Maybe I'm wrong, but this feels like Ghostbusters 2016 where it had a lot of terrible people loudly hating it for dumb culture war trash reasons, but after a while everyone else quietly admitted to themselves that the movie was actually just lovely for normal bad movie reasons.

Basebf555 posted:Alfie Allen was good in John Wick and I recently saw him in that Netflix vampire movie Night Teeth and he was good in that too. Alfie Allen is great, that guy deserves to get way more work. Richard Madden was decent in the Elton John thing. The other young actors on GOT were decent to great depending on how good the writing and plotting was, but when the last ~3 years of the show took a dive it became clear who was actually not that good. I imagine it much be tough to get the breathing room to develop as a serious actor when you're always going to be that person from GOT. Also seems like some of them came out of it borderline traumatized. At least the money was good.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:I was more thinking about Sophie Turner's ambien-like take on Jean Gray, Emilia Clarke's performance in Terminator, Peter Dinklage sleepwalking through X-men and his Destiny voiceover work, Iain Glen in the Racer, and Richard Madden. By a staggering coincidence, all of those worse performances were in bad films. Except Days of Future past, which was fine I guess. Basebf555 posted:I feel like Sophie Turner is the one who stands out as really just not very talented. I've never seen her play a scene with any believable emotion, everything she does has this malaise to it. This is very unfair on Emilia Clarke, who was much worse with a much more to work with on the show. Waititi is good but that's a loving weird match between director and source material. The Incal is great, go read it.

So I'm not plugged into circles beyond this Is there hate being thrown at Eternals that isn't what you find around here? Because it feels like everyone already acknowledges that it's just going to be lovely for normal reasons

Yeah, I'm not really seeing a culture war backlash with Eternals, seemingly because all of the MCU PR about it (first gay couple! First sex scene! First POC majority cast!) is stuff that they've literally done before. It all feels very manufactured and flopsweaty. Like they can't decide how to market it culturally after the "Chloe Zhao made it an art film" thing didn't really take off. They haven't really been able to figure out a way to turn watching the movie into a moral good.

The "Chloe Zhao made it an art film" stuff also clashes with it also trying to embrace the absurdity of the source material, trying to lean into it by proudly announcing that there's a character called 'Druig' (which is a dumber name than Kingo and I will die on this hill)

Eternals was officially banned in 5 countries and 4 more are considering bans. The gay stuff is not surprising, but I hadn't heard that Kuwait and Qatar have issues with depicting fictional god-like characters. Do they have committees to determine how god-like a character has to be to qualify for a ban? Also wondering what Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Oman objected to so strongly that they banned it that wasn't the gay stuff. quote:‘Eternals’ Banned in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain & Oman https://deadline.com/2021/11/eternals-banned-saudi-arabia-qatar-kuwait-bahrain-oman-1234867992/

The movie just seems superfluous to all the other corners of the Marvel universe, like “here’s another bunch of dudes who were on earth all along we promise!” like fuckin Nikki and Paolo in Lost, why are they introducing these characters now, who caaaaaares???? What I’m saying is I hope the eternals all get bitten by a spider then buried alive I literally am still not sure what the difference is between these people and the Inhumans they tried to make a thing And I don’t really want to find out

Mr. Apollo posted:Jason Momoa said in an interview that after GoT he couldn’t get work. He said he later found out that most people assumed he didn’t speak any English due to his GoT role. Yeah, he credits Snyder for saving his career. Gal Gadot, Henry Lennox and Emely Browning said the same thing, they were on the verge of quitting and Zack reinvigorated their careers. So uh, I guess Gadot is his fault, lol

saw Eternals a bit earlier tonight. I enjoyed it overall, but I can definitely see where the more negative reviews are coming from; it’s just trying to do too much in terms of character introductions, backstory, and mythology for its running time, and its more ambitious aspects are at odds with its frequently retreating into franchise tropes (i.e. underlit fight scenes against hordes of CG cannon fodder, quips that interrupt key narrative beats). also, a few of the ensemble, Madden and Keoghan in particular, are not exactly doing their best work here
