Eternals is now available to stream on Disney+ Hotstar. This superhero film features characters that were unseen before the MCU.
It has a huge assemblage of stars that also includes one of the biggest stars of Hollywood, Angelina Jolie. The others are Gemma Chan, Richard Madden, Kumail Nanjiani, Lia McHugh, Brian Tyree Henry, Lauren Ridloff, Barry Keoghan, Don Lee, Harish Patel, Kit Harington and Salma Hayek.
Chloé Zhao directed this mega project.
When the film was announced in 2018, then fans were extremely hopeful of the great assemblage and the story it brings.
But soon after it was released, it became the worst-rated Marvel movie on Rotten Tomatoes.
The Eternals has a big star cast and the screenplay does justice to all of them. Anyone has not been glorified over others.
We all are aware of how big a superstar Angelina Jolie is, still, her screen space is not prominent enough and she gets lost in the film.
Salma Hayek is another actress who is a very big name. Still, she is hardly noticeable more than anyone else in the film.
Richard Madden and Kit Harington were prominent faces from the ultra legendary series Game Of Thrones. We were aware of their capability as an actor but just like Jolie and Hayek, they get lost.
The film should have been either longer or a smaller cast. No character gets the time to fully develop so that they could impress us as an audience.
So, The Eternals is certainly not the film that you should spend your time watching unless you are a die-hard Marvel fan.
The screenplay is extremely poor and completely destroys the experience.
