Martin Socrsese's criticises MCU movies

In a recent interview Martin Socrsese likened the superhero films to theme parks. The ace filmmaker who happens to be not a fan of Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) said that he feels the movies don't serve the purpose of cinema and are rather a theme park adventure. Scorsese said he has seen some of the Marvel Studios projects and found them lacking on the "emotional and psychological experiences".

"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," the director told Empire magazine.

James Gunn and Joss Whedon on Martin Socrsese's comment on Marvel films

However, Samuel L. Jackson is not the only one to break his silence on the matter. Previously, Marvel filmmakers James Gunn and Joss Whedon, who have been at the helm of various MCU projects, also expressed their disappointment over Martin Socrsese's comment. 

"Martin Scorsese is one of my 5 favorite living filmmakers. I was outraged when people picketed The Last Temptation of Christ without having seen the film. I’m saddened that he’s now judging my films in the same way," James Gunn wrote in a recent post.

Whedon, who has worked on "The Avengers" and "Avengers: Age of Ultron", also took to the microblogging site to express his displeasure over the veteran filmmaker's remarks. "I first think of @JamesGunn, how his heart & guts are packed into GOTG. I revere Marty, & I do see his point, but...," he tweeted alongside a link to Scorsese's interview. "Well there's a reason why 'I'm always angry'," he added. Peter Ramsey, director of "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse", said Scorsese is a "God", but "Marvel movies are fun and good. Chill".
