Jules 59 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I loved Nomadland, it was fantastic. This looks quite boring, but I rarely dislike a Marvel movie, so I'm sure it'll be worth a cinema trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstrox 6,654 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I have no strong feelings about Eternals, beyond the fact that like pretty much every comic book movie I’ve seen that wasn’t directed by Zack Snyder, I’ll probably think it’s fun. With that said, 75% means that three out of every four critics liked it! I like tons of movies that have a lower tomato score than that. Batman 89 does! I watch horror movies. Meanwhile there are plenty of 90+% movies that are boring as sin. Review aggregators are only so useful - and once you factor in user reviews, especially on contentious zeitgeisty films, they’re all but useless.

mstrox 6,654 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 It’s hard to gauge what the reviewer means by that. It seems like they’re talking about the mythic nature of the story during that section. My problem with Snyder’s superhero movies is that they are largely joyless. Real edgelord slogs, regardless of what the actual story is. Hopefully this isn’t like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor: The Dark World is the best Thor movie. It just has a worthless villain. But it's got the best Thor / Loki scenes. It's got the best Thor / Odin scenes. The supporting cast actually has something to do. Asgard feels like a place that has people in it. I didn't get why people loved Loki so much until T:TDR. Thor Ragnarok was well made and funny as hell, but it kinda hates Thor. If Waititi had made Endgame there would have been a laugh line after Tony snapped his fingers.

The part I can't figure out is that T:TDR's worst failing is an under served villain played by a terrific actor and a fairly nonsensical third act. When TDW was released that was largely Marvel's go-to move. So why the unique hate? It's certainly not Iron Man 2. Giftheck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeping Strings 2,384 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Dunno about beginning of the end (No Way Home is likely to be a hit, I would've thought) but certainly it looks as if Eternals is the third 'just OK' Marvel release of 2021 in a row.

Mr. Who 920 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 I think critics reviewed this movie too early. It should be a few days before the release as all these reviews just negatively impact people. In general I think people should make up their own minds but now the narrative is that it’s terrible without anyone having seen it (besides said critics).
