Way too much as in too many characters, too much exposition, too many character decisions and moments that didn’t seem to make sense.

Way too little as in too little character development, too little non-CGI action, too few reasons to care.

Zhao doesn’t really get to do much save for a few pseudo-Malick montages and some expansive nature settings (way too much of this movie is just on a beach or in a desert, lol). The cast is largely fine, though they just aren’t given much to do. The 2h45 run time is brutal. Think this could’ve been more successful if they’d just had 2 or 3 fewer Eternals on the team.

And nitpicky, admittedly, but there’s a CGI moment in the mid-credits scene that’s reeeeeally rough. No clue if they rushed that or what, but sheesh. Hard to get excited about Eternals 2.
