Review of Eternals

Eternals (2021)
7/10
Best MCU movie of the year
7 November 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Eternals has one of the best opening scenes in a marvel movie that is eye candy for an Eternals fan. Visuals are impressive particularly with the powers and how they look. The non linear storytelling will work for some but not for other (it worked for me personally).

The celestials looked amazing and the film has a large scale. The two post credit scenes are great for the future of different parts of the movie and the ending makes me want Eternals 2 as fast as possible.

Where the film lets me down is with the twist with Ikaris. As an Eternals fan I think it was a poor interpretation of this character and killing him off was not how I saw Ikaris when imagining him from the comics. However possible sequels may allow for this problem to be abolished. Sprite becoming human made sense due to the actor ageing but the character not so I was perfectly fine with this.

Overall the film is almost perfection, just one fatal flaw allowed for the film to slowly lose me.
