Eternals Movie Review and Spoilers - IMDb Rating

Marvel Studios' new movie Eternals where we are introduced to this superhero group called Eternals who have been with us for ages. We have read their names in different pages of history in the form of myths or legends. However, they have made a special contribution to the development of the human race. So if this question is asked to me about how this newly released movie is, I will say that I like it quite differently.

We are all more or less familiar with Marvel movies. So everyone has a rough idea of ​​what a Formula Marvel movie might look like and that's where the Eternals movie is different. Maybe a talented director like Chloe Zhau has directed the movie and this difference can be felt in the bones. Everything from the visuals of the movie to the acting and creating a separate space for each character was wonderful.

I know a lot of people didn't like this movie, maybe because of its different direction and a lot of journey-centric storylines could not stand in expectation of the typical Marvel Hero Rising Story. However, all these things have a special impact on me because I like the movie so much. At the same time, presenting a total of 10 new heroes in a movie is never an easy task. There, Chloe Zhau and all the cast members have done a great job with each character.

The CGI Heavy Fight sequences at the end of most Marvel movies seem very unrealistic and there are many complaints about this all the time. However, the use of CGI in this movie is not noticeable. The visuals are so smoothly drawn on the screen that the unrealistic feeling is not so striking.

The strongest moments of this movie are the slow parts of the movie. The very human dilemmas of such powerful God-like characters can be felt through the conversations between the characters. Moreover, since the Eternals have been around the world for ages, we see a number of primitive civilizations and periods that were visually marvelous.

Everyone has competed in the movie. But since I am a fan of Angelina Jolie, her performance must be appreciated. I think anyone who watches this movie can't help but admire Jolie. She is referred to as the Goddess of War Thena in Greek mythology. And in one action scene, the brilliance of that Warlady on her face seemed to amaze everyone. Besides, the two characters that I especially like are Druig and Makkari. Druig is basically a mind controller, but there is an internal conflict between him that always has the ability to eliminate the hatred between people, but he is not allowed to do that, which is why so many lives have to be seen in front of the eyes. Makkari is a speedster that can't hear or speak.

Her presence brings a heart-warming feeling to the story. Also, Ikaris, Sersei, Ajak, Kingo, Gilgamesh, Phastos, Sprite all have their own roles in the story and the cast members behind them have done a great job. Originally the story sought to establish Sersei as a competent and powerful leader and was able to do more or less, but Sersei's character still needed some more self-discovery. I found him a bit confused almost all the time. Ajak is not shown in the story so much that the investment towards him seems low. However, the attachment of everyone else with him has shown quite well.

Throughout the movie, a family bonding vibe can be noticed which seems to be very effective. The use of humor and comedy in the movie was great and there was the background music to match the scene. One thing, however, is that the story is not so deep that the movie may seem extra long at runtime. Another point is that although each character is well presented, there is a potential for better presentation if the story were to be a series.

I didn't feel this way myself at first after watching the movie, but later on, I heard from someone that it really seemed that so many characters could be introduced more deeply through the series. I find Karun, the character used as comic relief in the story, very annoying. In some places, of course, the movie became a typical superhero movie, but that's all I had already.

All in all, I really like the movie Eternals. So I recommend everyone to watch the movie. I went to the movie hall and saw it, so the fun on the big screen contributed to the movie experience. The movie has two very important and surprising credit scenes which give a lot of ideas about the next Marvel projects. I hope you like the movie and enjoy it.
