Part 4/10:
Comic Book Resources (CBR) likened Eternals to a "bad DC movie" with its cluttered narrative, too many super-powered characters, and slow pacing. They suggested that the film attempted to introduce so many characters simultaneously that it ultimately failed to establish a compelling story.
Forbes wrote that Eternals "always seemed like a risk" given the underwhelming source material and less-than-inspiring characters. They highlighted how the film currently ranks among the lowest-rated MCU movies on Rotten Tomatoes, with a 71% score based on early reviews—an unusually low figure considering typical Marvel standards.
