I know that I'm the only one who feels this way, but I think Scorsese's technical flair is pretty overrated. He's made so many great movies, and in my opinion, is cinema's greatest storyteller, but there are plenty of filmmakers more talented technically than him. The direction in Raging Bull is absolutely perfect, I admire many scenes in Mean Streets and Casino, and there are a few memorable images in the rest of his films, but compared to the likes of Orson Welles, Stanley Kubrick, Terrence Malick, Federico Fellini, and Jean-Luc Godard, his films are visually unimpressive.

That said, he is a master of cinema.
