Director Martin Scorsese has shared his view on comic book movies, admitting that although he has previously given Marvel movies a chance, in his opinion they are “not cinema.”
As reported by Comicbook.com, the veteran filmmaker recently sat down with Empire magazine for a career-spanning interview, in which he was asked about the superhero genre and the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
“I don’t see them. I tried, you know? But that’s not cinema,” Scorsese told the publication. “Honestly, the closest I can think of them, as well made as they are, with actors doing the best they can under the circumstances, is theme parks. It isn’t the cinema of human beings trying to convey emotional, psychological experiences to another human being.”
