I guess I'm in the minority as I liked Eternals, I enjoy all MCU films overall. Sure, they're not at the level of a Casablanca or The Godfather, nor I expect them to be, but I still find them fun to watch, I see them more as the current version of the silly and predictable action films from the 80s, which I also enjoy quite a lot.
Sadly, the big studios will keep making whatever sells, the audience is to blame for their lack of support for better cinema. Most people will rather go watch the new entry from a familiar franchise, even if it's a bad movie, than something that is original and different but unkown.
Breja: In todays world everyone with Internet has easy access to tons of fantastic older (which at this point can mean anything from 90s to 30s) movies and shows,
Hey, don't forget the 1910's and 1920's, lot's of great films (and shorts) from those decades too, especially in comedy: the silent era giants, Keaton, Chaplin and Lloyd, the Laurel and Hardy silent works and I think their first talkies too, the early works from W.C. Fields, and the first Marx Brothers film, just to name a few. And for more serious films, we have the German expressionist masterpieces like Nosferatu and Metropolis. :) Sadly, the big studios will keep making whatever sells, the audience is to blame for their lack of support for better cinema.
