Do Captain America and co. deserve their hipster hatred?
Last week, Boyhood actor Ethan Hawke slammed the film industry and the Superhero genre in an interview with The Film Stage. "What should be seen?" Hawke asks, "If we didn't have these [film] festivals, big businesses would crush all these smaller movies. Now we have the problem that [film critics] tell us Logan is a great movie. Well, it's a great superhero movie. It still involves people in tights with metal coming out of their hands. It's not Bresson. It's not Bergman. But they talk about it like it is."
