I can't agree with that, there are tons of blockbusters with high scores, including many mediocre superhero movies. Of course critics do value more films made with artistic purposes than movies made to be the equivalent of a theme park roller coaster, because they do understand what real cinema is about. |
Problem is that I don't really think that's what cinema is. I mean, we need both. Films with artistic value, which I can surely appreciate, and films with no more purpose that entertain. And I feel that both are valid and they both have its merits. It's just that I feel that, for a movie to earn massive praise (and I mean similar praise to Boyhood, Moonlight, Godfather...), they have to be thoughtful, reflexive, realistic dramas XD. A blockbustery action movie, with no other purpose that entertain (and there are good and bad ways to do that), is never gonna get that level of praise. Even if characters, action, cinematography, etc... is spot on.
