Simply incredible.
It’s impossible not to get emotional, what a perfect ending
watched Logan after 7 year same day on its release date .. That last X.
"Hey, it's 2029, why are we still talking about mutants?"
Oh, God, we're only 5 years away from the "not too distant future" first used in X-Men (2000).
"And since the wheel lugs they found belonged to a '24 Chrysler, and, well, this is a '24 Chrysler.
Logan's leasing a Chrysler limo manufactured this year. Please take me back to the "not too distant future" time. My current vehicle was released when X-2: X-Men United was released, and that already seemed like too long ago before the franchise catching up to now.
God, Boyd Holbrook is so good at playing the slimy asshole.
Apocalypse was a terrible X-Men movie, but bringing Caliban back for this with Stephen Merchant playing him was a wonderful idea.
Oh, God, I am not ready to watch Stewart's Charles Xavier die again, especially when he has to be so severely medicated because of how dangerous his seizures are.
Okay, hearing him say "Fuck off, Logan. kinda eases the heartbreak, since we'd never heard him speak like that before. Him dropping the f-bomb so much is still as weird to hear as it was when Community moved to Yahoo! and the show didn't have to censor strong language anymore.
"What a disappointment you are." Jesus, that really hits hard hearing Patrick Stewart saying that as Charles Xavier.
Damn, it still amazes me that little Dafne Keen could emote that much just through facial expressions and zero dialogue. Or believably throw a bunch of grown men with guns around like rag dolls when she couldn't have weighed 90 pounds soaking wet. I know that was the point of her character's introduction, but I'm still blown away by how well it was executed. A kid actor trying to match the ferocity of Jackman's Wolverine in Wolverine's prime could've easily backfired, but Keen absolutely nailed it.
Oh, god, Charles apologizing on the way out of the hotel is just pure fucking heartbreak. A man and mutant as conscientious, careful, and caring as he always was unintentionally hurting a bunch of people because he can't control his powers during a seizure is still devastating to see.
"You know, Logan? This was, without a doubt, the most perfect night I've had in a very long time. But I don't deserve it, do I? I did something, something unspeakable. I've remembered what happened in Westchester. This is not the first time I've hurt people. Until today, I didn't know. You wouldn't tell me, so we just kept on running away from it. I think I finally understand you. Logan?"
You sons of bitches just had to have him say that, right before, didn't you? I've watched Patrick Stewart's Charles Xavier die so many times that I should've been numb to it by 2017, and that wouldn't be the last, but having him say that before the second-to-last time still fucking hits as hard as it did in March 2017. The only small comfort is knowing that Charles knew it wasn't Logan who killed him in the last few seconds of his life.
"No, no, no. Let him come to us. We struggled with the X-23s. We assumed, because they were children, we could raise them without a conscience. But you can't nurture rage. You must simply design it from scratch."
Goddamn, Dr. Rice managed to out-evil Bolivar Trask and William Stryker with just that one line. Richard E. Grant was perfect casting for Rice, as per usual with this franchise.
"Beware the light." The fucking perfect mic-drops in this franchise!
Laura watching Logan beat the shit out of the truck with a shovel, thinking, "Hmm. Wonder if that's where my rage issues come from?"
Laura starting to speak in Spanish at light speed makes Mr. Munson's line about "the nonsense that comes out of kids' mouths" making him envious of Laura's silence really hit home haha.
"And it is better this way, because I suck at this! Bad shit happens to people I care about, you understand me?"
God, 17 years of Jackman being in Logan's skin really makes those kind of lines hit.
"Not all at once, Rictor." LMAO, telling Logan not to use all the super-mutant steroids at once when he's on his last legs was pretty much a guarantee that he was gonna mainline that entire bottle to become Jay in Mallrats: "Snickety, snickety, snoin!"
Oh, man, hearing that Wolverine roar...goddamn, nothing better.
And we're back to Yukio's vision of Logan's death, from The Wolverine: "I see you on your back, there's blood everywhere. You're holding your own heart in your hand."
"Don't be what they made you. So this is what it feels like."
And of course Bobby had his Wolverine action figure at the funeral. And of course Laura would tilt the homemade cross to make an X. I'd like to pretend I maintained composure in that theater back in March 2017, but seeing that X made sure I would not!
I know Jackman's back as Wolverine for Deadpool 3, but the best part of this movie is that Disney could keep bringing him back, and it wouldn't make the ending any less powerful.
