Immediate Response: Eternals (2021)

 After waiting a bit, I might as well get to this one before the Internet SPOILS it all for me...

The Good

* The Film is big and grand in scale.

* While it has Action, it is much more about heart.  Yes, it's a cliché, but it is true here.

* The huge Cast all has a moment or two to really flesh out a Character that could otherwise be just another body in an Action Scene.

* The Film puts all of its Budget on-screen, feeling like a Film that cost even more than it does.

* The Story- while fractured in an artistic way- does give you a beginning, middle and end for Character Arcs, which is impressive when you remember that they start out with TEN Eternals.

* Post Credits are worth staying for.  That's all I'll say.

The Bad

* The Film is quite dense when you break down the subject material and no amount of single Film primer is going to be quite enough for many people/some audiences.
* The Film packs alot of backstory and Plot into its runtime.
* It's arguably the most dense Sci-Fi-leaning Film in the MCU, so that's going to affect the market.
* So much of this feels like an MCU version of the Justice League (Ikaris is Superman, Thena is WW, etc), so good luck for the Squadron Supreme in the MCU (if it ever happens).

All in all, the Film is long and dense.  I didn't find it to be a slog, but clearly some people have.
