    Sounds like The Eternals isn't quite a legit winner. Exposition heavy and that Zhao's sensibilities as a director kinda clash with the tropes of a superhero flick.

    Well we can't have it both ways.. It's either raved about pre-release (Black Widow, Shang Chi) or a slog (Eternals).

    The reality is they are all probably just 'meh' in pre-release-reviews. .

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    Sorry, where are you reading this?

    All the reviews I have read have been almost entirely positive, only citing that it overreaches a bit with its cosmic third act.

    It's supposed to be visually astounding, and very well acted.

    It's sitting at 72% on RT, which is of course not the highest MCU score, but still good.

    A few reviews seemed to be saying that, I haven't read more than a handful of them to be honest, but I didn't mean to say the movie was a total loss, just that expectations should perhaps be lowered a bit. Let's just watch it and make up our own minds.

    That would land it as the second-worst Marvel movie by RT standards, I think.

    EDIT: Just checked - third worst, after Thor 2 and The Incredible Hulk.
