Honestly that's the only Review that caught everyone off guard. His opinions on other movies have been fair.

Girts likes Rings more than Will. But yes, he is the show's #1 white man.

His Rogue One review was dumb as fuck

 

[overcast]

As a huge X2 and DOFP fan, seeing this get rave reviews is satisfying (from plenty of critics I trust too). Hugh and Patrick Stewart deserved a great send off given they were OG's of the modern comic landscape and two of the best at occupying their roles for years.

Honestly did not care for Deadpool at all. Annoyed the ever living hell out of me.

Eh, I mean I can kinda understand his review.

 

[catashtrophe]

I trust them and hate the X-Men moviex so...

Legit question, why are you even in here since you hate anything (fox) X-Men so much and make it clear so everyone else knows that as well

Anyway not read any reviews and don't plan to either but so hyped for this

That's why

Based on your history you gonna complain no matter what, X-MEN movies can't win with dudes like you.

Film is a disappointment or ass before you seen the intro credits regardless of what happens

Nah, if it's good, it's good.

I want movies I see to be good. I wanted The Wolverine to be good. And it was, until the third act. You obviously don't pay attention since I often talk about wanting shit to be good. I can back up every complaint I have about every X-Men movie. I don't say a movie is shit unless I got reason. You can like it, bug I don't for a reason.

So don't act like you know my thought process before I see a movie yung

Not saying I know your thought process but its become dull now because anything Fox/X-MEN is hated on and too many X-MEN OT threads have gone to shit with complaints and moaning. While other comic book threads are full of cheerleaders who ignore flaws of other comic book movies by other studios

Then they should make good movies instead of constant disappointments *shrug*

No one is against X-Men movies, they just ain't good

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Oooh, Tres bien! Muy excitado!

There has been three great X-Men movies and it looks like this one could be the best!

X2 and DoFP better than your faves. Prolly Logan too

Bless up

Opinions and all but IMO

DoFP
X2
Deadpool

Are great

First Class
The Wolverine

Are in the ok category

The rest i don't care about

 

[shintoki]

Yeah, I prefer their rating system, personally.

It's a great fucking system, I wish games would adopted. It doesn't give me a number to infer. It says

See this movie now
See it later
Rent it
Avoid it
Poopy

 

[Boem]

Yet this isn’t a performers’ movie—it's too hung up on its mission for that. The themes of Logan are ragingly topical, pointing in the direction of things that every decent American should care about right now. But themes aren’t feelings or attributes or actions; they’re almost not even ideas. They’re not the explosions that shake you to the core, like the thunder of unease you feel after you’ve watched a movie like Alfonso Cuaron’s Children of Men, or that picture’s natural predecessor, Ingmar Bergman’s Shame. They’re just things you make movies about. The great political movies of our time are yet to be made, and they will come. Logan, by either luck or prescience or some combination of both, feels political, but it’s really just business as usual in the comic-book-movie game.

Time - Negative

Probably discussed already, but this review cracked me up. 'This Wolverine movie takes a new direction, but it's no Bergman or Cuaron!'. Reminds me of those snotty literature reviewers discussing Pratchett in that documentary that aired the other week. I mean, it's a bloody Wolverine movie, what did they expect?

And I'm not even an X-Men fan!

So what CB movies do you rate so highly that makes all X-MEN movies a disappointment

 

[LionPride]

Not all, just everything except First Class and I guess Deadpool

But like my fave five is: Dredd, the goat Civil War, Batman Begins, Man of Steel, Winter Soldier.

I just have no reason to like the X-Men movies. That shitty wire work they do for Wolverine and it looks like for X-23, the meh acting by most of the cast, shitty story, characters I don't give a fuck about. I just don't like em, if you like em that's you

 

[Kaizer]

Still don't get the hype over Days Of Future Past, I've watched it twice now and it was merely decent to me. X2 on the other hand holds up pretty good.

Yes! Been dying to go to the theaters and now I have the perfect excuse. Might do a marathon and watch Logan, John Wick and Get out all in the same day.

YOLO

That's cool but why you in here then if you don't like the movies (and will most likely complain about Logan)

I don't like a lot of DC or Marvel movies but you'll rarely see me in threads dedicated to those movies coz.... Um well why would I

I literally said I hope the movie is good, but I hope you don't think all review threads are full of positivity, cause I would hate to shatter that thought.

 

[Evil's Bane]

I feel like Days of Future Past gets more credit because of where it put the franchise by the end. There wasn't a whole lot interesting going on aside from Xavier, but he's usually good.

 

[molnizzle]

As a casual fan of the films, Days of Future Past was pretty weird and confusing. I remember enjoying First Class a hell of a lot more.

I fucks wit you for this. I only like dead pool and like 30% of the wolverine. Xmen movies just have bad boring lackluster action scenes. Bad stories where they keep rehashing the magneto/prof. X frienemies relationship. Pointless wink at the camera cameos. Managing to make 90% of all mutants trash on screen.

