Marvel Studios producer Victoria Alonso previously brushed off the negative reviews of Eternals. “We have tried to stir it up and sometimes the critics are not with us. That’s OK. That’s OK…,” Alonso said at the Outfest Legacy Awards. “We thank you for being a critic. We thank you for writing about us. And the fans will decide.”
Eternals earned a four-out-of-five review score from ComicBook.com’s Jamie Jirak. “Eternals will likely be one of the more divisive films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe,” she wrote. “The strong characters and visuals will be enough for some fans to consider it one of the best of the franchise while others will find its messy plot and extended runtime a hard pill to swallow. No matter how you feel about Eternals, there’s no denying Phase Four is off to an exciting start.”
Marvel Studios’ Eternals introduces a new group of heroes to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. These ancient aliens have lived on Earth in secret for thousands of years.
