Film Martin Scorsese - Marvel movies are 'not cinema'

Apart from films/series making fun of superheroes, like the Incredibles and The Boys (and the first Deadpool) I find superhero films utterly unwatchable. I'd rather watch a highlight reel of every bit of Jar Jar Binks and Hayden Christiensen as Darth Vader on loop than put up with another superhero movie. Thankfully those aren't the only options.

Fair enough.

I should watch Rogue One again. I watched it at the cinema when it first came out in London, but I was only hours off a plane from Australia so I fell asleep early on and woke to see the credits rolling.

It's the only good SW movie Disney made.
 
there are more good Marvel movies than the trully shit ones anyway. Eternals, The Marvels, Wakanda Forever and perhaps I'm being harsh, but I'd actually add last Doctor Strange in that group - those are some of the laziest and charmless blockbusters released in the last couple of years. I watched about an hour max. of each of them.

but they weren't the norm. majority of them up until the multiverse saga were decent, simple blockbusters with proper pacing. movies like Thor, Iron Man, Black Panther, Spider-Man, Doctor Strange. you walk out of theather entertained and then forget about them. there's nothing shit about them.

and yet some were actually good and simply well made action movies regardless of taste. movies such as Winter Soldier and Civil War, Infinity War and Endgame, or first Guardians of the Galaxy.

I'm not sure if there's a single SW movie on that level. very few SW films rival even those from the "decent" group.
 


Regardless of The Phantom Menace quality there was no way Lucas was going to make a film which lived up this hype. Doomed from the start.