Bastards had to use Johnny Cash's "The Man Comes Around" for the end credits, just like they had to use his cover of Hurt for the trailer. "Hey, 'member when we roped you into seeing this movie with a Johnny Cash song? Well, here's the perfect bookend!"
I love the Wolverine. I love Logan. I love Hugh Jackman. I love this movie. It takes its self away from marvel, matures itself and gives it to you raw. It felt very authentic and overall just homey. Anywhere he went with whoever it was, it just makes you afraid to be safe.
(Watched the Noir version, 2nd viewing of this film)
Sad, dark - and very moving. To see the former superheros fall from grace and loose powers - just because of time. It also sucks getting old and sick if you are mutant. Unlike the other x-men I have seen. Excellent all round - highly recommended.
"Logan, you still have time," says a panting Patrick Stewart in this X-Men sequel that bucks the previous trend of showmanship and gloss. In this latest installment of Hugh Jackman's (aka Logan) Wolverine, he's a very different beast. Melancholic, drunk with remorse, and with age advancing fast, we find the wolverine on a downward spiral. He no longer heals like he used to, he no longer feels like he used to, and he keeps running away from both the past and the present.
This terrifying quality has always marked Hugh Jackman's character. Even when we first met Wolverine in 'X-Men,' he was already disenchanted with the world. His superpowers had already made him the target of both casual and determined enemies, justifying his disdain for those who offered help. Yet it's this stubbornness of pursuit (along with Jackman's sarcastic performance) that has always made his performance the talisman of every X-Men movie, and in 'Logan' that humanity is given free rein to play out its pain. and adult dissatisfaction. Like the man who just wants to be left alone, the world stubbornly refuses to heed Logan's request. His powers, now a blessing in decline, remain a commodity to others and you know the beast Logan has tried so long to tame is just one wrong word away. However, time is running out fast for the man who cannot die.
In the end, the adult melancholy that pervades 'Logan' is complete and satisfying. It's a sequel that has time and space for pain, tenderness, and is better for it. Happily, the dirt and grime of 'Logan' isn't an embellishment for another disappointment: it's a triumph. It is a triumph beyond the expectations and considerations of the production company. In the sun-scorched vulnerability of 'Logan', Hugh Jackman has finally found the setting where this iron man can rage.
"Logan, todavía tienes tiempo", dice un Patrick Stewart jadeante en esta secuela de X-Men que rompe con la tendencia anterior de espectáculo y brillo. En esta última entrega de Wolverine de Hugh Jackman (también conocido como Logan), es una bestia muy diferente. Melancólico, embriagado de remordimiento y con la edad avanzando rápido, encontramos al wolverine en un espiral descendente. Ya no se cura como solía, ya no siente como solía y sigue huyendo tanto del pasado como del presente.
Esta cualidad aterradora siempre ha marcado al personaje de Hugh Jackman. Incluso cuando conocimos a Wolverine por primera vez en 'X-Men', ya estaba desencantado con el mundo. Sus superpoderes ya lo habían convertido en objetivo de enemigos tanto casuales como determinados, lo que justificaba su desdén hacia quienes ofrecían ayuda. Sin embargo, es esta terquedad de persecución (junto con la interpretación sarcástica de Jackman) lo que siempre ha hecho que su actuación sea el talismán de cada película de X-Men y en 'Logan' esa humanidad se da rienda suelta para desarrollar su dolor y insatisfacción adultos. Como sucede con el hombre que solo quiere ser dejado solo, el mundo se niega obstinadamente a atender la petición de Logan. Sus poderes, ahora una bendición en declive, siguen siendo una mercancía para otros y sabes que la bestia que Logan ha tratado de domesticar por tanto tiempo está solo a una palabra equivocada de salir. Sin embargo, el tiempo se agota rápidamente para el hombre que no puede morir.
Al final, la melancolía adulta que invade 'Logan' es completa y satisfactoria. Es una secuela que tiene tiempo y espacio para el dolor, la ternura y está mejor por ello. Alegremente, la suciedad y la mugre de 'Logan' no son un adorno para otra decepción: es un triunfo. Es un triunfo más allá de las expectativas y las consideraciones de la compañía productora. En la vulnerabilidad abrasada por el sol de 'Logan', Hugh Jackman finalmente ha encontrado el escenario donde este hombre de hierro puede enfurecerse.
A great send-off to a beloved character. Logan is not the typical superhero movie, yet it's still one of the best ones to date.
