But even the \u201cpositive\u201d reviews seem grudging. Here\u2019s an example of a \u201cpositive\u201d review <a href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/movies\/movie-reviews\/eternals-marvel-movie-review\/\">from<\/a> the left-wing loons at <em>Entertainment Weekly:<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"10\">\n<p>The looping flashback structure and relaxed, intimate pacing has the odd effect of making the fate of the free world feel a lot less urgent than it probably should; the movie frequently comes off less like a standard MCU tentpole than a metaphysical family drama whose black sheep just happens to be Thanos. That probably won\u2019t thrill a lot of fans who come for the wham-bam deluge of intergalactic battlefields and Infinity Stones, even though there\u2019s more than enough byzantine mythology and noisy CG battles in its 2-hour-and-37-minute runtime.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Same from left-wing <em><a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2021\/film\/reviews\/eternals-review-chloe-zhao-gemma-chan-salma-hayek-1235093219\/\">Variety<\/a><\/em>:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"14\">\n<p>Can they come together to defend their adopted home? The suspense will not be killing you, though the final battle summons aspects of grandeur. To me, there are three top-tier team superhero movies: the first \u201cGuardians of the Galaxy,\u201d \u201cZack Snyder\u2019s Justice League,\u201d and \u201cAvengers: Infinity War.\u201d \u201cEternals\u201d is a fluid and sometimes bedazzling entertainment I\u2019d place on the next tier, because it never transcends its conventionality and makes you go \u201cDamn!\u201d Maybe next time, Zhao can raise the stakes on the heroic vibes by mixing in a drop of nomad reality.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>But there are a lot of reviews from left-wing publications that are more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiewire.com\/2021\/10\/eternals-review-mcu-1234673515\/\">like this<\/a>:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<blockquote readability=\"8\">\n<p>Its idea of conflict is still characters barking platitudes at each other (here rehashing an intergalactic version of the same trolley problem that antagonized Iron Man against Captain America in \u201cCivil War\u201d). Its idea of resolution is still having those characters fly around and shoot finger lights at stuff in a way that never fools your brain into believing the physical reality of what you\u2019re watching.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>And <a href=\"https:\/\/datebook.sfchronicle.com\/movies-tv\/review-with-eternals-marvel-is-scraping-the-bottom-of-the-barrel\">this<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"11\">\n<p>However, Zhao does good by diversifying the casting and the characters \u2014 there\u2019s a gay Eternal (Brian Tyree Henry); a deaf Eternal (played by deaf actress Lauren Ridloff); and three Asian Eternals played by&nbsp;Kumail Nanjiani, Don Lee and&nbsp;Gemma Chan. And the inclusion is welcome, which makes \u201cEternals\u201d a virtuous production. But that\u2019s not the same as a good movie.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>And <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/movies\/movie-reviews\/eternals-review-1247393\/\">this<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"12\">\n<p><strong>The Hot Gods of \u2018Eternals\u2019 Will Bore You to Death With Their Feelings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yet even when the Eternals fight amongst themselves, they\u2019re boring about it.&nbsp;<em>Eternals<\/em>&nbsp;is so busy showing off what it can do, where it can go, that it bypasses and overlooks what it really has to offer.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>How many hundreds of TV shows and movies have we seen win unearned critical praise due only to their woke credentials? If something hits their left-wing sweet spots, critics almost always try to sucker us into wasting our time and money on objectively terrible movies and TV shows that push the correct political message. Disney especially gets a pass because everyone wants Disney to like them. So, let me repeat: <em>Eternals <\/em>must stink like a dead fish to earn reviews like these.<\/p>\n<p>This is not a good sign for Marvel.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget that Disney already screwed the pooch with the <em>Star Wars<\/em> film franchise. Terrible storytelling combined with woketardery sunk that baby. That leaves Marvel, &nbsp;the true jewel in Disney\u2019s movie crown. If Marvel sinks\u2026 Well, let me just say that Robert Downey Jr. might want to prepare himself for a $100 million paycheck to return as Tony Stark.<\/p>\n<p>Woke is a violation of human nature, which makes it a lie, and you cannot craft art from lies.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Follow John Nolte on Twitter <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NolteNC\"><strong><em>@NolteNC<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong>. <em>Follow his Facebook Page <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/JohnNolteNC\/?skip_nax_wizard=true\"><strong><em>here<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marvel\u2019s upcoming Eternals has earned, to say the least, unenthusiastic reviews, and when you consider all the factors involved, that tells you this sucker must really stink.
