Eternals (2021)
Great but often misguided
The visuals of this movie were absolutely stunning, the acting and the writing both decent. However, where The Eternals really struggled was the pacing. Some scenes felt too long and drawn-out, while other moments - and indeed entire characters - often felt neglected. Most problems appear to be caused by the overly ambitious scope of the project, introducing 10 new characters over a span of 7000 years. Perhaps these issues could have been rectified by making this into a series? Overall, this is a great experience for any fans of the MCU, or those who just want a decent movie to watch for a few hours.
Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)
One of the worst MCU movies
I was originally rather exited for this film, being both a fan of the MCU and of the sci-fi genre. However, to say that it disappointed me would be a huge understatement. The main cast include a talking racoon and a sentient tree who is only capable of forming three words (four if you include his line at the very end), who simultaneously add basically nothing to the story while being a great annoyance for the viewer. The soundtrack is also a point of criticism, not suiting the sci-fi vibe of the film and aiding the "heroes" in defeating the antagonist through a dance battle.
As a fan of the Star Wars franchise, this movie is vaguely reminiscent of it while not including any of the parts that actually made it good. If you have nothing better to do, this movie may be okay for light watching, however, it is nothing more than cheap trash to pass the time.