It is difficult to think about Logan as a Marvel movie, because it is so much greater than the rest, even the best of them.
It probably wouldn't win the award of the happiest, most optimistic life-affirming story, though.
only bad thing id really have to say is that this definitely does not "feel" like an x-men movie. it's good, dont get me wrong. and ofc it has the mutant powers. but it didnt have the same team fighting against a huge power to take it down type feel. and good for it honestly, it woulda been worse w the team. hope we get more stuff with laura and the rest of the kids
i really envy people who think that professor xavier having a degenerative brain disease is unrealistic. i take care of two relatives with dementia. it's about as brutal as this movie is, except it's real.
that said, it was easier to watch than i expected, it made me cry, congrats to it. very r, multiple decapitations, my fave kind of superhero movie. either way i think more people need to read actual comics to understand the full spectrum of ratings and content they span, so they can stop thinking superhero content has a specific lane to stay in
sad movie, the young girl is very talented!
While I can appreciate making a film about worn out and beaten down superheroes, I didn't think this story was anything special. It's still mutants battling villains without the leather costumes or caped pajamas. Yes, Jackman and Stewart are really good but the story is nothing to get excited over. It features Professor X and the Wolverine as we've never seen them before but I much prefer them when not so depressed and desperate.
One thing that did surprise me, and not in a pleasant way, was the over-the-top gore. I guess folks who have always wanted to see the real damage inflicted by Wolverine's razor sharp claws got their wish. Pay attention to the R-rating. This superhero movie is not for the kiddies or the squeamish.
I love each movie about The X-Men. And I look forward to seeing more
As someone who hasn't seen any of the other x-men films as of writing this review, this film is fucking amazing! Who would've thought a senior, a middle aged man, and a young girl would work so well together. I don't have a ton to say about this film, just amazing all around
Lemme set the scene, its my 5th time going cinema to see this film and it is a BAFTA screening and at the end of the film before the Q&A I got to meet Hugh Jackman and people he is one of the most loveliest actors I have ever met in my entire life..........this made me love the film even more :)
But lets get to the topic of this film, Logan is my favourite superhero film of all time and it might be one of my favourite films of all time as it is full of emotion, passion, Oscar worthy performances and a story that is the perfect send of and love letter to Hugh Jackman (Wolverine / Logan). Logan shows that this is a world where most of the mutants have all been hunted down or have died due to other reasons (I don't wanna spoil it) and the only mutants that are still alive from the original crew is Logan, Professor X and Caliban this makes this film even more emotional knowing this.
This film is flawless in my opinion as it is a love letter to the comic book genre but also to film and this is all down to the masterful direction from James Mangold who with every frame you can feel his passion for this character but also his love of cinema as it borrows from Sci-Fi, Westerns and weirdly enough horror in one scene in particular. The film revolves around Logan and Professor X helping to get a little girl across the country who is trying to escape from a group hunting down all the new mutants, but i really don't wanna spoil any of this if you haven't watched any trailers.
All of the performances in this film are just amazing, Hugh Jackman (Logan / Wolverine) could easily have been nominated for a best actor award at the Oscars as he is truly amazing in this and one of his best performances both acting wise and physically as he plays the ageing Logan so well and you will definitely cry at some of the moments if you grew up with this character. Also, Patrick Stewart (Charles Xavier / Professor X) gives one of his best performances as well and will once again make you cry but will also make you laugh. Lastly, Dafne Keen (Laura / X-23) is just so perfect in this film and I really do hope when she gets older they bring her back as this character as she embodies X-23 really well.
This 1000% R-Rated and you know this from the first moment, so if you don'y like gore stay away and otherwise please please please watch this movie because it is just one of the greatest and just make sure to have some tissues near by.
Hella violent but actual characters makes this a decent marvel film
"This is what life looks like. People who love each other. A home. You should take a moment... Feel it".
It's very rare that a X-men (or any superhero movie), could be the hardest thing I've ever progress in terms of my thoughts and feelings. Much hard when writing about it. Heck, I wouldn't even call it a superhero movie, but a mixture of both western and drama in disguise. No one is safe and the stakes are higher than before. While the villains themselves aren't anything I would call "great", but they did felt like a real threat and wasn't too cliché to the story.
Still...
"Logan" is one of the best non superhero movies I've seen in awhile. A sad but satisfying farewell to are fan favorite. A surprising character driven movie with real consequences. A bold and risky film that wouldn't have been made years ago in the hands of FOX. But I think it's the unexpected powerhouse that got me in many ways. Something the previous movies couldn't do.
