[Romire]

Without giving spoilers, i can safely say that Logan was a beautifuly mastered movie that gave wolverine its closure.

Great movie!

[BigAssBoy]

Fox out doing marvel disney itself two movies in row. I guess after a couple of shit movies, some executive suit said you know what lets fucking listen to someone that actually love comic book. Ryan Renolds saved deadpool which was his dream character to play in an R movie. Then apparently James Mangold came up with the idea to do old man logan with Hugh Jackman himself, because both wanted to do something better than every x man movie as his last in an R movie and this time fox did not take too much convincing to green light. Who knew people that actually want to do good work from the heart actually makes better movies then a check list.

For me personally, maybe the best superhero movie so far.

Actually, Apocalypse was between the two.

I quite like Days of Future Past, X-Men 2 and First Class as well, but YMMW.

Man I'm sorry to disappoint you all, but I didn't like this that much. I'd put it behind First Class.

First Class did humor better, had a way stronger cast ( McAvoy, Fassbender, Bacon were all great ) had, imo, more emotional moments ( Magneto MVP ) and better humor. It also had a real villain.

This film didn't have a big bad other than the Wolverine clone and that jobber with a metal arm. The kid also screamed way too much.

We didn't really get an explanation as to what Charles did, unless I missed it. Was he the reason the X-men died? Was it the virus? I thought his death was kinda weak.

All in all, I'd give it an 7.5. I enjoyed it more than Apocalypse and Days of future past to be sure, but less than Deadpool and Civil War.


Loved the R rating, though. Deliciously brutal.

We find out after the Casino incident that a similar incident took place in Westchester a year earlier (via newscast), and 400 died(? - I think, no captioning) including 7 mutants. That's why he was in seclusion; he has been classified as a weapon of mass destruction as a result of the event.

I see. So why didn't he make the same serum he was making in the 70's, that kept his powers off?

Seems even Trump is a fan of "wolfareen"

[Alvito]

It was fantastic. The Deadpool trailer was a nice little bonus on the front side too.

[Sorshen]

That was pretty brutal.
I liked seeing Patrick Stewart throw the fuck bombs all around, lol.

[pateuvasiliu]

That was pretty brutal.

Hell yeah, they need to do more R rated superhero movies.

[strangerdanger]

I shed a mantear (or two)...

[Fencers]

It was kinda meh for me. Shaggy, rule of cool, lots of nonsense. Lame villains, pointless kid.

The cold open with Deadpool was neat but the joke was super obvious and crude- as expected. The most clever thing was the graffiti on the phone booth.

Yeah a little before they make their run for the border when you can tell she kinda wants Logan to come with her and she walks outdoor after they both piss each other off and her eyes are watery. I kinda had the man version of those eyes, nobody saw it thought.

I didn't see her eyes were watery, interesting.

I think the child actress was pretty solid, i mean you star along side someone popular like hugh jackman and a living legend patrick stewart. With no unintended cringes moment from her, good direction at play.

Really like the fact that we're seeing more genre films set in the comic book universe - Logan is a through-and-through Western. Lone anti-hero with a troubled past fleeing civilization, that's represented by an oppressive but fundamentally banal evil, who has to do battle with himself (spoiler: literally!) in order to protect his family and achieve peace? That's a Western. And incorporating scenes/dialogue from Shane was a nice tip of the hat.

Winter Soldier incorporated a lot of spy thriller tropes, and Deadpool was centered a lot on Black Comedy / Parody tropes, but Logan has gone the furthest into genre films yet. It's not a comic book movie with a Western setting, it's a Western set in a comic book universe that has been shaped to fit Western tropes.

But the movie itself only works because it is entirely contingent on (a) the actor playing the character, (b) that actor's history of playing that character, and (c) that actor's/character's cinematic history meshing very well with the Western genre. It's a weird dichotomy; Logan has no discernible narrative continuity with any other movie, but it only makes sense within the context of those movies. That's why it works so well, and also why its almost impossible to replicate.
