Logan LOGAN - User Review and Reactions Thread (Spoilers)

[Visualiza]

Man...I feel like this is Guardians of the Galaxy all over again, in that I really didn't like this movie in spite of the overwhelmingly positive response from...everyone else. It did absolutely nothing for me, and I'm almost shell-shocked about it, because I went into this ready to love the hell out of it.

This movie came across as unbelievably self-indulgent to me, as if Mangold did his best to repeatedly hammer home the bleak sentimentality and finality of it all. Just didn't feel earned to me. Speaking of which, all of the more poignant, emotional beats didn't land for me either, felt like he was relying on assumed (rather than earned) empathy the whole way through. The story did the movie no favors at all either; felt like The Wolverine 2.0 in that regard, and even the fights, for as violent and visceral as they were, were completely uninteresting to me. Jackman killed the role as always, but that's about where the positives begin and end for me.

Like I said before, I'm pretty taken aback by just how much I didn't like this film, but for what it's worth, I'm glad that we've finally got a Wolverine film that most people love. Wish I agreed myself, is all.

One reason why I like X-Men films much better than others is first off i am die hard X-men fan and tone and character stuff.as well as the mutant allegory.now we can argue all day about characters that got focus.hell fans used to argue in letters page on the characters that got storylines.Logan offers something fresh and unique.X2,DOFP,and underated X-Men all among my favorates.There is tendency by some to think newer films are always better.X2 has remainded my favorate X film because i as old time fan find it nearly perfect as a film adaptan of X-Men.The allegory is strong.strong villain.wolverine,Jean,Rogue,Iceman,Pyro,Nightcrawler all get good stuff.i argue this was best stuff for halle berry as storm.Only DOFP and Logan have
realled effected me as much as X2 did.jean sacrifing herself,the crossing back and forth in DOFP third act and what happens In Logan's climax all affected me.

Chris nolan on dark knight trilogy may be more grounded than some may like but batman begins and especilly dark knight did very good job of appealing to this longtime batman fan.now i never read superman like i did
X-Men,Spider-man,Batman and even avengers but richard donner's film
is one of my favorate comic book films.it's a true classic in every sense of word.

with laura coming from mexico logan has relvence to what is going on in united states just like trask in DOFP wanting to scapegoat mutants was great allegory on immigrants and muslims.

Agreed, for me the best X-Men movies always have that extra something special which gives them the edge over the best movies from other studio's.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I think it's a very good film but I don't love it as much as some others do. I don't have many complaints so that's nice.

Rating 8.5/10

 

[hellblazer103]

Absolutely. And even on the part of Logan, that scene where he returns temporarily in his prime like the classic Wolverine, you can see from Laura's expression that it was that hero from the comics come to save her. Maybe the comics reflected the truth and maybe they didn't, but at the end there for the sake of his daughter Logan made it real. He lived up to the comics for her and those kids, and I think ultimately the film was a celebration of those stories.

" BUT HE STILL NO WEAR DA CLASSIC COSTUME DURRR "


Lol, I would've loved to see him wear it for the last friggin' film, but I guess it wouldn't have suited the tone.

 

[Quasimod0]

I'd definitely give it an 8.5. I liked almost all of it. Might even be my favorite x men film.

I wanted to love it more, but ya it was pretty good.

Seen it for a third time, as of right now it's my second favorite cbm behind TDK.

Thank god Mangold and Jackman made this movie. Such a breath of fresh air in the current superhero movie craze.

It's my #1, I was making a gifset yesterday and used Xavier's 'feel it, there's still time' speech and I cried

Goddamn, that film.

 

[Smilodon]

You know a film has really hit its mark when it's encouraging discourse and analysis and then above all, moving people.

Its certainly very unique compared to other comic book movies, I think thats why I like both Mangolds films, he's taken the medium in a new direction and opened up all sorts of new possibilities for future directors to be a bit more daring and try different things.

