I think it's a fair criticism to say that we've gotten our fill of superhero films, and audiences should just have different things to choose from when they go to the theaters.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There are as many great superhero movies as there are comedies and dramas and cartoons. People just want to see good movies.
I still can't get over the idea that respectable adults now go to see superhero movies and that such films get reviewed in the 'New Yorker.' Clearly, I am seriously out of step with the times.
Movies cater to what the audiences want.
One can never anticipate how audiences will respond. One of the lessons that I've learned over the years is to that no matter what my feeling or opinion might be about a given film, once you give it to the audience, they own it.
I think there's escapist moviemaking, and we want to be captivated and taken away. If it's done right, you can craft an incredible film. There have been superhero films that I think are brilliant pieces of art.
It's dangerous to think too much about how a film will be received. Filmmaking is not a popularity contest. Some would disagree.
The way the films look will never entertain an audience alone. It has to be in the service of a good story with great characters.
What people adore about superhero movies is the signal quality of the Christopher Nolan films - their complete lack of irony when it comes to the portrayal of heroism and the need for heroes to confront evil.
Movie studios aren't making too many dramas anymore; they're in the superhero business. Material for television is much, much stronger for actors now.
Look, I'm no purist - there are good superhero films, and there are bad ones.
