Marvel’s Eternals has officially arrived in theaters and marks the 30th Marvel Cinematic Universe movie and TV show to be released. It also marks the first time a Marvel Studios production has received an overall “rotten” score from Rotten Tomatoes. So, how does Eternals’ 48% stack up to every other film and series? Let’s take a look.
Ever since Iron Man hit theaters back in 2008, Marvel Studios had an impressive 13-year run when it comes to positive reviews from critics, which contributes to a movie’s overall aggregate score at Rotten Tomatoes. Eternals is just 2% away from earning a positive score and, while anything can change, it’s safe to say it will be the lowest-rated MCU film and will replace Thor: The Dark World’s 66% at the bottom spot.
You can check out our Eternals review right here, where we say it “is beautifully shot and terrifically acted, but it bites off more than it can chew in its third act.”

Of all the 30 films and TV series, Black Panther’s 96%, Endgame’s 94%, and Iron Man’s 94% make up the top three rated MCU properties. On the other side, Eternals’ 48%, Thor: The Dark World’s 66%, and The Incredible Hulk’s 67% account for the bottom three.
According to Rotten Tomatoes, “movies and TV shows are Certified Fresh with a steady Tomatometer of 75% or higher after a set amount of reviews (80 for wide-release movies, 40 for limited-release movies, 20 for TV shows), including 5 reviews from Top Critics.”
