It's been one year since the most polarizing #MCU movie hit theaters, so I decided to finally watch it and give my thoughts.
Academy Award winning director Chloé Zhao helms this film, and it's clear she's an Oscar winner for a reason. While the visual of the #Eternals are superb, the tonal differences in this entry from the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as well as the script's structure has led to this film being the lowest ranked MCU film on Rotten Tomatoes to date. But is it worth the hate?
From Wikipedia:
In 5000 BC, ten superpowered Eternals—Ajak, Sersi, Ikaris, Kingo, Sprite, Phastos, Makkari, Druig, Gilgamesh, and Thena—are sent by the Celestial Arishem to Earth on their starship, the Domo, to exterminate the invasive Deviants. The last Deviants are apparently killed in 1521, when the group's opinions differ over their continued relationship with humankind. Over the next five hundred years they mostly live apart, waiting for Arishem's orders.

P.S. Would this have made my Top 10 Movies of 2021 list? I don't know, but that list is still 100% factually correct and disagreeing with it is forbidden by law.
