Eternals (2021)

The "Meh-ternals"
6 November 2021
Warning: Spoilers
This movie is not Marvels worst but definetely not the best. I get it. The story is meant to be a little more phylosophical and rhater more adult, so to so to speak, than other MCU films and there is nothing wrong with that, but my problem is that at least make that entertaining and this felt too slow.

And despite having good themes and plots somehow the characters feel flat.

Like Druig with the mind control of a a complete town, there was so much potential there and some moral dilema that could've been interesting exploring. Or also how the Sprite dilemma of wanting to grow up and her existential crisis was handled so bannaly.

And don't let me rant about all the foreshadowing and exposition that was so lame and predictable. Yes this is an origin story and yes we do need the big reveal but come on, a big sentient voice just flat out telling it felt so boring for a superhero movie.

And the "tottaly unexpected" reveal of a traitor among them all along is so painfully obvious

I think with these movie they bit little too much more than what they could chew. This has a lot of potential that goes nowhere, to many characters that go nowhere and a very prefictable result.

Is not unwatchable but definetely could've been better.
