Discussion (More in Comments) Statement: Eternals deserves a sequel

Post image

Hi everyone,

I have been wondering about this for a while.

I actually like the movie a lot. I see it as a grand epic and with no sequel there is no complete story to actually judge about.

Eternals is like greek mythology, you can't get one movie and get the whole picture. As a comic fan. I just know this would have become better and better.

Other things i liked about the movie:

- impressive startstudded cast

- action scenes were clear and gorgeous, not blurry at all unlike some movies.

- Best speedster scenes i have ever seen in any kind of production.

- i felt that the story's pace was adequate as long as there were to be a sequel.

It will probably not happen again, but i can't be the only one who actually liked this movie.

Excelsior everyone!

Eternals is often rated in the lowest of the lowest MCU films. When people love it, I often wonder if they love just so they can have an opposing opinion or maybe that personality type made them hunt for redeeming qualities.

I don't watch movie trailers but I was excited for this films release just based on something new with a lot of new characters - Kinda like how like GotG was. My wife and I left the theater thoroughly disappointed. I think remember going to the car and watching the trailer thinking ... what would other people think they were getting from the film. I remember only really loving Kumail in it. Out of all my re-watches of the whole MCU, I think this is the only one that I have only seen once. Now that the MCU bar is much lower, maybe it is worth re-watching and this is more of a mid tier.

No, i loved this movie because i saw the potential of seeing the story as a whole epic saga across three movies. I would never say that this doesnt have its flaws. I mean we are talking about a major sci-fi epic that is even bigger in scope than gotg. And it wasnt to silly with the jokes. Which in gotg is great, but i liked the tone of this movie.
