Logan |OT| The Last of X
I could also suggest "The Last of Weapon X".

I only care if Bobby liked it
I'm skeptical of early reviews as well, but these are full reviews, not fan hype reviews.

I hope this pans out. Jackman and Stewart deserve a major win in this franchise.

There is one Johnny Cash song that appears in the movie. It is not Hurt.

His scores to both Gods of Egypt, Fan4stic (with Phillip Glass of all people) and Seventh Son were by far the actual "best" thing about those films on a non-ironic level.
Honestly, I thought his The Wolverine score was fine. I think it was just meant to be "there", really. Outside of the film, it's really more of an interesting experiment, can't say it's very good, though. I'm expecting much more of the same with Logan.
Bullshit, even the hardcore MCU fans on here don't want the Xmen in the MCU. I have seen nothing but excitement for Logan from the typical MCU posters.
Only FF was a target of these posts and if you want to argue that FF was a good movie, I'm even more surprised you are capable of operating a PC.

How many emotions out of 10?
I bet it's A Boy Named Sue.
Yeah, I don't think I've seen many, if any at all, asking for X-Men to return to Marvel. Fox is doing a good job with X-Men.

Jahns gave it an "awesometacular!" which is apparently his highe

Very happy with these reviews. The vulture blurb especially stands out. Feeling pretty confident this may be my favorite CBM since tdk
It was so needed too.
Give marvel back to fox

So glad it worked great! Gotta give props for letting Logan be it's own thing and not worry about setting up or connecting to other films.
So long Hugh and thanks for the memories

Wow looking at the the thread title I was sure it was getting panned.

the fuck?
1) This movie needs no post-credits stinger, and shouldn't have one.
2) a THREE MINUTE post-credits stinger isn't a stinger. That's a full-on scene.
I don't know if there's ever been a "stinger" that goes that long in any of these movies, has there?

Wait, is this in response to someone saying there should be a three minute stinger or is there actually a three minute stinger.

The linked tweet I'm responding to says the runtime's been updated to be 3 minutes longer than the version all the critics just saw.
Logan at a bar, a voice off-screen says "Hey Logan" and throws car keys at him.
It's Scott Summers.
"Let's Rock."

Alright, now that I'm out of my meeting, here's some bullet point thoughts from my press screening last night.
- The best Wolverine and Charles performance there was and ever will be in this entire franchise,no question.
-They totally nail the gritty western tone through and through and it starts out as a great character study in the beginning too. It delivers on this for 2/3s of the movie, but for me, it fizzles out late in the second and all of the third act. It starts doing the same old silliness that's tired out the rest of the franchise. It's as if it had a hard time trying to tie up all the great stuff they started with. The emotional payoffs could have been better, but the very ending is right on the money though.
- Like I said, Laura's more of a Maguffin. She's pretty badass and has her moments as a character, but that's about it. People who keep expecting a TLOU/Road father-child dynamic should temper the expectations. It's got the DNA but it does not deliver in the same way whatsoever.
- Action made good use of its R-rating -- people get fucked in a lot of interesting ways. That said, it's pretty standard for the most part and there are some points the camera "Bourne's" itself
- Soundtrack was pure background noise.
Overall, I give it a solid B.
Now some minor spoiler deets
- In terms of the timeline
Either way, some past references include
- The yellow costume is

- In terms of the timeline
there's two ways you could see it. 1.) It's basically a Frankensteined timeline of X1, X2, and The Wolverine -- whether DoFP happens or not is never really adressed. Then again 2.) DoFP could still have happened and like Roberts said earlier, the same past events in the films could still happen but we just have to assume they did so differently.
Charles talking about the events of the first X-Men film and Yukio's blade (or his?) hanging around Logan's room.
- The yellow costume is
dead. bury it. consider this your last warning.
