Eternals




 I don't know what the fuck i watched earlier. Eternals is either Marvel's most ambitious film or Marvel thinks all their marks will eat up anything and assume it is high art. This film is their most flawed in terms of characters and plot but it feels fresh and interesting in the structure. If this was out in the 80s and was a few million dollars cheaper it would fit in well with sci fi/fantasy of the time. It has some cheese and some cool imagery but damn it needs some trimming. Some characters pop up late, others disappear, it is as if Tommy Wiseau directed it, though it is not quite that bad(or that great?)Kumail Nanjiani and Barry Keoghan are the only two that seem to do any work with their characters, everyone else is quite wooden. At times i was bored, at others i said what the fuck(many times) but i respected this film for being different.
