Dean (6927 KP) rated Eternals (2021) in Movies

Great SFX (1 more)
Very funny at times
New Heroes
Another Marvel film, they sure do churn them out. Can't say I've ever heard of the Eternals before but I'm not that familiar with Marvel comics. Like most Marvel films you know they are genuinely at a high level. This is no different. Plenty of great action scenes, the effects are very good, especially like the golden pattern used in the film for weapons and the costumes. Along with another battle of huge proportions.
In other ways it is quite different featuring a very diverse cast, using sign language with one character. The main stars of the film aren't the biggest names in the film.
Also interesting seeing different time periods feature as well as up to date scenes. It was genuinely funny, more than most Marvel films. Especially Kumail Nanjiani who is very good. So if you like Marvel action films this is another to check out.

I feel a little ambivalent about this movie. I think I like it, but then, it has aspects that are goofy and annoying. Chris Pratt was fairly funny, but then I found some of the other characters ridiculous. Poor Lee Pace, I wish he were cast in a different role in the MCU, that didn't involve him biting the dust. The soundtrack is amazing, as well. Other than that, it was meh.

Santa Slasher
Hard to see what all the fuss was about by today's standards but suppose it was a bit shocking for '84. The film does look really dated now and is just unintentionally funny rather than scary or gruesome. A very poor film with cheap effects, bad acting and little plot. The good things are the typical 80's slasher feel to it, a few inventive kills. Hard to think it got 4 sequels!

The story
The comedy
Fun family film
Yes, a fun family film. John Cena (ferdinand) was perfect for the role. The film as a whole missed a few things to put it up there as one of the better family films. The Comedy was funny at least. Hoping it brings bull fighting more into the limelight, mainly for how barbaric a sport it is.

Enjoyable Story
This Kingdom Maybe Forbidden But It Doesnt Stop Me From Watching It Over & Over Again
I love this film, it is such an easy watch with an amazing actor/stuntman/human. I love the emotional story of this and the mystery behind the monkey king and the eternals. I can watch this at any point and enjoy it from start to finish

Comedy genius
This is right up my street and my favourite comedy. Before watching this I was a big Spaced fan, so I was familiar with what Pegg, Frost and Edgar Writes capabilities. Saying that though, this film is a big funny step up from those early days. Just brilliant from start to finish and one of the few films that I can watch again and again and again.

Rocketgirl (4 KP) rated Sizzling Sixteen in Books

Hysterical
This series is brilliant. The mysteries generally are not very deep. But the characters will keep you howling. Stephanie is a bounty hunter, for whom nothing every goes right. She is surrounded by a hilarious cast of characters. My favorite is her pistol packing grandma who goes to funeral as the highlight if her social scene. Fast paced and funny, this is a great series.

Quite a heartwarming film that will have you routing for him
Good Sfx for the spaceship
A quality film
I did worry that this film about being stranded and left behind on Mars would be slow and boring. I need not have worried. It has some nice light hearted moments and is quite funny at times. Matt Damon gives an awesome performance that will have you willing him on.

Contains spoilers, click to show
This is by far one of my favorite books/series. There is no series that is so whimsically, hilariously, bizarrely funny as HGTG. From the moment when Arthur Dent wakes up to his house on the verge of being demolished, to the moment when Vogons once again destroy the Earth (with all of the proper paperwork, of course) You will enjoy the ride, as long as you bring your towel, and don't panic!
