I don't know if you recently watched the third movie of Marvel's fourth phase, that is, "Eternals". This may be the lowest evaluation in Marvel, the Douban score is not high, and the Rotten Tomatoes index can only be said to be average.
However, his lineup can be said to be very luxurious, starring Jama Chen, Angelina Jolie, Ma Dongxi, etc., because this film is more controversial, but personally have always liked Ma Dongxi's actor, so I found this movie on the Internet to watch, but the look and feel is really not good, overall on the two words "empty".
The film tells the story of the Eternals who were sent to Earth 7,000 years ago by the Celestial Arisamus to kill the Mutants on Earth and protect humanity.
The film uses flashback descriptions, and the overall feeling is interspersed with two timelines, one is how the Eternals have helped humans and eliminate the mutants over the past 7,000 years, and the other is what is happening in time now, and time continues to pass.
It starts with the protagonist group, with 10 Eternals coming to Earth to help them protect them from the Mutants: Ajak, Cersei, Icaris, Golden Fruit, Macari, Fastus, Spike, Gilgamesh, Druid, and Tina. They each have different abilities.
By now, Cersei has become a teacher and has a boyfriend, and in the middle of teaching, there is a sudden earthquake, Cersei uses her ability to turn a large stone into powder, at this time Cersei has not yet realized that things are not good. In the evening, Spike, Cersei, and their boyfriend are on their way home from the bar when they encounter a mutant who is long overdue, Cersei and Spike are not rivals, and finally Icaris suddenly appears to beat him away.
By this time they had noticed that things were not good and decided that he was looking for someone else. Originally, in the past, they eliminated the mutants, protected human beings, and helped them develop, but with the continuous development of human beings, killing, civil strife, and cannibalism became more and more intense. After they killed the mutants once, Tina's memory was overwhelmed, she suffered from eternal magic, and kept shooting at those around her, eventually fainting under the punch of my god Ma Dong Xi (Gilgamesh).
Ajak decides to send Tina to Arisom to erase her memories, but then the Druid's long-simmering discontent erupts, so why believe you? He looked at the 7,000 years of human slaughter, obviously can be stopped, do you know the impact on a person for thousands of years?
The Druid then took control of the humans and stopped fighting, and then left. Gilgamesh chose to guard Tina so that she didn't have to erase her memories. Ajak also allowed everyone to live their own lives.
Back in time, the three Cersei find Ajak, and as a result, she is dead, and they also know that the mutants had the ability to heal themselves, which should be the ability to absorb Ajak. The magic artifact that Ajak connected with Alitham entered Cersei's body, proving that Cersei became the second leader of the Eternals.
They continued to search for the other members, first to find Jinguo, who was an actor in India, then to Gilgamesh and Tina, where we saw the lovely Uncle Ma, and then they went to the Amazon to find the Druid, where they were attacked by the mutants, and Gilgamesh received a box lunch here. My god Ma Dong-seok is gone. Fastos and the last Macari were found.
At this point, the members are assembled, and the main line begins.
In the communication between Cersei and Alisem, it was known that their Eternals and Mutants were both the products of the creation of the Celestial Clan, and as a result, the Mutants were out of control and out of control, and the Eternals were created to eliminate the Mutants. Because every billion years a new Celestial Being is born from a planet, and this time it's Earth. The birth of the Celestial Clan requires a large number of intelligent creatures, and the Mutant Clan is a roadblock that hinders the birth of the Celestial Clan, so there is the Eternal Clan to destroy it. The birth of the Celestial Clan will lead to the death of all human beings and the destruction of the earth.
Cersei, not wanting humanity to be destroyed, decided to prevent the gods from appearing. Fastos came up with a way to unify the mind, concentrating everyone's strength on one person. But one of them, Icaris, was on the opposite side of everyone, and then he left, and Spike followed, he already knew the orders of the gods, and chose to carry them out, Ajak was originally killed by him, because Ajak was baptized in time to prevent the gods from appearing. This turned the Eternals' attention to the Mutants.
Macari finds the location of the Celestial Clan Tyam, and on the day of the Divine Presence, Icaris defeats the Druid who has used his mind to prevent the Divine Appearance.
What follows is a battle between Icaris and the crowd, and Cersei goes alone to stop the gods from appearing. Icaris finds Cersei, who is freezing, after highlighting the siege of the crowd, only to find Ica not to get his hands on it because he loves Cersei. Eventually Cersei succeeded in stopping the god from appearing.
Yes, it ended so abruptly. Among them, Tina kills the mutants, Spike stabs Cersei, and is knocked unconscious by the Druid.
The whole movie is always boring to watch, not like the previous Marvel films, it feels wonderful and smooth.
There are so many things that the Eternals want to express, deaf and dumb, gay, Asian, black and various symbols.
The one that impressed me the most was the scene where black people knelt because of the atomic bombing of Japan. What is this for? Antiwar? If it weren't for the atomic bomb, I don't know how long World War II would have lasted.
The director is obviously a Chinese, can you think of Japan being bombed by the atomic bomb and kneeling, can not think of the Chinese people at that time by the Japanese invasion of the tragic situation? Also kneel, go to yours. The most important thing is to let black people kneel, originally black people are very controversial, I really don't know how to think.
And watching Marvel personally is to watch those special effects, playing, making people feel very hot. But this fight scene is really pulling the crotch.
There are ten Eternals in total, but the director always wants to give each character a certain focus on the scene, and in the end it always feels like four is different. However, this Cersei can still see that it is the heroine, but it is not prominent enough, the image is not full enough, but why is Cersei the protagonist, Tina's image is more in line with the heroine.
In terms of plot, too, the mutants absorbed Gilgamesh's power without any wisdom, and as a result, they were so easily deceived and killed by Tina in the back. And the hand of the Celestial Clan in the back is a tribute to the Five Finger Mountain?
In addition, in order to carry out the orders of the Celestial Clan, Icaris even had to kill Ajak, and the Druid was also killed in the back. But in the end, he couldn't get his hands on Cersei. At this time, I had a big question mark, and the result was that love was more expensive.
The key thing is that this flashback is not used very well, and there is always a sense of abruptness. Suddenly going back to the past, and suddenly going back to the present, the plot is always very unsmooth feeling.
Originally, the director may have wanted to express the marginalized people, racism, man and nature, love, etc., but the results are all superficial, all on the line preaching.
It may be that the director's ambitions are too big, and he wants to perform, but the result is such a waste film, but Marvel is rich and powerful, and it doesn't matter, anyway, it is just a primer for the fourth stage of the Marvel Universe.
