Unpopular Opinion: Samuel L Jackson > Denzel Washington

[Jefferson Jackson]

Why? Just cuz he ain't crying in all his roles like a lil sissy boi

 

[Wear My Dawg's Hat]

Denzel and Sam launched their careers together in NYC theater forty years ago with
the Negro Ensemble Company.

Lil more controversial, but coach carter gets to me more than Remember the Titans....that setting of urban underachieving school using basketball to change black men from being statistics hits a lil closer to home to me.

I was waiting on someone to make the comparison. I haven't seen either so I can't speak on it

Both great movies, Remember the titans is the message of how brotherhood is able to destroy hate and ignorance while C.Carter explores the concept of nurture vs nature. Definitely a recommended watch, they hit hard as a youth and prolly hard as an adult since you get what they trying to say more now.

Bump

 

[Tommy Knocks]

I actually like Sam more also. But they are both great.

this.

my favorite scene of all time is by Sam.....so im going with him


not to mention his performance in Django
went toe to toe with leo effortlessly

 

[richaveli83]

He's played the same person in every single movie.

EVERY movie!

 

[Luke Cage]

Damn i can't remember if they've done a movie together

 

[Methodical]

My father would agree with you. He always think Sam L>>>>>Denzel then I think about it and he might have a point cause Sam characters are more memorable than Denzel characters.

Sam plays characters, Denzel plays Denzel but he did great job as Maclom X and Alonzo that's about it.

 

[Methodical]

I've said that for years on here

Denzel has been lowkey typecasted for a while now

With Sam you can get all types of wild ass characters for your movie


Look at Sam in Avengers, then Pulp Fiction, then Eve's Bayou, literally completely different people he played

Exactly. Jackie Brown, Unbreakable, Django Unchained, Jungle Fever, list can goes on and on.

Denzel is dope but I hate most of his roles.....he almost got that Will Smith thing going on where in almost every one of his roles it just seems like....Denzel lol

Other than like Training Day and a few others I never buy that he's not Denzel

 

[Child_Of_God]

Picturing samuel l jackson in training day would have been wild lol

I'd take it

He played a similar role in GTA San Andreas. He was the voice actor of Officer Tenpenny.
