A lot of Jackman talk and how he hard R violently shreds baddies. I'm excited for that, but Sir Patrick Stewart was quite prominent in the trailer, is that reflected in the film?

Definitely. It's probably my favorite version of Charles, in fact.

 

[Einchy]

Really happy to see that the trailers weren't just marketing and the tone they displayed was the actual tone of the movie.

 

[broncobuster]

It's supposed to be by the Deadpool team.

I wonder why Fox didn't offer Tim Miller that or a mainline X-Men movie if his whole deal was wanting a bigger budget, effects heavy sequel.

Definitely. It's probably my favorite version of Charles, in fact.

Are there more or fewer man tears shed than Creed?

 

[Sanjuro]

Oh definitely. This is the same site that swears up and down that Skyfall is a shit movie.

Movies are only really good on the internet until they drop at the box office or they have some unrated version coming out.

 

[Wingfan19]

Yeeeeees!! Can't wait! Got my IMAX ticket for Friday night.

 

[Prompto]

Definitely. It's probably my favorite version of Charles, in fact.

How was X-23?

 

[MMarston]

Definitely. It's probably my favorite version of Charles, in fact.

Seconded. Shit, he almost steals the show whenever he's on screen.

How was X-23?

Not a bad character, but a glorified Maguffin.

 

[Werd]

I was skeptical after The Wolverine turned out pretty disappointing with the same director, but definitely on board now.

 

[Sanjuro]

Definitely. It's probably my favorite version of Charles, in fact.

Actually, this was my biggest question. Does he go full dick?

There are just a couple moments where he acts like a prick in the other films, but they are worth it.

 

[kswiston]

Fox's switch to R rated films on this and Logan was a pretty good way to differentiate some of their films in a pretty crowded genre. I wonder how long it will take WB to follow suit. Marvel Studios seems to be doing well enough with their current strategy of keeping the heavier stuff on Netflix.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

I think it's the most violent superhero movie I've ever seen. Definitely the most violent in the X-Men series. Deadpool isn't fucking with this.

There's a couple times people basically just get turned into shredded beef. Like - completely shredded. Taco meat type-shit.

Fuck yeah

 

[icespide]

Logan |OT| Completely shredded, taco meat type-shit

 

[Noaloha]

Priscilla's review for BirthMoviesDeath is glowing.

With filmmakers cramming more characters, CGI, and noise into their superhero films, it’s refreshing just to spend time with Logan, Laura, and Charles. James Mangold and co-writers Scott Frank and Michael Green have created a unique and intimate entry in the world of superheroes. Though it would be unfair to call Logan a “superhero film.” It’s a western, a noir film, a road movie. At moments it reminded me of Mad Max: Fury Road and Paper Moon and Paris, Texas. It has nothing in common with Reddit wet dream Deadpool.

 

[this_guy]

Those reviews sound great. I really wasn't looking forward to the film but now I am.

But, is this part of the Marvel conspiracy where everyone is doing fake reviews to bump up the score? I've seen enough BvS and Suicide Squad threads to know it exists.

Logan |OT| Completely shredded, taco meat type-shit

This is perfect.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Are there more or fewer man tears shed than Creed?

This is how I put it last night:

If old men faltering and letting their guarded vulnerability break down in jagged gasps makes your chest hitch up, you're probably gonna be a chest-hitching motherfucker.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Screendaily with the lone rotten review

Boasting a few nifty action sequences and the always-compelling Jackman, Logan self-consciously aspires to retire this iteration of the steel-clawed hero with epic grandeur, and the results are often rousingly bleak. And yet, the risks taken — largely felt in the more profane language and graphic violence — only make the formulaic redemption story and clichéd emotional underpinnings increasingly frustrating.

 

[MMarston]

Actually, this was my biggest question. Does he go full dick?

He calls Logan the harshest shit ever in this one, both in a humorous way and in a "god damn dude" way.

 

[Bigfoot]

Movies are only really good on the internet until they drop at the box office or they have some unrated version coming out.

GAF also has a lot of hardcore MCU fans that will hate on any Fox movie no matter how good it is. They really want Marvel Studios to get the X-men back so to them Fox can do nothing right..

