Bummer. What a streak to break.

If it was a DCEU movie it would only be beating Justice League, BvS and Suicide Squad. It would rank 10th overall.

An ambitious superhero epic that soars as often as it strains, Eternals takes the MCU in intriguing -- and occasionally confounding


At least it seems to be because it was ambitious rather than paint by number? I can have some more respect for a film that tried something weird and failed rather than one that tried to do the same as all the others and screwed up. Not that either would be the greatest to watch.

When the critics are the ones giving you shit ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, you know you are fucked. The director was such a miscast for this type of film, like John Wayne was to Genghis Khan.

No, that was Inhumans. Or at least what they tried to make Inhumans into back when they didn't have the X-Men movie rights.

Isn't it usually audience scores that do the review bombing? I don't think RT has allowed audience scores yet.

Yeah I haven't seen it yet but there's no way it's worse than Iron Man 3 and also Thor 2 was great.

I've never met someone that didn't like Thor 3 but thinks Thor 2 is great.

I'm curious to hear your thoughts on both. I don't mean that in a combative sense. Genuinely curious.

I'm curious to hear your thoughts on both.

Thor 3 was trash and Thor 2 was great and below is my justification but I'm not really going to write a huge analysis. It's just my opinion.

Thor 2:
  • This was the first MCU movie of real consequence with the death of Frigg and the associated emotional stakes. Captain America technically happened first but we all knew Bucky was going to be back.
  • The characterization of Loki was the strongest point of the movie. Thor 1 and subsequently Avengers painted him as 1 dimensional filled mostly with jealousy and envy. Thor 2 flipped that around completely and gave him real depth and made him feel more like a real person.
  • The action sequences felt dynamic and gritty and there was a lot more of them. The biggest complaint I had with Thor 1 was how boring the movie was as most of the fighting happened in the beginning with the Giants. Thor 2 addressed that.
By comparison Thor 3:
  • Flanderized Loki not entirely unlike what they did to Finn in Star Wars. His behavior in the beginning of the third movie also directly contradicts him at the end of the second movie and essentially completely dropped the hanging plot thread of Loki impersonating Odin.
  • The action was mostly slapstick comedy. Everything from that stupid shit Valkyrie stuck in Thor's neck to the hulk fights was treated like a joke and that rock dude only served to completely devalue any seriousness of the movie. It feels like a bait and switch comedy movie after watching the first two.
  • I'd also like to add that the plot of the movie itself is stupid. Cate was hot and did a good job acting but that is really the only nice thing I have to say about the movie.

It is. And Thor 3 is pretty much bottom tier MCU

I can respect the points you made.

Though I still heavily disagree with the overall conclusion. To be fair, Thor 2 did have a lot of elements I liked though.

Just look at my name.

Speaking of the Thor 2/3 issue, I agree completely with being disappointed by the handling of the situation in his first spoiler tag. That could have gone a lot of places but they basically threw it out for a quick gag.
