Eternals | Marvel Studios | Nov 5 2021 | Magnum-Opus by Oscar winner Chloe Zhao - Marvel's first rotten movie | Dips into the 40s on RT, B CinemaScore

I get meltdowns but making Eternals Under SC Club because of MC/RT takes the cake. Yeah we are all returning tickets now. 

 

Never change BOT. 

[Saul Goodman]

 Now I finally get the Zack Snyder-like MCU movie comparison. 🤣

If Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close can make it, anything fucking can.

Well, I do presume it's a DOM total club, and not an OW one, so it's more a discussion about reception/WOM.

Angelina Jolie continues to star in bad reviewed movies. She just can't catch a break.

[SpiderByte]

Your people's standards for "bad reviewed" are absolutely ludicrous. Why meltdowns for this and not shit like Venom?

[DlAMONDZ]

Jon Watts redeemed!

One word: Expectations. You expect the Kid in class who eats glue to get a F. But a honor roll kid? Same idea.

Venom was expected to be bad. It’s a dumb campy superhero comedy 

 

People here were convinced Eternals was a BP nominee and Chloe Zhao would make the most epic and acclaimed film since BP. The MCU is generally very consistent too with solid reviews… this is doing worse than even Black Widow

What planet is getting between 60-70 % an F

Seeing a lot of ''critics'' complaining it doesn't have too many jokes...lmao

In a lot of schools, lol. Though the letter grading system that most people use for movies seems almost completely divorced from its origin in school grades. 

[TestPattern]

This isn't a mark against Chloé Zhao, but I've never had so much schadenfreude than I have right now.

Eternals isn't getting an F though, or even close to Venoms reviews, but people are acting like it's the worst reviewed superhero movie ever.

[ThomasNicole]

I see no difference saying that the movie would be a BP nominee or saying 71% is a disaster.

 

Reviews are decent, not great, not terrible, that's it.

Of course they do, why wouldn't they?

I was just about to say, this movie got slapped with the Angelina Jolie curse.

The same one where a "B+" Cinemascore is considered a failure.  That's Hollywood, baby...

 

In most Grad Schools, getting a "B" in classes is also more like getting a "C."   

[SpiderByte]

People acting like mixed/middling reviews are going to kill presales and refund tickets. This'll still likely be the biggest DOM release till Spider-Man.