Much darker and gruesome than I expected. Remember in "X-men: Apocalypse" when Wolverine goes on a full rampage and violently kills all the guards, but most of it was off-screen, even through you can clearly see blood on the walls. Well take that scene and imagine actually seeing him tearing through people. Yeah, it really goes for it and that ain't a bad thing.
Hugh Jackman has portrayed Wolverine for over seventeen years and this is by far his most powerful performance. It's the humanity and the depression of the character we never truly seen. Despite happening around him, Logan's true enemy is himself. Before the end of an era, he learns the meaning of family and being a hero for others. I know this may sound far-fetch, but I would go as far to say that Jackman deserves some award buzz for this. The raw emotion he brought to his scenes without any sloppy music under neath it, is achievement. Jackman will forever be Wolverine and nothing will top that.
Patrick Stewart delivers his last and most heartfelt performance as Charles Xavier. In this movie, he isn't the same Professor X who know and love. He is 90 year old, suffers from dementia, and has a dirty mouth. But at the same time, he's a father figure to Logan. The scenes between Stewart and Jackman are one of the few highlights of the film.
Dafne Keen was fantastic as Laura/X-23. She captures the characters inner emotions just by her facial expressions that says so much than dialogue. What's more impressive that this is her first major role and already I'm interested of what she dose next.
I have to give major credit to James Mangold for what he brings to this harsh, but beautiful film. I wouldn't say he's an absolute professional when it comes to action scenes and story, but the perfect balance of brutal and bleakness he brought to those scenes was freaking spot on. The Wolverine series have been all over the place in terms of quality and tone. Mangold gave me what I wanted for years and much more.
Overall rating: "Logan" is a special kind of ride that hits you in places you wouldn't expect. I grinned and cried at the right moments. And that last shot was just perfect.
Farewell bub.
I have watched this a few times and although a good movie in its own right, but seems like the opposite to all of the other movies where they overcome and win in the end, although its really a spinoff that does not make much sense compared to the rest of the movies.
To me it just feels so lame after all the other X-Men movies and kinda shits all over wolverine as a character, it also makes no real sense as we are supposed to believe that all the X-Men are gone and xavier is retarded now and somehow no one could prevent this even though there are X-Men that can see the future for example and also could just send wolverine back in time again to solve all problems like they did in future past or find a way to heal xavier, also the stupid, they are putting stuff in the food that hurts mutants, omg well i will just keep eating this crap and not for example grow my own which is hardly going to be something the X-Men could not manage to do lol.
I understand they just wanted to kill off logan so hugh jackman could finish playing wolverine but it just seems so stupid to do it like that, it would have been a much better movie had they managed to save wolverine at the end with another shot of that serum and he would have took the place of xavier as the leader of the X-Men.
So overall not a big fan of the writing in this one and it just seems kinda boring most of the way through.
Now this is my kind of comic book movie. Starts off ultra grim, violent, pessimistic, and gore filled and... well it doesn't really ever stop being that.
Patrick Stewart's run at playing Professor X in his final years of his life, suffering from dementia was wonderfully portrayed, and the revelation that he was the one that killed the X Men and the mutants in the end was stunning and heart breaking and about the bleakest end to that story I could even imagine.
Logan is broken and what I thought was alcoholism killing him, was actually his adamantium implants, degrading his bone over time as his control over them is lessened and his injuries heal slower by the day.
His new-found daughter, Lauren, is a great new character, showing an absolute viciousness and lack of moral compass out in the real world, with all of Logan's unbridled rage, with even more killing capability. Apparently they want to do a movie about her and I'm down for it. I don't care about the rest of her stupid little friends doing some kids X Men thing (though I heard thats exactly what they want to do, as the X Men spin-off, X Force) but if they manage to keep it dark, despite it being a bunch of kids, it could actually be surprisingly good.
Logan being both saved by his own genes (his final acceptance of familial love) and killed by his own genes (by X-24) is the ultimate send off to one of the most iconic characters in both comic and film history and they really need to let him stay dead for a long while before the inevitable re-cast. Hugh Jackman is synonymous with the role for anyone who has seen him play it.
Logan may be too dark for the usual MCU audience, but its a well done emotional story about accepting one's own choices and was a perfect ending to the character.
