Rotten Tomatoes critic reviews are in for Eternals and initial responses aren’t looking good. At just 64% right now, Chloé Zhao‘s ambitious Phase 4 project has taken the title for the lowest-rated Marvel Studios film on the platform, falling just below 2013’s Thor: The Dark World and its 66% rating. Many reviews criticized the film’s attempt to include too much into its plot, resulting in a dense but less than captivating movie. “Eternals is so busy showing off what it can do, where it can go, that it bypasses and overlooks what it really has to offer,” reads one comment, while others said it was “at once bloated and rushed” and that “the story and storytelling simply didn’t match the film’s ambitions.” Of course, Rotten Tomatoes reviews are often just a reference point for ...

Kit Harington recently spoke about his experience working on the MCU film Eternals, directed by Chloé Zhao and revealed how he felt quite surprised to have filmed shots on location.

Harington praised Zhao in her direction sharing, “The interesting thing about Thrones is that it was so location-based. We shot so much not on a sound stage. And I expected with a Marvel movie to be in a sound stage the whole time, and all of my stuff was on location. So that was a real gift and that was Chloe. You asked how i...
