The first act was decent, then it was just contrived and then the final act was just the most generic Marvel borefest.

I know people didn't like Eternals, but I feel like they at least tried something different with that. Shang Chi, and to an even worse extent Black Widow, had some really good ideas at the start but were just the most paint-by-numbers films in the end. No inspiration at all.

Yup... I will say I was outright bored during the dragon and chutuhulu tentacle monster battle, I found myself distracted and bored and it's a shame because what we want to see is more cool fight choreography for a final battle. They weren't even creative with it, like I thought maybe they'd take down the evil dragonish monster shadow of the colossus style or something to make it more engaging.

I definitely agree with the good ideas at the start sentiment, for both movies. But I completely disagree with Eternals sentiment, if doing something different is basically "be a DC movie" complete with the whole evil superman thing and the annoying color filter that DC uses to make everything look drab, among other problems/missed opportunities.
