Eternals

Bump for anyone who's seen it but can't find this thread.

I've seen every MCU movie in the cinema since the first Avengers, and got at least some enjoyment out of all of them, but this one...I'll wait until Disney+.
 
OH, I haven't seen the movie, but I did get an action figure in a McDonald's happy meal! lol
 
So a few thoughts.

ByThey arrive on earth in 5000bc with thick regional accents from regions that don't exist yet.

They build the city of Babylon over their spaceship, them in the present they launch it up through the ruins, how fortunate that city got abandoned, good job they didn't bury it under London ( or the future location of London).

Later we find out they are robots built by aliens that are billions of years old, so why is one of them deaf mute?

Why advertise a film around two famous actresses then hardly feature them?

if every planet has a celestial in them, why have we seen other planets much older than earth that have never hatched?
 
It wasn't completely terrible, but it was too long, had too many characters and had long stretches that were just dull. They introduce all the characters in flashback, but then have to get the gang back together and like 90 minutes in they're still re-introducing characters and getting the gang back together. Sersi and Ikarus are supposed to be the main characters, I guess, but they both show the least emotion out of all the characters and we get no sense at all of their supposedly seven thousand year love story. Kingo was fun but just says "actually, I can't help!" before the end and disappears for the last half hour. I kind of like the Irish guy but he was pretty underdevloped. Phastos comes into it too late. And so on. It was funny how the start makes it look like Jon Snow is going to be one of the main characters then he just disappears after the first fifteen minutes.

Some of it looked nice (if you like scenes shot just before the sun rises/sets then this is the movie for you!) and I appreciated the minimal CGI and green screen in the location stuff, but the deviants looked terrible. Literally like something from a video game. It was really hard to enjoy any action scene with them in it because they didn't look like they were really there. And the leader was just there to give Angelina a (not that great) fight scene. The CGI on Pip the Troll looked horrible too. The evil celestial looked good though.

I liked how Makkari's powers were done, it wasn't the usual slow motion speedster stuff. The fight scene everyone had with Ikarus at the end was by far the best action bit but it was two hours into the movie.

The celestial bursting out of Earth is supposed to destroy the planet but part of its head and hand come through the surface and the planet is completely fine?

I appreciated that it tried to be different from the usual MCU tone but the more typical movies Shang-Chi and No Way Home were more enjoyable so they'll probably just stick to the usual forever!
