What are your thoughts on the MCU's latest movie, feel free to share, and discuss.

RS:
I liked it; but I haven’t seen that many marvel movies. My friends who’ve seen more seemed disappointed.

JohnNotJack:
I think the general consensus that I'll agree with is... It was disappointing. There was so much potential in the plot but it felt like a jumbled mess with too much going on, the characters felt underdeveloped because there was too many characters to be able to focus on the individual aspects of the characters. It was like watching an Avengers-level film before you've watched any of the individual character's films.

I liked it too, well I really really liked it, maybe more than liked it. And well I seen most of them.

I am sorry to hear that you didn't have a good experience with it. And I will agree, some characters really felt underdeveloped. I think what this movie needed was more runtime in my opinion. And I mean... there is no way you are going to be able to fully flesh out 10 characters in one movie, so it is kinda understandable. And yeah well, I don't think we needed individual character films for each of the Eternals but I agree with you on that last part

More runtime!? It already felt way too long at 2 hours and 47 minutes of runtime! Haha.

The only ways around it in my eyes would've been do to do some introductory films (or shows, hey, Marvel seems to be loving to do TV shows right now) featuring stories from the lives of the individual characters, to get more better character development. Or they could've split it up into two films, which would've been... Rather disappointing in of itself.