Definitely. The Wolverine didn't get enough credit for this. But Logan took everything did brought and made it better. Logan is a great film made by a great film maker.

Yeah it feels like TW was a glimpse of what Mangold was shooting for but Logan was what he was really aiming for from the get go once he had free reign. Still love the Logan V Shingen fight in TW though, that is still one of the high points in Hugh's career as the character.

And notice that Shingen called mutants “God’s mistake” during that fight...and Logan tells Charles, “Maybe we were God’s mistake,” in this movie.

 

[righthooksrus86]

I still can't get over..."What Kind of monster are you?"...."The Wolverine"...*SNIKT!

 

[titansupes]

Logan was what Mangold and Jackman (and me) wanted The Wolverine to be. I'm very glad to finally have a great Wolverine movie.

 

[Ivan Drago]

I still maintain The Wolverine is a pretty good movie up until the last 20 minutes. And similar to Logan, it excels in the quiet, intimate moments. And I love the Japanese setting and how the movie is populated with female characters (something really rare in cbm's). It's nice how often that movie passes the Bechdel Test.

IMO It's just as good as the first Iron Man movie. Even with the cartoony third act, it at least puts it on par with the Marvel movies which I love too.

Ehh I wouldn't say that, Iron man 1 is one of the best MCU movies.

I would put The Wolverine on par with Thor 1 or Cap 1.

Yeah I noticed that too, nice little callback to one of the best lines from TW. There were several hints back to TW in this but not over the top and in your face, just subtle reminders.

I still can't get over..."What Kind of monster are you?"...."The Wolverine"...*SNIKT!

One of my fave moments from a CBM ever, its intense and really felt like Hugh owning the roll as his own.

Yup that was when I was like yea they really NAILED Wolverine this time. Even though it wasn't rated R, Wolverine was the mean mofo we knew in the comics in this movie...Gotta love those moments in a superhero movie when the hero announces himself like Christian Bale in Batman Begins... "I'm Batman".

 

[kguillou]

I think overall The Wolverine is a solid movie, especially the extended uncut version. The last 20 minutes kind of goes off the rails but doesnt derail the entire film. Maybe the film should have just ended after the Shingen fight. Lol

Logan vs Shingen and the bullet train sequence are both great. The extended ninja fight is awesome as well. For me TW doesn't get enough credit. It's a really good movie up until the finale which admittedly does bring it down a little. Yukio and Mariko were great additions as well.

And notice that Shingen called mutants “God’s mistake” during that fight...and Logan tells Charles, “Maybe we were God’s mistake,” in this movie.

Nice catch, I meant to watch TW again before seeing Logan but just didn't get the chance in the end.

I still can't get over..."What Kind of monster are you?"...."The Wolverine"...*SNIKT!

Awesome conclusion to an awesome fight scene. It's a masterful scene, the music and everything else was perfect. Yukio protecting Logan was also a great moment.

 

[henzINNIT]

The Wolverine needed a quick polish in the last act. Put Harada in regular Silver Samurai armour and have Logan fight him and the black clan outside while Mariko confronts her grandfather and Yukio takes out Viper.

It's not wrong as far as endings go. I particularly like the call back to poison-tipped arrows. It was just a bit larger than it needed to be. Fox could have saved money and made a better film by stripping it back.

I definitely agree that Logan demonstrates where Mangold and Jackman wanted to go with the character and didn't quite get there in their first attempt.

 

[Charzhin0]

Dont personally get it when people say Logan is "by far the best Wolverine (even best X-film!)". I like both TW and Logan pretty equally but of course Logan has a superior villain, more emotional depth and gore! However I think TW has a better and more intriguing story to it and I liked the way they threw in Jean Grey into his dreams as a way of linking it to the previous movies.

 

[henzINNIT]

Honestly I'd probably prefer The Wolverine to Logan if they had stuck the landing. I don't think either are flawless.
