MARVEL GAY SEX SCENE MOVIE
Still, while the movie has been pretty much panned, I can’t bring myself to condemn it. There are also gratuitous shots of Richard Madden’s perfect mug, so handsome it should be considered one of the new wonders of the world.Īnd then there’s the not-so-great stuff, like the film’s tedious dialogue, muddled script, and long runtime (2 hours and 37 minutes). The way Zhao deftly captures landscapes in their natural beauty is mesmerizing, a visual sensibility that translates even to CGI renderings of long-lost structures, like an overhead shot of ancient Babylon highlighting the Hanging Gardens, or Teotihuacán during its heyday. Eternals is visually arresting, as expected from director Chloé Zhao she helmed both 2017’s The Rider and Nomadland, this year’s Best Picture winner at the Oscars. It sticks out, in ways good and bad, when considered alongside the other films Marvel has churned out over the past decade. You get the action-packed sequences but not the benefits of more popular characters.
The movie is magnificent to look at but not deep. There are flashes of the things that make a Marvel film great, along with earnest scenes designed to push the MCU into new territory - worthy efforts that fall flat.
When you prepare to watch a Marvel film, there are usually a few things you can expect: good-looking superheroes wearing exquisite costumes unbelievably devious villains a soaring, triumphant score and memorable quotes like “ that’s America’s ass.” Even when it focuses on lesser-known characters, like the recently released Shang-Chi, people flock to the theater because they know Marvel will deliver a great cinematic experience, complete with emotional story arcs and amazing action sequences.īut Eternals, out today, is disappointing.