Overall I'd put it at top 5 comic book inspired movie ever. Sin City is #1. The first 2 Nolan Batman movies are 2 and 3. Then this immediately after those. Maybe that's just me, but I adored this movie. I might even be under-rating it in terms of score but, 8.
A very hard R for Hugh Jackman's last call as Wolverine, easily the most unapologetically dark, violent take we've ever seen from a Marvel property. It's a jolt at first, but also necessary to effectively and immediately shift the tone from the campier tendencies of the greater X-Men franchise to the sad, defeated near-future of this timeline.
There's a bucketful of carnage, but also a wealth of character moments, particularly between Xavier, Logan and Laura, the young mutant also known as X-23. This area has always been trouble for Fox's X-films, with so many faces cramming the screen that it can often be tough to remember names, let alone a convincing motivation. This time, that scope is kept intentionally narrow, and it bears ripe fruit. Particularly during the gut-wrenching final scenes, which not only deliver a strong sense of closure to all three arcs, but also reveal the troubling reality that tomorrow's heroes may have already been corrupted by the path they've unwillingly marched.
Outstanding work from the leading actors, particularly Jackman and Stewart, who have a long and successful chemistry together, and a surprisingly bright supporting effort from Stephen Merchant, of all people. It's a bold finale that should finally give mature fans of the genre something wet and meaty to sink their teeth into. Refreshing proof that not every superhero story needs to be bleached for a younger audience.
Best superheros movie ever created along with the first Deadpool
it's the best movie from fox's x-men universe without a doubt
great movie, but the timeline is stupid. professor x souldn't be alive anymore and logan/wolverine shoudn's have his adamantium claws, since we saw him losing in movie Wolverine.
Time to watch,,,,,my movie's
As much as the fights were getting a bit repetitive by the end, this is still one of the most well-done super hero movies i've ever seen. It grips you from start to finish and it's hard to watch at some parts, but it truly elevates the genre in a way that hasn't been done since the Dark Knight Trilogy. It shows what real life would actually look like if there were enhanced people in it, without unnecessary comedy to lighten up the mood, without flashy fireworks (not that there's anything wrong with that, but something different is definitely welcomed right now). I just loved it so much.
The only reason I'm not giving it a 10 is cus from all the x men movies, this one included, Logan/Wolverine never really became a favourite, he's just not the sort of character that wins my heart over. Laura on the other hand... love her so freaking much.
9/10
Logan takes a giant sh** on the X-Man franchise, destroying everything fans have come to enjoy. Set in a distant future where mutants are nearly extinct Logan works as a part-time limo driver caring for a mentally ill Charles Xavier, until a nurse informs him of a secret government program that’s genetically engineering new mutants and seeks his help in getting one of them, a little girl, to a safe haven in Canada. The film completely undoes everything Days of Future Past did (which was to create a better, more hopeful future), and presents a rather nihilistic view where nothing the X-Men did amounted to anything. The action scenes are really good, and take advantage of the R rating by not holding back on the blood and violence. And Hugh Jackman gives one of his best performances of the series. But Logan is just too dark and gritty, there’s no fun to it and it casts a shadow over the whole franchise.
This is the perfect ending for this character. We finally get to see the real brutal and bloody action. Hugh Jackman gives his best performance as Wolverine. Patrick Stewart is fantastic and Dafne Keen is amazing. I'm sad she hasn't been in anything else yet. This is by far the best X-Men movie but it wouldn't of gotten there without all the build up movies and call backs in this one.
It wasn't so bad. After all I shared this depressive mood with Logan - I also wanted this to end.
The generational change is inevitable, now one can escape from it.
This movie changed my perspective on superhero movies. Not only have I not seen any superhero movie tackle this kind of an outline before but also narrate it in a way that stays true to the genre. I love the superhero genre and am a big fan of the MCU movies. But I do consider them to be genre films in the sense that when they are merged with other genres it does feel new. For example, Cap America 2 mixed its usual theme with the spy genre. Although it was a great move, I don't think that aspect itself should be anything to commend on. My exact feelings for the reason Get Out was getting acclaim for. Merging genres to make your film look fresh does feel like a cop out in some ways. This is where Logan scores big. It is not just a great superhero movie but also a film which genuinely wants to tell a story. It succeeds in it and how!
