Just back from the Eternals. I enjoyed it. I’d rate it as one of the better origin movies (bearing in mind that the majority of them are a 7/10 with only a few stand outs)
All the complaints you’ve heard are justified to a point but your enjoyment of the film will entirely depend on your own personal tolerances of them.
To me, some of them were a plus (e.g least ‘Marvelly’ Marvel film yet worked fine for me, it being ‘Chloe Zhoa’y worked for me, I like her stuff and can see why she got hired). It being long didn’t bother me because I’m a grown man and don’t need to piss every 20 mins. I’d not say it’s slow. It drops big story and action pieces at a regular enough clip. Respect to Marvel for trying something new-ish and stepping out the standard template in several ways with it too.
Marmite movie I guess.
