Martin Scorsese is owed an apology

Yes, superhero movies are crushing true cinema

In 2019 Martin Scorsese was quoted as saying that superhero movies are not cinema, and compared them to theme-park rides.

He was met with a typical wall of nerdrage.

From where we are here in 2023, I think even those who were most outraged at Scorsese are starting to realise that he was right. Corporate entertainment franchises have crushed true cinema.

Mr Scorsese is owed an apology.

And I’m happy to see a new movie from him trailered today.