There's no way this movie can resonate with everyone because it doesn't cater to the usual superhero tropes. I mean the protagonist is a has-been and not in a way in which he overcomes his fear at the end and emerges on top. It is telling a story about a man who has a motive but he knows that it might be his last one. But to me he's still larger than life because he already knows it's not gonna do him any good. And that is what Wolverine has always been for me because pain has always been an integral part in his life. Hence, although his fate's evident, I can't hold my tears whenever I watch the end.
There is so much about Laura and Charles that I wanna talk about. Their conversations with Logan are probably the most important parts in the movie as they can make or break the tone. But Mangold knows what he wants as an end product so there isn't a way where it could've gone wrong. Laura obviously feels like a better version of Wolverine and not just in the way in which she annihilates her preys but also in the sense that she doesn't have many skeletons yet and goes in all guns blazing. Perfect heir to the Adamantium throne!! The professor stays in character which is probably more important than Logan being his old self because Logan still needs his truth serum every now and then. Not that any of that helps since he bites the dust in the most frustrating way possible.
The Dark Knight trilogy is arguably the best in the genre for a very simple reason. It has a texture that it doesn't break. I'll say the same for Logan. Or maybe it's just that I have a type. But I really can't remember a movie introducing a character in such a bad-ass manner.
Jackman and Stewart as great as ever but the Oscar goes to Dafne Keen. I hope we see more of her... and soon!
I really hate this movie.
Cool, realistic and sad. I loved the movie. One of the best.
I could have done without this type of ending. This is a bit dark for my tastes.
Best superhero movie so far. It gives you such an realistic feel before it takes on to being coolest moves witg twists.
Good movie but a bit too violent for my taste. Overall the story was okay but a very depressing ending to such an iconic character.
Great action sequences - with a very moody Hugh Jackman.
Pretty good. I loved seeing the evolution of the characters, but I think the hype was too much for me. I found myself checking my watch a bunch.
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO YOU JUST CANT KILL HIM OFF.. WHY WOULD YOU DO SUCH A THING!!????? NO NO NO JUST NO!
Raw and Heartbreaking, Visceral and Nostalgic. These are words that define this exciting and melancholy journey of Hugh Jackman in his final interpretation of Wolverine.
I don't know. I wasn't bored, but it wasn't good.
Somehow they made me not give a damn about the mayor deaths.
No further words needed beyond "grab a seat a watch it"...
This is the real Superhero movie!! its not like the others marvel movie.. this is EPIC !! Touching and Dramatic like a normal life. Really recomended!!! if there is a million star to rate, i will rated that!! The Perform Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart is a wonderful!!! this is will be a movie to remember!!
I was expecting much more from a marvel film. After watching it, I saw a review saying how great the performance of the kid was... Ok she seems to be bilingual because of her family situation, but I found she shouts too much and quite hysterical...
The action... so much blood, so much violence, the feels :')
stand alone at it best
a fair conclusion for this character story arc.
good the Actors and the picture. average job from the director but still good.
nice and clear.
Makes you feel nostalgic for things you don't know or remember. Absolutely loved it. Hugh Jackman is brilliant, as always.
"This is what life looks like. People who love each other. A home. You should take a moment... Feel it".
It's very rare that a X-men (or any superhero movie), could be the hardest thing I've ever progress in terms of my thoughts and feelings. Much hard when writing about it.

Farewell bub.
Great movie. I watch all stand-alone Wolverine movies and this one is by far the best.
It's great that they tried this approach. Even though the movie had some flaws in the middle of the movie.
Anyway: Great Performance by Hugh Jackman.
I tried so hard not to cry at the end, but couldn't hold myself. Saying goodbye to someone you just started to appreciate hurts a lot. Overall it was a great movie, full of emotion and raw action.
It was good. Logan’s dead seemed meaningful tho, it still doesn’t feel right.
Are you serious? Inexistent plot, poor action! A child of how many years? 14? That fight against the world...sorry but it's not the kind of film that I expected
This was one of my most anticipated movies this year. It was all I had hoped for. This is, as mentioned by others, not your typical superhero blockbuster action movie. It is not an x-men movie as such. Its title is simply "Logan". You have a story here and then you get this bursts of short intense action sequences.
It´s a great swan song for the characters of Logan and Charles.
About to enter the world of X-Men: The Next Mutants Yeah.. You know what I'm talking about after you watch this..
I believe that I am about to disagree with quite a few people now. You see, I did not like this movie.
