Eternals


Quick Review :

Eternals-The latest movie from the Marvel universe is a star studded disappointment. 


The immortal super hero group made up of top of the line actors ( Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek, Gemma Chan, Richard Madden, Kumail Nanjiani, Lia McHugh, Brian Tyree Henry, Lauren Ridloff, Barry Keoghan, Don Lee, Kit Harrington)  together or individually fail to standout. 


Marvels long array of Eternal characters of all diversity, race, color, gender, sexuality with lack of individuality & depth built in (irrespective of 2 1/2 hrs long movie ) fail to make any super hero character memorable. 


To add to the absurdity of the script, there is also a horrendously choreographed silly Bollywood dance number with Kumail Nanjiani! 


Lastly have to say, Zhao, the Oscar winning director of Nomadlad may have been the wrong director for a superhero genre!
