Chloe
Zhao's
anticipated
MCU
film
Eternals'
is
all
set
to
release
on
November
5.
The
makers
held
the
film's
world
premiere
in
LA
and
the
early
reviews
of
the
film
are
finally
out.
Eternals
stars
an
ensemble
of
talented
actors
including,
Gemma
Chan,
Richard
Madden,
Kumail
Nanjiani,
Lia
McHugh,
Brian
Tyree
Henry,
Lauren
Ridloff,
Barry
Keoghan,
Don
Lee,
Harish
Patel,
Kit
Harington,
Salma
Hayek,
and
Angelina
Jolie
star
in
the
film.
The
film
follows
the
titular
group
who
have
been
living
on
earth
for
the
past
7,000
years.
Created
by
cosmic
beings
called
Celestials,
the
Eternals
have
been
sent
to
Earth
to
safeguard
the
planet
from
their
evil
counterparts
Deviants.
While
the
film's
early
reactions
were
love-filled
for
the
cast
and
the
makers,
there
have
been
a
few
mixed
reviews,
however,
many
have
enjoyed
the
multi-starrer
film.
The
Guardian's
Steve
Rose
wrote,
"There's
just
too
much
going
on:
it's
all
headed
towards
yet
another
"race
against
time
to
stop
the
really
bad
thing
happening" climax.
It's
not
exactly
boring
-
there's
always
something
new
to
behold
-
but
nor
it
is
particularly
exciting,
and
it
lacks
the
breezy
wit
of
Marvel's
best
movies."
Meanwhile,
Joshua
Rivera
from
Polygon
called
the
Marvel
movie
a
'mess'
and
said
that
Eternals
'isn't
bold,
merely
incongruous.'
The
Daily
Telegraph's
Robbie
Collin
said
the
film
is
"constantly
engaged
in
a
kind
of
grit-toothed
authenticity
theatre,
going
out
of
its
way
to
show
you
it's
doing
all
the
things
proper
cinema
does,
even
though
none
of
them
bring
any
discernible
benefit
whatsoever
to
the
film
at
hand."
The
Playlist's
Rodrigo
Perez
has
a
negative
review
for
the
film.
He
wrote,
"A
convoluted
cosmic
misfire
and
one
of
Marvel's
dullest
efforts
in
years." BCC
reviewer
Nicholas
Barber
also
unimpressed,
he
said,
"Eternals
may
not
be
the
worst
of
Marvel's
movies,
but
it's
undoubtedly
the
most
disappointing."
