The 26th MCU movie Eternals, directed by Chloé Zhao, was released last November. The movie received mixed to average reviews from the critics. And although the audience showed the movie more love than the critics did (audience score of 78%), the movie is still the lowest-rated MCU movie on Rotten Tomatoes. With only 48%, it’s also the only MCU movie with a rotten score. 

Eternals is set to be released on Disney+ on January 12. Ahead of that, Rotten Tomatoes recently asked the followers on its official Instagram account if Eternals really deserve to be the worst-rated MCU movie.

“Does Chloé Zhao’s superhero epic #Eternals really deserve to be ranked at the bottom of the #MCU? Click on our bio link to listen to the debate now.” — Rotten Tomatoes

Today, Zhao shared the post on her Instagram story and here’s what she had to say:

“Does it..? Join the fun debate or if you are not sure, check it out on Disney+ on January 12 with directors commentary and many features.”

Zhao also tagged the official Rotten Tomatoes account and put the green heart emoji next to it. Do you think Zhao’s superhero movie deserves to be considered the worst one?

Chloé Zhao won the Academy Award last year for her movie Nomadland, and Eternals grossed $401.5 million worldwide. The movie is starring the star-studded cast, which includes Gemma Chan, Richard Madden, Kumail Nanjiani, Lia McHugh, Brian Tyree Henry, Lauren Ridloff, Barry Keoghan, Don Lee, Harish Patel, Kit Harington, Salma Hayek, and Angelina Jolie. The Game of Thrones composer Ramin Djawadi composed the movie’s soundtrack.

“Marvel Studios’ Eternals features an exciting new team of Super Heroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, ancient aliens who have been living on Earth in secret for thousands of years. Following the events of Avengers: Endgame, an unexpected tragedy forces them out of the shadows to reunite against mankind’s most ancient enemy, the Deviants.” — Eternals, official synopsis

Eternals will be streaming on Disney+ on January 12.

He's also a web designer and holds a Master’s degree in general Computer Science from the Faculty of Informatics based in Pula, Croatia. Since 2018, Lukas has worked on several portals writing about movies, TV shows, and video games. He's currently writing articles for two of them: Fiction Horizon and Comic Basics. He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
