Most of that 51% of critics who rated it fresh are mixed rather than outright liking it; a lot of the fresh reviews are still very and critical and negative of it as a film and considering it’s literally two percentage points away from being 49% with the possibility of it going down as more bad reviews keep coming I’m not sure the claim that most critics “like” Eternals is true. It’s average critics rating is 5.70. That isn’t good.
He is going by is the number not what type of review it is and that what folks see first and count the most.
Those mixed reviews you say is still counted as fresh and it's counted as most critics liking it.
Anyway it's at 50%,so half the critics who like it so far.
Translated to the star system that is-
2 1/2 is 5.0 to 5.4 - so/so
Eternals is true. It’s average critics rating is 5.70. That isn’t good.
This is the star system.You could see on the RT info.

3 1/2 stars -6.5 to 7.4 -very good
4 stars-7.5 to 8.4 -great
4 1/2 stars 8.5 to 9.4 - really great

That's good but not very good.
