Marvel Studios' Eternals

Kingo, Gilgamesh, Thena, Ajak, Makkari, Sprite, Sersi, Druig, Ikaris, and Phastos. These ten immortal beings are known as the Eternals and they're known to watch how the earth unfolds following the events of the Infinity War. Starring Salma Hayek, Angelina Jolie, and Kumail Nanjiani, among many others, this movie pits these immortals against the wrath of the Deviants plotting to alter the timeline and the Celestials who created them.

Unlike the MCU power hits, Eternals is less on thrills and action and more on drama, which truly cramps its style as a superhero movie. Although there are almost no sweet spots to nail moviegoers like a real Marvel superhero movie, the storytelling really connects the current phase of the MCU that was spearheaded by the previous Marvel movie, Shang-Chi. Despite being an ambitious big-budget masterpiece like every superhero movie should, it feels more of a cheese-fest and lacks the explosive feel moviegoers need but it's still a good movie to enjoy.

Although being a cheese-fest for an MCU installment with a bountiful of unanswered questions, this movie is sensible, dramatic, and thought-provoking in every way. No matter the outcome, this movie truly connects with the current phase of the MCU franchise, and expect more things to come from this franchise after Eternals.
