Martin Scorsese bashes Marvel Movies Saying They Are “Uncinematic”
Martin Scorsese doesn’t seem to be changing his mind about Marvel films anytime soon. When he compared MCU juggernauts like Avengers: Endgame and Spider-Man: Far From Home to “theme park” attractions – frivolous, fantastical blockbusters incapable of conveying human emotion – the world-renowned filmmaker received harsh criticism.

The famous Norse God is back, and he has Natalie Portman’s Mighty Thore and Tessa Thompson’s Valkyrie to help him out through his adventure.

Was Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness a Flop?
Every time I ask someone what their opinion is of the new Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, I hear things such as, “disappointing” and “bad”. After going to see the film myself, I would have to agree. Marvel has set the bar high with the Avengers and Spider-man franchise, but this movie did not meet that standard.
Elizabeth Olsen and Her Experience as Wanda Maximoff
