Review of Eternals (2021) by Wolfy83 — 05 Nov 2021
I really enjoyed Eternals. The narrative and world-building were great. Coupled with unprecedented imagery for both quiet scenes and action scenes. Indeed, one can argue that some dialogue was repetitive and not really necessary, but for the main characters, Ikaris and Sersi, delving into their world through dialogue is inevitable. Sure, it's a long movie that requires us casual viewers to unpack a lot. In fact, you meet 10 characters plus a small love story plus several historical scenes, which has to be digested at first, but in my opinion, is very well done and presented. The chemistry between the characters as a family was easy to see. It's also funny, I really had to laugh at some of the scenes. The final fight was really awesome, as also mentioned by some in the panel. In a nutshell:
Storytelling and Worldbuilding: 3/5 Story: 3.5/5 Action: 3.5/5 Visuals: 5/5 sound design: 5/5 character design: 4/5 Fun: 4/5 Implications for the current MCU: 5/5.
So, it's a solid 4 out of 5 ≈ 80%.
Truly bombastic and visually stunning.
