Ridley Scottย thinksย “cinema mainly is pretty bad” and feels superhero movies are especially poorly made these days, boasting “no story.”

“Superhero movies are not my kind of thing — that’s why I’ve never really done one,” Scott told a group of media outlets including Digital Spy. “[I’ve been asked] several times, but I can’t believe in the thin, gossamer tightrope of the non-reality of the situation of the superhero. ”

He continued: “I’ve done that kind of movie: ‘Blade Runner’ really is a comic strip when you think about it. It’s a dark story told in an unreal world.
