic book readers will understand, but if this is Marvel’s early Christmas gift to its fans, they must really hate them.
