Eternals (2021)
Haters gonna hate, potatoes gonna po tate
MCU fans that aren't invested in the comics are the likely haters on all threads, and maybe those trolling about a homosexual kiss. Get over yourselves. Go pick up some Jack Kirby books.
The Eternals (both in comic and movie) is a tale of the many differences in life and choices we make.
This movie is about life, family, and a sense of purpose- with the very real struggles of everyday man represented via deus ex machina.
I went to see this with my father, and he's a very smart man; Well educated, but he's of a generation that goes to the movies to be entertained and not to be provoking any thought. His favorite marvel movie is Iron Man.
Was that a good movie? Yes. Do we need 1000 Iron Man cookie cutter movies? Heck No!
We have been spoiled by the MCU providing the best in super hero cinema and visual effects.
This movie is no different than that except... the pacing is a little slower to flesh out a larger cast of characters (of whom we've never seen before) and so that we really feel for these ETERNALS.
If anything, I'd say the pace of this movie is about the same as Saving Private Ryan.
Everyone played their part very well.
Chloe Zhao could not have done better. This was truly a magnificent look at humanity. (I can't wait for the longer cut to come out. I'm sure this could've been a 4 hour movie and I would've loved it just the same!)
For all the haters:
Maybe you just need to process a bit and then see it again, or read a comic, or just think of this movie outside of your perspective on what the MCU is or isn't.

4.5
Concept was cool. Fight scenes were great. Storyline seemed wicked forced at parts. With such a slow & steady intro, for them to just speed through some of the more important plot and leaving out some crucial information only to leave a cliffhanger as if this is going to be a series...
It makes me not want to watch that potential series.
If that were the case, we should've had more in the middle and the end OR, just end the movie sooner and leave bigger questions looming over our heads.

BEST MOVIE OF 1992!!!
Aquaman is a good combo of HBO quality film from 1992 with an equally outdated soundtrack. The plot hole riddled film follows the adventures of Arthur on his quest to find out where he belongs. He drinks with his dad, fights bad guys, and meets his duck tailed brother & squares off in a battle of bad vs worse. Meanwhile, all the costuming that was so very on point with the comics, erupts in some hilarity at the direction of the film.
What you need to know: it's better to fall asleep when watching this because you'll probably make up a better story while you're dreaming than what the movie turned out to be.
Just remember to wear ear plugs so you don't have to listen Pitbull's awful rap.
