Marvel’s The Eternals (spoiler free)
Putting my hands out here saying first of all that this is gonna be all spoiler-free, because I’m not a highly paid Variety reporter who got to watch The Eternals’ premiere three weeks before it came out to the whole ass world only to spoil the post-credits scene on twitter as soon as I got out of the screening (for those who didn’t know, this happened for real. Thank you so much, Mr. Matt Donnelly, for spoiling the movie weeks before it came out.)
So, back to our little spoiler-free review because booooy, this movie. This movie. Just thinking about it makes me go through a rollercoaster of emotions I didn’t even think I was capable of feeling.
At first, I wasn’t really excited this much for a film about the Eternals and Shang Chi, mostly because their introduction after the Infinity saga felt wrong, like trying to add an extra piece to an already finished puzzle, but then, I started thinking of it the other way round: the first two pieces set down to start a completely new picture. So, from this point of view I started getting more invested in both movies as more teasers and trailers came out, and Shang Chi definitely ended up not disappointing (man I fucking loved that movie).
The Eternals, not so much. That is definitely not to say that the movie deserved the review bombings against lgbt+ representation nor such a low score on RottenTomatoes, because it may not be perfection itself, but it is quite good and all those people who went against all the rep better watch their backs because I can aND WILL FIND THEM-
Ahem.
As I was saying, if you want a concise opinion, just so you can decide wether to go to the movies or wait for a Disney+ release and then close the tab, I’ll sum up the whole review with this: overall, the movie is really, like really good, with an amazing cast and photography, and it’s totally worth your money to go and watch it in an actual cinema, but there are some things that marvel probably didn’t think of, that ended up sinking a bit the overall quality of the film. Have you made up your mind on going at the movies? If you have a little more time and do want to know a bit more about what makes Marvel’s The Eternals at the same time both a really good and really bad film (always spoiler-free, mind you), then you only need to keep on reading and we’ll tackle it all together.
1) First off, the photography. Chloe Zhao is a great director and makes use of a particular photography, which for the rendering of the Eternals, mystic figures whose names, personalities and destinies match our actual myths (i.e. Gilgamesh, Ikaris from Icarus, Phastos from haphaestus, Thena from Athena, etc.) is perfect. However it seems as if they totally abused of this photography in the movie, really there are some pretty long sequences in which all you see are blurred figures in backlight, which to me is a big no no.
2) The plot. It’s really good. Really. But it felt like it was overstuffed. That is, it felt like I experienced the whole ass plot of the Cap trilogy in one single movie, and that leads imo to a lot of confusion and misunderstandings of the plot itself, which is already more “adult” and heavy compared to the other mcu films. The reason why lots of people are saying “it doesn’t feel like a Marvel movie” is because of this which, coupled with the fact that it’s almost three hours long, makes it a bit hard to concentrate. I personally came out of the cinema with an awful headache after my shortsighted and astigmatic ass spent 2h 40min staring at a big screen while also trying to follow all the plot points. (There is also a huge ass articulated speech I wanted to write about how Marvel movies were born to entertain and shut down your brain for two hours, not to be heavy three-hours-long indie movies that leave you feeling like your brain melted, but this is not the time) Overall though, the plot really is good, like I said before, except for one particular thing that has nowadays become a fixed point in every. fucking. disney movie. aka, the “good guy turns out to be a bad guy who’s been working against the actual heroes of the story this whole time” plot twist. It started with Wreck It Ralph and it went on with Frozen, with The Nutcracker, with basically every single product since fucking 2012, @ Disney give it a rest.
3) The sex scene, for which I have two comments: first, my dad did not have to hastily cover my eyes in a cinema in 2008 while Tony Stark started humping Christine Everheart onscreen for y’all to say that Eternals is the first marvel movie with a “dirty” scene. And second, it’s useless af. When every review was saying “oh it’s the first marvel movie with a sex scene! oh oh oh! such a wonder!” I thought that it was, y’know, important to the plot in some way, just like in Iron Man. Instead while in Iron Man the scene was at least a bit useful in understanding Tony Stark’s pre-arc reactor character, what we got here was two full minutes of straight sex just because, which is something that I can’t fucking stand as it’s happening nowadays in every. single. piece. of modern media.
So here it is. Overall, every ten minutes of this film just make you go in a loop of
and that is not to say it’s a horrible movie, nor that it’s perfection itself.
It just. It simply did not meet the high expectations that Marvel built on some aspects of it.

There’s a ton to say about gender in line of duty but one specific small thing that I love is the necklines on these women’s wardrobes. In so many areas of life, including casual office work wear and formalwear, women’s clothing has much lower necklines, exposing more skin, and is also just generally colder. But in line of duty they haven’t got like, deep v necks under their blazers, it’s button downs and turtlenecks. This isn’t to say that v necks are bad, but it contributes further to two things that the show is trying to convey: one is that women officers in the show dont function significantly differently than the men do. And then the other one is that they’re all very guarded and professional and secretive and hard to trust as a viewer and anyone could be corrupt! Which, like, I dunno, I kinda feel like a turtleneck under a blazer conveys that hardcore, professional, keep my cards close to my chest type attitude more than a floral print silk blouse would. It’s less friendly and more guarded...I don’t know. I fucking love it. I wish I had jo Davidson’s wardrobe. Whatever
