Eternals Rotten Tomatoes watch thread

Only 1 pt higher than TIH and 2 higher than TDW. Though granted, this movie still probably has another like....300 reviews before all is said and done
 
I am thinking this will end up with the lowest RT score of the MCU given current trending direction.

Does that make me less excited for the film? Absolutely not. I say this all the time, I am not concerned with RT scores. I care more about what people think. Why did they like/dislike the film, etc. But ultimately for me, the film always will speak for itself. All I am seeing right now is the film is fairly divisive, which is new for the MCU. But divisive doesn't make it bad. So next Friday night is when Eternals will have its day in court, and the chips will fall wherever they may. But it's RT percentage will have precisely 0% to do with however much I like the movie or not.

But I know many others won't have that same patience. Already seeing people trying to make Chloe into Josh Trank and calling this a mistake in these very threads. If you are like @TheVileOne and you have seen the movie, that is one thing. If you hated it, you hated it and that is fair. But people calling it a mistake before watching it, that is the stuff that irks me mode. Watch the film and have an informed opinion before we declare this a failure. That and let's see what BO receipts look like.
 
That siXty siX percent that doesn't look good....

The RT streak of the MCU will be Eternally broken soon!!!
 
Meanwhile on IMDB, this movie has on top with s***storm for being diverse.

Eternals (2021) - User ratings - IMDb

A little sample:

Totally unrecognizable from the comics. All it does is tick all the Hollywood Woke boxes. Which seems to be the goal. Not storytelling. But that's hardly surprising these days. Don't waste your money. It's not worth it.

This movie is trying so hard to be politically correct and woke there is no need to mention a male character having a husband. Who are they trying to cater to? Just stick to making action movies that we can enjoy not shoving and agenda down our throats.
 
If I had $5 for every movie critics trashed, that I liked, plus every movie critics praised, which I couldn't stand, I'd have $200 in my pocket, right now.
 
Top 3 worst rated MCU movies:

1. Eternals - 65%
2. Thor: The Dark World - 66%
3. The Incredible Hulk - 67%

The RT score is actually increasing my anticipation for the film lol.
 
Never in a million years did anyone expect a Chloe Zhao superhero movie to be released in the same year as a Snyder superhero movie and actually get the worse reviews out of the two.

It’s like we’re living in an upside down world. :funny:

Sucks to see the reaction, hope I like it

More importantly I hope this doesn't stop MS from trying new things.
 
I’m a bit shell shocked with this reception.
The worst rated MCU movie is a big deal. Dethroning TDW is a landmark. I’m interested in giving Eternals a watch and still have a hard time thinking it’s on that lower tier of MCU movies.

From what I’ve seen of Eternals it doesn’t look great but it doesn’t look that bad either. Whenever I get around to watching it I’ll give my 2 cents about it.

This would be my biggest worry. But I don't think the RT meter will determine that. We have to see those BO receipts! Money is what talks in thus business
 
The only thing that annoys me about the relatively low score is that we'll get a bajillion think pieces asking if superhero fatigue is finally here.
 
Also a ton of YT videos declaring this a victory against Hollywood's Woke Agenda or some crap
 
Uggh yall are so right

who sees a cute scene of a kid geeking out about a superhero and thinks “godd*** woke agenda! How dare this kid have two dads!”

those people got some weird hangups
 
Back down to 65%(84 reviews). This film’s RT score has been one heckuva of a rollercoaster, I’m more in suspense about whether this movie ends up rotten or barely fresh than I am with most thriller movies I see. :funny:
