Logan Logan - news & discussion - Part 1

[Web-Head]

Ah, the redband trailer is exactly the same minus one graphic scene

 

[iacobusleo]

As for me, I just want great movies, which have soul, have their own unique DNA and are director driven. Movies which can add a little something to the long list of comic book adaptations and don't feel like they were put together through several committee meetings. While, of course, retaining the heart and soul of the source material. That's what makes the best comic book adaptations stick out to me.

I don't need more of the same, which follows a popular template, and just switches the characters.

This seems like it's another special one, fortunately.

I think it depends on the character and story bring told.

I want the X-men movies to have more of that flavor, but I don't think Wolverine needs to, particularly with this specific story.

Agreed with all of the above. Well, I don't need the X-Men movies to be particularly comic book-y, but what JKR said would be ideal.

It's interesting to me though, from taking a look through Reddit, that everyone is praising this movie for not looking like a conventional super hero movie, when people have been criticizing Singer's X-Men movies for not being comic book superhero-y enough (his movies do tend to have problems besides not being comic book-y, but that has typically been the number one complaint).

This movie does not feel like it fits with the tone and world established by X-Men Apocalypse, or even Deadpool. Which is perfectly fine by me, but it does I think highlight the difficulties of having a shared universe while preserving a director's individual flavour.

Deadpool 2 will probably erase this film with their time travel shenanigans involving Cable lol

What is the point of this comment?

Man, if only Deadpool could meet Wolverine again.

Well like Blackman said, it depends on the story and characters.

The X-men are, traditionally, a brightly-colored group of spandex-clad superheroes that fight dinosaurs and aliens and all kinds of crazy stuff. We haven't really gotten anything like that in the movies, and some feel it's overdue.

Wolverine has been in thousands of different stories, so there are always counter-examples to claims like this, but generally his solo adventures are darker and more personal. This appears to be perfectly in line with that.

 

[GuestStar2004]

The reason why people praise this one is because its wolverine, no one minds it being grounded, dark and violent but if they did it with X-Men and took away comic booky for grounded and dark then it would get complaints

Exactly

Why do I keep reading this stuff?

And even if she had three claws on each arm, who tells you that it would be Fox ruining things, and not a specific decision from the director.

This ain't 2009 anymore, and Tom Rothman is long gone.

Because Fox does do stuff like this. Yes, it could be the directors or art directors choice but Fox has a track record of meddling with things so they get most of the blame.

The whole thing about X-23 is that she was a more efficient killer compared to Logan. Take people out quicker and with less of a mess. With claws in both her feet and hands, it allowed her to use not only her hands to take people out.

Though I'm sure they haven't changed her claws as there is no evidence of it happening, I'm just stating thatI hope they don't do unnecessary changes like that.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Yea, it's such an emotional experience... The Patrick Stewart's voice throughout the trailer...

The whole trailer is so perfectly put together. I like non-R trailer much more than the red band one, tbh, there's this particular feeling of fragility in it.

Took it right out of my mouth man, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen and Jackman are the reason why I got into CBMs in the first place. I can't even look at Stewart and not feel sad that I'm probably not going to see him in an X-Men movie again.

[Scarlet Spider]

Great trailer.

 

[fobi]

I have so many questions! Lol

I know they'll all be answered in the film though. Are are the other X-Men dead? What happened after the reset future? This film takes place only about 8 years later right?

 

[TeeKay]

Looks good.

 

[Lencho01]

I thought the trailer was pretty great.

 

[BoredGuy]

Tone of it looks good

I agree with the Last of US comparison

Doesn't feel adequately post-apocalyptic-y to me, just looks like Logan kinda lives in the middle of nowhere, some small town out west

Didn't care for "Death of Wolverine", was hoping for more "Old Man Logan"

but at least it looks dark and violent and like we may finally get a full on berserker rage.

 

[Weather Witch]

I actually really, really love that trailer. Logan looks like a very emotional journey. Can't wait!

 

[kguillou]

So wait, this is confirmed to only be ONE YEAR after DoFP? That...doesn't make...sense? Does it?

 

[DavidHaller]

I love it! This is beautiful. Let's hope we will not a Silver Samurai ending to a great movie like The Wolverine because they could not overcome their own genre...

I also hope after X-Men: Apocalypse FOX learned their lesson and they will ground all X-Men movies again in gritty reality.

I'm so ready for an X-Force movie afterwards with Wolverine, Psylocke, X23, Cable, Domino and Deadpool!

 

[fobi]

Wasn't it stated that it takes place in 2024? Or was that rumor?

 

[Consona]

Yea, it's the best trailer in a very long time IMO. The whole thing feels so genuine and touching.

I was looking forward to a more dystopian, apocalyptic future, but that's my fault for having those expectations based on the Old Man Logan source material. I'm glad I understand now that might not be what we're getting, so I'll be able to re-adjust my expectations according. Does anyone here know details regarding the exact setting of the movie?

Didn't catch X-23's claws on my first viewing, but just saw them on a re-watch. It'll be really cool to see if she grows into the role and has a stint on screen comparable to Hugh Jackman, she might be the first legacy character that works.

 

[Lencho01]

I think it's cool having the scene shake for his berserker rage, if that's what they're going for.

 

[Weather Witch]

Yeah it seems very genuine and raw.

Do you have a screen cap? I have trouble seeing them.
