The world premeire of The Eternals was last night. And here is what people are saying about it right out of the theater:
There were critics who seemed to really enjoy the film:
Our writers @AndrewJ626 & @BecomingFelicia saw #Eternals and here are their brief thoughts…

“Gemma Chan & Richard Madden's romantic chemistry drives the movie.” – Andrew
“Chloé Zhao crafts a rich Marvel epic fantasy.” – Ashley
“The most lore-heavy MCU film to date.” – Andrew pic.twitter.com/TFD0JsTXgc
Eternals is a groundbreaking Marvel spectacle, and the biggest game-changer since Avengers Endgame.

Chloe Zhao brings a daring sense of scale to the MCU. If you love world-building, Eternals shows you how it’s done. Literally.
Can’t wait to see #Eternals again on opening night!
#Eternals was not what I expected at all, but in the best way! It went where no MCU film has gone before. The best way I could describe it is an epic fantasy ala Ben-Hur. https://t.co/Qh33IHYd0t

But other critics…didn’t seem to enjoy it as much:
Okay wow… I'm going to make another tweet but #Eternals is A LOT.

Without exaggeration it is the most plot heavy mcu film and it definitely *feels* like the longest. What I will say now is:
– Legit LGBTQ rep
– Legit sexual tension
– Does not feel like it's on autopilot https://t.co/FY8b2gIb9m
#Eternals is the most un-#MCU film to date – so much so that it feels like a different franchise!

Very interested to see how #Marvel fans react to that… 🤔
My faves:#RichardMadden #AngelinaJolie#KumailNanjiani
