“Eternals” (** out of four) was a sputtering Marvel comic book adaptation about the title characters the Eternals (Gemma Chan, Richard Madden, Kumail Nanjiani, and others) who are ancient aliens who have been living on Earth in secret for thousands of years and are reunited by a tragedy within and have to reunite to do battle with their ancient villains The Deviants. Action scenes and CGI/visual effects deliver the goods but the characters themselves are one-note and dull and story is weak so film overall feels hollow and empty. Final battle is pretty spectacular but by that point- film starts to feel eternally long. Not one of Marvel’s better comic-book adaptations although fans of the original comic book may like this better.
