The Battle for Cinema

Spiderman’s Tom Holland has responded to Martin Scorsese’s criticism of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The Marvel films aren’t as good as their box office billions suggest, but there is cinema art in those productions.

Some of the films fall flat sure – perhaps failing more often than not – but there is thought there. There’s too much talent in the production – they can’t help themselves.

There’s also the fact that movie serials during the golden age of cinema have a lot in common with Marvel’s cultural juggernaut.
