In Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud he tells us the main difference between film and comics. Both comics and film are both sequential visual art, but a film is sequential in time but not spatially adjacent like in comics. A film displays the image through the course of time on the same space, so the image continues to change rapidly to make actions happen. A comic uses pictures in different areas to explain the story's course and actions. So basically, a movie needs time to work and a comic needs to have space to show a series of pictures to make a scene or story.