 

[Oddduck]

I had a good feeling that this movie would deliver.

Glad to hear it turned out to be great.

Yeah it's really silly.

I don't really care if X-Men are part of the MCU or not. I just want good movies. Deadpool and Logan are good movies.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

He's also pretty shitty to Caliban, too.

 

[Primethius]

Was cautiously optimistic after the trailers but these reviews have me completely on board.

 

[MMarston]

He's also pretty shitty to Caliban, too.

The one that really got me was when he calls Logan

Spoiler

a fucking disappointment

early on in the film.

 

[Einchy]

Priscilla's review for BirthMoviesDeath is glowing.

This movie seems to be right up her alley.

 

[Sanjuro]

Haha. Fantastic.

 

[Ashhong]

It's a "I have no cultural touchstones outside of videogames and Logan looks like The Last of Us" moment

A joke from one of the other threads where someone said that the Mangold should admit his Last of Us influence in Logan.

I knew as much. I get the whole "it looks like TLOU" meme but the fact that he said it was "Hollywood's Last of Us moment" threw me off. Ah well, carry on

 

[Frozenprince]

Really happy to see that the trailers weren't just marketing and the tone they displayed was the actual tone of the movie.

Now we hope audiences latch on so we get more and more films like this.

 

[Angel_DvA]

Never, ever believe reviews from early viewers, not saying the movie won't be good but we all know why they're early viewers...

 

[Ristifer]

I was always in for this movie, but now I'm somehow further in.

 

[Frozenprince]

We finally get a Xavier who's a complete asshole

Praise God

 

[Einchy]

Never, ever believe reviews from early viewers, not saying the movie won't be good but we all know why they're early viewers...

Never believe Twitter impressions from randos, believe real reviews from real critics, which these are.

 

[Monocle]

Is it Fury Road good though?

Doubt it.

I hope not, I barely enjoyed that movie.

That's all on you, lol. Why do you assume the movie is lacking, and not your ability to appreciate a work widely hailed as one of the greatest action films of all time?

 

[LordOfLore]

I wonder why Fox didn't offer Tim Miller that or a mainline X-Men movie if his whole deal was wanting a bigger budget, effects heavy sequel.



Are there more or fewer man tears shed than Creed?

Won't happen until D2 is done so a few more years.

 

[kswiston]

Never, ever believe reviews from early viewers, not saying the movie won't be good but we all know why they're early viewers...

They did full press screenings this week.

 

[StillEdge]

I can't believe I was late to my screening yesterday they couldn't let me in since it had already started.

 

[Violence Jack]

It kinda pisses me off that we finally get full gloriously violent fury unleashed Wolverine, and it's Jackman's last film.

Oh well. God bless Deadpool for bringing back hyper-violent superhero films. I'll try to contain my excitement over the next two weeks.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Never, ever believe reviews from early viewers, not saying the movie won't be good but we all know why they're early viewers...

Almost all reviews are from "early viewers." That's how press screenings work.

 

[- J - D -]

I guess Logan joins the still very exclusive "good third film of a trilogy" club and gets to party with The Last Crusade, Return of the King, and Civil War.

edit: also The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

Hooray! I'm happy it appears to be good.

 

[Raguel]

Oh man. I cannot wait for this film. Fox finally seems to get Logan right. Ahhhhh!

 

[TalentAlwaysWins]

Why are people posting spoilers with no spoiler tags...

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Where is that happening

 

[broncobuster]

This is how I put it last night:

Good. Good.

 

[kswiston]

It's the only one of those that was better than the first two. Not that the bar was all that high.

 

[TalentAlwaysWins]

Where is that happening

I saw something about yellow spandex and I freaked lol

 

[LotusHD]

Never, ever believe reviews from early viewers, not saying the movie won't be good but we all know why they're early viewers...

But these are are...

sounds delicious

 

[Violence Jack]

So for those who've seen it and claim it's the most violent superhero film, would you say it's on the level of Blade or even beyond that?

 

[Lights and Waves]

Wow those are some great reviews!

 

[Angel_DvA]

They did full press screenings this week.

Full press screening ? Interesting, less shill confirmed, hype...
