Despite having directed gruesome war epics and dramas such as Braveheart and Apocalypto, Mel Gibson still believes Marvel movies are "more violent than any of his films.
While doing an interview with The Washington Post about his latest effort, Hacksaw Ridge, Gibson was asked about the movie’s violent action sequences, which have been criticized by some to be at odds with the film’s pacifist main character, Desmond Doss.
Doss, an American soldier and devout Christian, refused to fire a single weapon during World War II. But, he still won the Medal of Honor for saving 75 soldiers during the Battle of Okinawa.
Gibson defended Hacksaw Ridge saying that modern movies contain “violence without a conscience,” which he thinks isn’t the case with any of his work.
“To talk about the violence question, look at any Marvel movie,” Gibson told The Washington Post. “They’re more violent than anything that I’ve done, but [in my movies,] you give a s--- about the characters, which makes it matter more. That’s all I’ll say.”
Hacksaw Ridge is currently out in theaters, opening against Marvel's latest, Doctor Strange.
Check out why IGN thinks the movie “is one of the most successful war films of recent memory.”
