Samuel Jackson reacts to Martin Scorsese terming Marvel films as ‘not real cinema’

 

World-famous director Martin Scorsese angered quite a hefty number of people after he termed Marvel films to be ‘not real cinema’.

While the statement did not sit well with many of the MCU buffs, Samuel L. Jackson, who stands as an integral part of the franchise was quick to clap back at the director.

Speaking to Variety, the actor said: “I mean that’s like saying Bugs Bunny ain’t funny. Films are films. Everybody doesn’t like his stuff either. Everybody’s got an opinion, so I mean it’s okay. Ain’t going to stop nobody from making movies.”

Earlier, the ‘Wolf of Wall Street’ director in an interview with Empire magazine had connected superhero films to theme parks saying: “I don’t see them. I tried, you know? But that’s not cinema. Honestly, the closest I can think of them, as well made as they are, with actors doing the best they can under the circumstances, is theme parks. It isn’t the cinema of human beings trying to convey emotional, psychological experiences to another human being.”
