In my case, I don't trust serious messages which are conveyed through the usual emotional impacts of movies. I would rather assess them without that kind of potential distortion.
However, if it's some story rather than information, movies are better. But again, I consider stories as entertainments primarily.

Hugo is one I enjoyed.
Others are Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Goodfellas, The Aviator, Gangs of New York....

How do you differentiate between the tactics authors use from the tactics directors use, outside of the obvious difference in medium?
And how does that affect the seriousness of the message?
I think all forms of art can be entertainment and still convey a serious message, if done correctly.
That said, I don't think there's anything wrong with The Avengers... but to call it art? I'd say that's a stretch.

I've got high hopes for The Irishman.

But you can't really call it 'not art' either, can you? Art - irrespective of medium - is intensely personal.

I consider the films art. Art comes in many shapes, forms, and styles, but there’s no denying the effort that went into the costume design, the score, the writing, the cgi, etc.
Are they poetic with a deeper meaning? Nah not really.

Okay, I haven't seen a Scorsese film. Willingly, at least. The wives sometimes had control of the remote.

You should thank your wives. Scorsese is brilliant.
