Eternals

 Dangrdafne review 

I didn’t hate it. I didn’t love it. In the end I was grateful for the famous actors in the movie as that helped keep me interested as I enjoyed watching them portray their characters. 

I liked the overall themes of the movie and found it interesting in how it fits into the MCU. 

 

I am enjoying seeing the reactions of my various friends online as they watch this movie. It definitely is not getting much love at all. I am not surprised. My first reaction was to the length of the movie before it even started :) And then during it too. There is so much extra that they could have left on the cutting room floor and the movie would have flowed much better. I even liked one friend's suggestion that this should have been a series instead of a movie and I 100% agree. Just too much in all ways. 

 

Gemma Chan is excellent as Sersi as is Laren Ridloff as Makkari. Ma Dong-seok had my heart though as Gilgamesh as did Harish Patel as Karun. I was too distracted by Ikaris looking like The Winter Soldier and then looking also like Dane in the movie :) Angelina Jolie and Salma Hayek definitely can now cross "superheros" of their to do lists and they were very good in their roles.

If you are an MCU completist, as I am, you should watch Eternals. If you are just looking for something to watch tonight, I would pick something else :)
