Prior to its release, Eternals has already received negative feedback, being labeled as ‘disappointing’ and ‘ultimately unmemorable’ by critics in their initial reviews of the highly-anticipated MCU blockbuster. In an interview, one of the film’s stars revealed that she initially thought she was going to play a ‘grandmother’ character and never expected to be cast as one of the Eternals without putting up a fight. The actress expressed her surprise for being chosen, given her age, ethnicity, and gender, which are often overlooked in the industry. She commended the director for acknowledging her and championed her co-star for showing representation on screen in a refreshing way. Another actor praised Marvel for featuring diversity on a global scale in their movies.
Critics weren’t impressed with the recent superhero film, criticizing its “undernourished” script, underdeveloped characters, and overloaded storyline. Although the cast was praised for its diversity, some felt that the characters were too focused on their own struggles, resulting in a lack of dramatic depth. Reviewer Kevin Maher of The Times gave the film two stars, calling out its “strange self-sabotaging energy” and describing the characters as “ten characters in search of a script.” While the film represents progress for representation in superhero films, it falls short in terms of storytelling ingenuity.
According to Owen Gleiberman, a critic for Variety, the film Eternals is a letdown as it fails to capture the raw and real signature quality that director Chloe Zhao has brought to her previous works like Nomadland and The Rider. He was curious to see if Zhao would keep any of her unique poetic style while making a blockbuster movie like Eternals, but unfortunately, the film lacked all of that. Gleiberman mentioned that the movie feels very standard and fails to transcend its conventionality when compared to top-tier team superhero films like Guardians of the Galaxy, Justice League, and Avengers: Infinity War. Despite his criticisms, he did praise the diversity of the cast, highlighting the various backgrounds and temperaments of the characters. He also noted that any trolls who complain that the movie is too “woke” would have made the same complaint about Star Trek 55 years ago.
The Eternals movie has received mixed reviews from critics, with some criticizing its comprehensive mythological storyline and likening it to a “sophisticated PowerPoint presentation.” Others have noted that the film seems to be trying too hard to adhere to traditional superhero storytelling clichés, resulting in a lack of originality. However, some critics have praised director Chloé Zhao’s unique artistic sensibilities and ambitious approach to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Despite its flaws, Eternals features groundbreaking moments such as a genuine sex scene and an onscreen gay kiss, indicating a step forward for the MCU in terms of representation. Overall, while the film may not be perfect, it offers a fresh perspective on the superhero genre and remains an engaging watch for fans.
The movie received positive reviews from Charlotte O’Sullivan, a critic from the Evening Standard. She awarded it four stars and commended the actors, except for Gemma Chan’s performance as Sersi, which she deemed “wooden.”
