Eternals follows the story of an immortal race who were responsible for shaping the civilizations on Earth. The story is fairly interesting and unlike a typical Marvel superhero story. The story is mounted differently as well. The screenplay here is more cerebral throughout its runtime which is distinctly different from a conventional Marvel template. The issue here is that when you are watching a superhero film, you expect some level of action. Here the action sequences are present but they aren’t edge of the seat stuff. While the buildup is interesting, as you get a glimpse of the main protagonists and how they have progressed from the start of time, you soon expect the main conflict to begin. Ehile that does start, the conflict is subtle and doesn’t exude of an adrenaline rush. The main reason for this is the lack of a supervillain. The villains here are some random creatures including one of their own whose identity is kept under wraps. So there were some writing issues here which is unlike Marvel.

On the positives, the pop-culture references are refreshing. Some of the sequences including a terrific twist in the tale was quite interesting to watch. But there are hardly any spikes in the drama which acts as a hindrance. Overall, a mixed kind of a screenplay as far as writing is concerned, leading up to a lukewarm final act(but with an interesting mid credit scene).
