Eternals

 I was given products in this post for the purpose of review.  I was not paid to write this review.

Isn't it funny how some kids take after their dads and some take after their mom?  Or how they have traits from both parents?  Take my youngest son for instance, he is all about sports he plays something year-round, and we get maybe a 2 week break at most in-between.  I'm most likely the most unathletic person in the world.  I literally got cut from my own dads make a wish women's softball team.  But my youngest son not only plays these sports he is also really good.  Like always in the top 3.  With that said though at home he is just like me.  We love watching superhero movies and we talk about Harry Potter like he is our BFF.  We are so those people who argue who would win a fight Thor or Captain America...  I'm team Thor in case anyone is wondering.  

Whenever a new superhero movie comes out, we count down the days until it releases.  We don't go to the theater much anymore (ticket prices are outrages!)  So, we normally count down until the digital release.  One of the more recent movies we were counting down to was Marvel's Eternals

My review

I was worried with so many new characters being introduced none of them would be really rememberable.  I was so wrong.  I loved how each character was developed and how they fit perfectly into the MCU.  Also, the chemistry was amazing.  I found myself several times thinking how they would fit in story lines of already favorite MCU characters.  And the special effects were amazing, I think this may be one of my favorite "Visual" Marvel movies.  Wherever they shot some of these scenes was absolutely stunning.  

Great character development and chemistry, awesome visuals, edge of your seat action scenes and of course remarkable world building.  What more could we ask for in a Marvel movie!!
