I’m all for them bringing the weirdness but the big final fight being, well, a pretty boring scrap on a beach seemed to undercut that. I should probably give it another watch though.

Film discussion abilities will only get you so far. Like if someone didn’t like that a scene wasn’t subtle or that the Aztec scene was done “poorly,” for the reason you gave, it’s going to boil down to a matter of taste. What works for some people won’t work for others.

Heck, I’d be fine about the final conflict being on Earth if it was someplace a bit more visually interesting and/or they’d broadened the scope of it. Like they’re clambering all over the Celestial hand and arm emerging from the ground, or have some ancient ruins with ties to their past, or if Kro got involved in any…

I genuinely like Eternals as well, and I could be wrong but I think that the reviews were more the result of post-Endgame expectations than the actual quality of the film. That said, I can’t help but feel like it’s biggest flaw is that it spends all this time building up this grand, epic tale that really starts…

Why can’t really say I hated The Eternals but what I can say is this movie along with Quantumania are the two MCU movies that I have had no interest in ever watching again.  Which says a lot because of the many MCU movies I can rewatch over and over or just jump in at any point if I just want to watch a certain…

I agree.  I think it’s the one MCU movie, though, that could have benefited from being a Disney+ show instead.  So much of the movie is just backstory and exposition that could have been better handled with a longer run-time.  

I need to give it another shot. I probably was hindered by the fact that I’ve never given a shit about the Eternals in the comics, so I wasn’t going to be the target audience.

I think it’s pretty good up until the end, which is just a huge letdown.

While I would always encourage people to develop their critical analysis skills, I also think sometimes you don’t have to be an academic to express a preference. I’m about as academic as they come as it concerns film and could give you a long rundown of why Citizen Kane is an amazing, historically important film. But…

Never apologize to the fucking AV Club for your tastes

Yeah, I enjoyed it fine. We’re in end stage media consumption where if a film isn’t the most perfect example of the film genre it’s in, it must then be the worst trash. No, this is a stupid take, some movies are just fine and this is okay.

I can’t argue that Eternals is a good movie. It’s just too sprawling and oddly structured. But it’s one of the few recent superhero movies I can see developing the cult that not good but weirdly ambitious movies develop.

It’s funny that trans folks just plain break some people’s brains.

Oh, I guarantee you there’s like six unread emails in her inbox from Vivid Video right now. All “It briefly worked for Chyna and that one lady that was on Boy Meets World!”

I added the Ryan Gosling Push cover to my regular rotation.

The exaggerated, karaoke way he sings certain words is just perfection.

“I wanna take yah ferr GRANNED”.

She. Is. Awesome. I think you’ll enjoy her role.

I think it makes sense for the CW Nancy Drew to take the supernatural cues from the stories that had rational explanations & go all out with ghosts and curses and such, it is part of the fun seeing the characters adjust to this & accept it.

I loved Leah Lewis in The Half of It & George on Nancy Drew is a great part for her & highlights her versatility, since it is a quite different role, and also George herself evolves a lot (and is possessed by a French lady ghost for a while, spoiler I guess)

Honestly, no clue? I haven’t seen it.

Lover it and it did have a decent ending
