After watching “Scream” movies all week and going to see the new one in theaters this morning, which was fun and on brand, I watched “Eternals” tonight. I haven’t been that disappointed and pissed off since “Batman vs Superman” and “Justice League.”
It failed in just about every way. It was poorly written, acted and directed. It also had the worst lighting of any comic book movie I’ve ever seen. Save for Angelina Jolie, who was completely wasted in her role, there isn’t a genuine movie star in this f#%ker and it may as well have been a mini series on ABC. I mean, isn’t that the Disney owned network where mediocre shows go to die?
Perhaps Marvel didn’t want to invest the time and money building it up like they did the Avengers over a decade. It was a huge mistake. This one just sucks and I’ll probably never sit through it again. I wasn’t wrong to be concerned after the initial trailer. They tried to pump it up later, but you can only put so much lipstick on a pig. It’s time to butcher this pricey hog. Next!
