Meanwhile, critics have been praising Eternals and Chloe Zhao's direction. Fandango’s Erik Davis called the movie refreshing and wrote, "Marvel’s #Eternals is spectacularly weird & rich w/ a new MCU mythology that makes it feel separate from everything else. It’s honestly refreshing. There’s a bittersweetness to the film that you feel in its sunset shots - a definite Chloé Zhao touch. It is soulful & thoughtful."
