Martin Scorsese says Marvel movies are 'not cinema'

He's right. They're garbage aimed at the lowest common denominator.

There's a reason why comic book movies are more popular than comic books ever were. Most of the Dumb Masses (say it fast) who stand in line to see these movies have never read a comic book in their lives, and could not understand the continuity or the layering of many of the stories. I grew up reading comic books and these movies do not translate well from the page at all.

The guy has his opinion like the rest of us on what cinema is. No reason to freak out about what he thinks if you ask me. Why? because Marvels movies are going to continue to do just fine regardless of what he says.

This story will eventually (if it hasn't already) sizzle and we'll all carry on doing our thing.

I wouldn't put it that way but I certainly understand what he's getting at.

Comic book movies are cinema, and sometimes they're fun (all the time, for some fans). The public has become obsessed with them, and the studios keep pumping them out for the money. It has become tiresome. Maybe we should move on to the next thing--at least give it a rest for awhile.

Most of Scorsese movies about assholes. So obvious having characters doing something heroic. Is not cinema to him.

Its nice see that Scorsese fans are just as pretentious as he is.

saw this on yahoo news/

I think hes got another kind of mind control, hes an actor,
he was talking about it in a way that we don't talk about it.
