Description
The Eternals are a team of ancient aliens who have been living on Earth in secret for thousands of years. When an unexpected tragedy forces them out of the shadows, they are forced to reunite against mankind’s most ancient enemy, the Deviants.
I hope he will turn out to be some super-duper hero and there will be a lot of movies with him
But Druig and Makkari are love, their relationship was sweet 💕
Separately, I would like some kind of series about Dane Whitman, but it seems that the most you can count on is his appearance in Blade, and even that is not a fact.
Be afraid of your desires, as they say. I've been whining recently that Marvel is afraid to experiment. Well, then I looked at the Eternal Ones. The worst fucking Marvel movie ever. Well, maybe on the same level of the bottom as the Black Panther. The production and screenplay were handled by Chloe Zhao (Oscar Award for The Land of Nomads). And it's a pity that producer Kevin Feige didn't tell her that he has such a small streaming platform as Disney+ and that it's not necessary to cram a bunch of interesting ideas (non-linear storytelling, for example) and a dozen main characters into a two-and-a-half-hour film. Well, it seems like it's a lot, but not for the scale of this story. Instead of somehow revealing the Eternals, the director ridiculously often lines them up and makes them look meaningfully into the distance. It's amazing how a movie can be so long, so eventful, and yet so monotonous and boring to death. All the characters are equally mumbling mournfully, without ceasing, some kind of pseudo-philosophical crap (as you know, there is nothing for famous actors to play here). I've never yawned so much in my life. I thought I'd dislocate my jaw in the end. But there was a lot of talk about the first gay couple and the first superhero sex in the expanded Marvel cinematic universe. It would be better, damn it, to take up the script. Or at least improved the simply embarrassing special effects. Or they turned off the brightness. The operator clearly has decay and longing in his life - the picture is infernally depressing with the lack of colors. There are also a lot of questions about the script. On the one hand, there are some good plot twists, but if you think about it, they don't work there at all. Extermination of predators to accelerate the development of intelligent life. A shield? In my opinion, evolution works a little differently. Why then were people not specifically destroyed on Earth? We're the fucking predators. Like the best of the best of the best, sir. Why exactly did we need to be rescued? Why not some other, more prolific species? What difference does it make who to feed on? Why should the audience empathize with the dying heroes whom we do not know? Why, after so many cycles, did the conscience rise up on earthlings? What, before that, there was no such wonderful civilization among them?
Why, bitch, is Sumer Gilgamesh being played by a Korean?! (The Korean, by the way, is a cool actor from the Train to Busan) Why are the Eternals so dumb and, after thousands of years on Earth, did not even understand the plan of their superiors? Why are there such shitty scenes after the credits? Is Jon Snow from a family of vampires and met Blade, or what? What kind of drunken dwarf is that? Horse-drawn circus. It used to be clearer somehow. Now Feigi has to dig into the stash of his library completely. Oh, yes, the final battle is the standard piu-piu-piu energy beams. Moreover, some of the villains just get tired of fighting and get killed against the wall, some die from suddenly being sucked out of a superhero's ass. At the end, the script seemed to be written by Dominic Toretto straight from the Fast and the Furious. I don't care that we stick daggers in each other's backs, we are a family. Some kind of misunderstanding, not a movie with a completely indistinct ending. There is no desire to watch the continuation of this. I'm just catching Vietnamese flashbacks, as from watching Justice League. Only then did DC want to quickly make their own Avengers, without wasting extra energy on solo performances of individual heroes, but here in Marvel they themselves had a fight with the shadow and lost. Utter shit. Keep the art house directors away from blockbusters.
Rating: 3 guardians of Zack Snyder out of 10
P.S. I wonder whose bright head came up with the idea of forcing Richard Madden (Robb Stark) and Kit Harington (Jon Snow) to be in a romantic relationship with a heroine named Cersei (that is, Cersei)? This does not allow us to take the film seriously at all.
And so far there have been no projects that have recalled the fucking celestial in the ocean. Really, what's the big deal?
By the way, they say after "Superhumans " Marvel tries not to go to Hawaii, and the director of the film was also told - don't go to Hawaii 😁
This is a team movie with a lot of characters, each of whom needed to be revealed at least a little. It's not an easy task, but the director coped with it at a basic level. The plot revolves mainly around two former lovers and their mutual friends who are ready to help each other with various difficulties.
Chloe's visual style immediately catches the eye - the natural light from the sun, sunset and dawn landscapes are all about her. However, personally, I started to get bored at the end, because it was in every scene. I think that there should be a little bit of good, but here... There is not even a hidden meaning in this.
The deviants are not completely revealed, their motive is clear, but there is also something deep.
It turned out to be a good film, but not as terrible as it was overwhelmed by critics. Thor 2 looks weaker against the background of this movie.
