Finally, after getting delayed for an entire year, Eternals is just around the corner. Disney just held the film’s premiere a couple of hours ago and as always, the first wave of reactions towards the film has arrived. Check it out!
ETERNALS: in style & tone this is easily the least Marvel-like movie in the MCU (it doesn't look like plastic. also, sex happens) & the scale is cosmic in a way that makes the avengers arc feel like a blip. so why is it still just misfit spandex people fighting bad CG for 3 hours

Okay wow… I'm going to make another tweet but #Eternals is A LOT.

Without exaggeration it is the most plot heavy mcu film and it definitely *feels* like the longest. What I will say now is:
– Legit LGBTQ rep
– Legit sexual tension
– Does not feel like it's on autopilot https://t.co/FY8b2gIb9m
Marvel’s #Eternals is spectacularly weird & rich w/ a new MCU mythology that makes it feel separate from everything else. It’s honestly refreshing. There’s a bittersweetness to the film that you feel in its sunset shots – a definite Chloé Zhao touch. It is soulful & thoughtful pic.twitter.com/pIAFAyhJ4D

I wanted to like #Eternals much more than I did. There’s a lot to like, but the massive story felt at odds with the intimate character development, leaving me without anything to truly invest in.

There’s some good stuff, but not enough. pic.twitter.com/dolxEaRflp
#Eternals , wow! A lot to unpack. If Marvel movies are a Venn diagram — variations within that overlap — this movie is off the charts. Hands down the most different of any of their films.

#Eternals is DENSE & I felt the weight of the exposition often. Movie’s at its best when the focus is on the Eternals recreating their family – the humor of it & the passion when they fight for each other and the things they love. Also, Angelina Jolie in the MCU is EVERYTHING. pic.twitter.com/rMJz0U2It2
