Any references at all to Jean?

btw, maybe i have missed it but how did the mutants go extinct? low birth rate?
Did Charles kill most of them?
Sounded like he was responsible for the death of 7... and that org was responsible for wiping them out before that.
Did you even watch the movie because unless I've gone blind you've not mentioned anything specific in any of your posts,
On the radio after the casino incident
They were like "not unsimilar from the event a year ago that paralyzed 600 people and was responsible for the death of 7 X..." and Logan turns off the radio.
Has the post-credits scene been discussed yet?
I thought that radio report (didn't remember the number being in that, thanks) was for a different event, not THE event
How does a filmmaking team reinvigorate a genre that's on the verge of becoming overdone and stale? By subverting it with another genre. Logan feels more like a modern day western with superhero elements than a straight up X-Men film.
The story is set in the near future, mutants are thinning out. They've either died or been hunted down. Logan's healing power is not as strong as it used to be. He's old and weary and taking care of Professor X in a hideout on the Mexican border, accompanied by Caliban. But their attempt to hide from the world gets interrupted when dark forces arrive at their doorstep looking for a certain young little girl.
Logan has to be considered genre-defining. The characters, action and story were all beyond outstanding in this movie. We are taken for a ride and can relate to Logan once again. The acting is superb and the dialogue is perfect for the level of each character. Every single character feels believable.
This movie is emotional and moving in every single way that matters and is unique and is as far away from anything X-Men we've seen before. In this case, that's a very good thing. The fight scenes and pace are superb, especially the opening ten minutes I honestly could see Oscar nominations here on multiple fronts.
Dark, violent, and highly emotional, Logan is an appropriate ending to the long lasting Wolverine saga. Hugh Jackman once again gives it his all in the lead role. It's sad to know that this is very likely the last time we'll ever see him play this iconic character, but this film will certainly cement his legacy deep in our minds. Patrick Stewart, who also gives his final performance as Professor X, is great as well. One can't help but feel sad for this once great mind succumbing to the detrimental effects of old age and senility.
Was there anything at the beginning of the movie, before the opening credits, but after the trailer reel?
But really, the film makes it seem like all the mutants (and definitely all the X-Men) are dead because Charles had a seizure and accidentally killed them all, and the X-gene was then further eradicated through the genetic modification of the food supply.

.X-24 literally being Hugh Jackman. It could have been anyone else. Even fucking Sabretooth. If that was a random, no name actor I wouldn't have had a problem, but cos it was just Hugh Jackman, I couldn't handle it. I know its wierd but it just destroyed my immersion in a film I was loving up to that point.
X-24 is a basically always-berzerkered Logan clone, yeah. I don't remember if it talks or not.
Dunno why it destroyed that guy's immersion, although it seems my very momentary confusion as to whether it was Logan or Schreiber's Sabertooth (it's the chops, I'm telling you) might be kind of a thing with other viewers as well.
X-24 didn't break my immersion, but I didn't really love it either.
and then it's not even Logan himself beating him in some heroic sacrifice or anything, which leads me to another issue I had with the movie.
What's X-Men Origins Wolverine? I don't believe that movie exists.Im sorry...just saw the movie...love it but the last part of the movie sucks ass
the adamantium bullet really killed the story for me.....xmen origins wolverine he gets shot in the head and survives.....this movie it explodes x24s head and kills him....or it pretty much looks like it did
X24....cool idea...great entrance in killing off a loved character....then proceeds to walk around like a mindless robot chopping at things
some character relations remain surprisingly underdeveloped
Which ones? There's only like, four meaningful relationships, total.
Logan x Laura, most surprisingly and disappointingly.
So Dr. Rice is Stryker's son yeah?
So Dr. Rice is Stryker's son yeah? I think he said that in the movie but couldn't hear clearly. If so I take it he's not Jason lol
Shit, really? When'd he say that?