 

[HeartlessNobody213]

Put in the camp of someone who prefers First Class to DOFP. One of the few X-Men films that feels like an X-Men film and not a Wolverine + the X-Men film.

 

[Dany]

Finally. a good wolverine movie

 

[Draper]

This is what life looks like...

X2 is the only good one

Still don't get the hype over Days Of Future Past, I've watched it twice now and it was merely decent to me. X2 on the other hand holds up pretty good.

Yeah DoFP is mediocre.

 

[Davide]

I'm uncomfortable watching any X-Men film directed by Singer. First Class is my favourite.

 

[kurahador]

As a casual fan of the films, Days of Future Past was pretty weird and confusing. I remember enjoying First Class a hell of a lot more.

As someone who loves X1, X2 and First Class, DOFP feels like a payoff I didn't know I wanted. I can understand someone who were less invested would be like whatever with the premise.

I'm thinking Logan will do to Wolverine what DOFP did to the X-Men.

 

[hamchan]

Fuck yeah Hugh Jackman. So happy that his last outing has seemingly knocked it out of the park.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

I wish they were using a better poster. I know there's better ones. The studio made a point to commission them, and they're using the one that just makes me think of this.

Kind of like these Bill Sienkiewicz variants?

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Sienkiewicz da gawd

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Sienkiewicz da gawd

Yup. He posts so much awesome stuff on his Facebook page.
And for just a quick DC sidetrack just to show how godly he is.

Okay, derail over.

But he has several other versions of those Logan posters on his page.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Put in the camp of someone who prefers First Class to DOFP. One of the few X-Men films that feels like an X-Men film and not a Wolverine + the X-Men film.

DoFP is one of the few X-men movies where Logan is legitimately a supporting character. He's the vessel by which the plot starts moving, yeah, but he's maybe the 4th or 5th most important character. If that.

It's one of the few times Logan gets to be part of the ensemble instead of the de-facto lead. Maybe the only time, so far as movies he has a substantial role, and not just a cameo (Apocalypse, First Class)

Anyway: Logan is a good movie, period. It works on its own terms.

Also: Bill Sienkiewicz is one of my favorite artists, period, and I will never get tired of his shit.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Some of the comic artist commissioned posters for the film.

Do love me some Art Adams.

But Sienkiewicz's is still the king.

 

[erlim]

Those Bill Sienkiewicz variants need to be a limited edition steel book bluray.

 

[Boem]

What's the documentary name?

On-topic, really glad to see those positive reviews. I did not see any of the new x-men movies in theaters, but i'll probably go see this one on opening night.

Terry Pratchett: Back in Black. It's heartbreaking, but good. They got an actor to play Terry, which is weird so soon after his death, but the explanation they give for it at the beginning is actually pretty wonderful, sweet and funny at the same time. The kind of joke Terry himself would have really liked.

But like I said, it's heartbreaking. Seeing Neil Gaiman completely break down while trying to talk about his friend is something I don't want to see again.

 

[QuantumZebra]

Until Logan...Part II

X23: I'm going to find them and kill them all...

I see the reference

And I hope this actually happens

 

[Slixshot]

I am so excited for this movie! my hype levels went from "oh this looks cool." To "why am I checking the rotten tomatoes scores every few hours to see more positive reviews?"

 

[Firemind]

Who is the baddie in this? This will make or break the movie.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Wolverine is definitely an important character in DOFP to facilitate the plot, but there's a clear intent behind his constant removal. Outside of killing those goons in the apartment and knocking out acouple Pentagon guards, he doesn't accomplish much as an action character. He has a mental breakdown during the run in with Mystique and Stryker, and against the sentinels, his bone claws are useless. And Magneto just impales him and tosses him aside.

It's a very deliberate choice that Logan isn't the one to really change history, but only to inform. Instead, the necessity of change rests entirely on the characters in the past and the choices they make.

 

[MMarston]

Who is the baddie in this? This will make or break the movie.

They're practically MCU-tier villains. You won't think much of them or at all by the end.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

They're practically MCU-tier villains. You won't think much of them or at all by the end.

I dunno, the more I think about it, the more I really liked Holbrook's character. He doesn't really do much, yeah, but he's so oddly likable while he doesn't do it.

 

[Wingfan19]

So it appears those 3 minutes added to the movie are indeed for an end credits scene...

http://collider.com/logan-after-credits-scene

While the version of the film screened for critics had no such thing, over the past few days word has begun to spread that Logan might have a scene added after the credits when it hits theaters. Forget about the rumors…I can confirm it’s true. When Logan is released on March 3rd it’ll have a post-credits scene. I’m not sure if it’s half way through the credits or at the very end, but I can 100% tell you something will be there.
