We have equality these days, women can make terrible films just the same as a man can.

Are they claiming that women can't direct good movies? That's not cool

a decent chunk of the low user reviews on metacritic just criticize the film for being woke politcal garbage.

I like collecting headphones and iems. My fave game of all time is DMC 3 SE on PC w/ style switch mod. IMO it the best button masher on earth

Do they mean people don't like the female perspective, or do they mean people don't like the director?

Hopefully this will at least not be like Ghostbusters and TLJ where the directors are incapable of admitting they made shitty movies and cry/cried about how it's all the fault of straight white men.

The fan reaction has been great for it so far. I watched it and liked it. Critics missed the mark on it.

Or maybe its just a crappy movie and having a female director has nothing to do with that

I really doubt that. Not just because she is a woman. No hard evidence. And she won Oscars for Nomadland.

As the director, you have one of the biggest influences, if not the biggest. You get a final say in the cast, and you can change the script/story, the presentation.. the overall tone and mood of the film.

Eternals is clearly trying to be as inclusive to minorities as much as possible, while maximizing revenue. There's more females and leading females in this role, as well as minorities. It's a Disney thing, but she likely had that power and chose to. Maybe people thought it was pandering with the huge and diverse casting? Then they also had some cheesy cliches too. It's not a bad movie by any means though imo.

majority of regular folks liked it though. Higher than critics
