There were multiple exposition scenes followed by exposition scenes most of which i think were wildly unnecessary. The audience gets mermaids. Its not a crazy concept. We dont need to spend much time on this at all.
Iron Heart is a commercial for the D+ series. While i loved her chracter and attitude she does nothing for the plot and you could remove her completely with no change to the story or climax save a line or two of dialogue to justify the central conflict.
Infact most of the film is really not needed for the plot. The integral scenes could be stripped down to about 45 min. And since the scenes that need to be cut are all exposition it makes for a real brutal watch.
Eternals i at least understood why the exposition was there. Celestials is a big concept. Lotta talking is needed. This? Tf?
The score constantly undermined the emotion of the scenes. Frequently wed have pretty dour scenes backed by rythmic up tempo percussion tracks. The score makes no fucking sense. Did the director move off the project at post? Absurd.
Suri doenst work as a lead. The actress is not up for it. She was GREAT as a side kick. Come in, pop off a cheeky one liner, bounce. As a lead she's basically incompetent. She has no range whatsoever and falls into the Brie Larson camp of one emotion for the entire run time.
The action itself was piss poor. The car chase is probably the worst car chase in the history of cinema. Why? Its talking fucking heads. Action movie finally has an action scene and 80% is close ups of faces inside helmets.
And on a pure nerd point: suri beat submariner with an explosion. Namor is immune to fire.