Not that this came as much of a surprise to me. What I got was pretty much what I expected. From a technical point of view the movie is quite well done. Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart are doing good jobs as always. The action scenes are good. The cinematography is not at all bad. If you are into tragic drama and do not mind the super hero twist of the movie then this is a movie for you. The technical qualities is why this movie gets any stars at all from me. If I would judge it by story only then it would have gotten zero, null, nada, nicths, rien, ingenting.
For me it was depressing, boring and not at all fun to watch. The only reason I watched it is because I, as a X-Men fan, simply had to watch it as well as having it in my collection but I would have been happier it this movie had never been made.
Wolverine is more or less an unpleasant drinking bum clad in filthy ragged clothes. Professor X is half insane and apparently dangerous to himself and the people around him. We get absolutely no explanation as to how this sad state of affairs.
The entire movie is dark in spirit with the X-Men all but died out and Wolverine and Professor X just waiting to die. Then in comes this female child who later turns out to be a female version of Wolverine. She pretty much lacks any form of charisma and she and Wolverine spends almost the entire time in a state of conflict, much due to Wolverine who seems to think everyone should go fuck themselves so that he can continue to self destruct.
The bad guys are the usual evil corporation doing experiments on X-Men, genetics etc. Supposedly they were behind the almost extermination of X-Men but of course they keep their own little army of “enhanced” humans that doggedly harasses Wolverine & Co. There are some nice action sequences but there is really no good overall boss. No one with enough Charisma to take the role of the main adversary unless you count X-24 who only took part in a few parts of the movie.
By the way, why the fuck do Wolverine, Laura as well as X-24 have to grunt like horny monkeys when they fight?
The story is rather predictable with no major surprises, little depth and low on logic. A typical Hollywood drama. Not really anything to write home about.
The movie is just so depressing from start to finish. As a last farewell to Wolverine and Professor X it is almost insulting. I know a lot of people seem to like it but I cannot understand why. At least not if you are a X-Men fan.
Awesome Movie!!! Too bad it's the last one
One of the best X-Men movies, that's for sure. I watched the noir version (black and white) and it was fantastic, visually beautiful and had a great feel to it.
It was amazing, I'm a huge Hugh Jackman fan and I like X-men saga, but this one it's one hell of a ride... Way to brutal for my normal taste, but it works perfectly in this movie. The best, indeed. I'm happy leaving Logan with this movie. Great, great, great movie!
the movie is totally awesome
And then + becomes a X. Can't stop clapping! The best X-Men movie by far!
Excellent. Probably the best of them all
The film that the Wolverine deserves, anything before this shall be omitted from X-Men history
The title is incomplete, it should be "Logan, the Babysitter" or maybe "Logan, the bloody nanny". A movie for those who enjoy with the scene of Hawkeye's family in Avengers 2.
Better than all other x men movies combined!! period
Wow.. Raw, violent yet still beatiful, funny and sad. Strong performances by all (newcomer Dafne is impressive) , this film never misses a beat. Now, please close your browser and go see this if you haven't...
It was funny to see Logan so weak I was impress with the kids new generations.
Im sorry to see Logan leave. But if he has to go the writters certainly sent him packing in style. the Death of logan could not happen based on so many things in this story. what was piosioning him? his body regenerates quickly, even if pioson was inside him wouldnt he heal faster than the internal pioson?
Secondly if loganhas to die, what better villian to take his life than Logan himself? overall this was an ok watch. but still bugged about the ending
[9.2/10] The Wolverine, the predecessor to Logan, focused on the notion of immortality as both a blessing and a curse, showing its protagonist contemplating the release of death as a release from the trauma of the horrors he’d witnessed and participated in. It presented a man on torn by that internal conflict, trying to decide what’s worth living for.
Logan both deepens and doubles down that internal conflict. The man we meet in the film, set in the not too distant future of 2029, has no more dilemmas about life versus death. He wants to die, seeming only to stick around to fulfill his responsibilities to Charles Xavier, the last living man to show kindness to him and see the best in him. He is a man ready to detach from the world, who believes that connections and belonging to others only leads to more pain and puts the people he cares about at risk.
Some number of Decades after the events of the prior X-men films (as Deadpool noted, the timeline’s pretty confusing), the dream of Professor X -- of his gifted students as a beacon of light unto the world -- has curdled into a sad reality, where mutants are going extinct and the idea that they could join together and benefit humanity has turned into a select few scrappers and survivors eking out an existence until the clock runs out.
In that, Logan’s closest analogue is less other films in the superhero genre, or even Westerns like Shane that the movie pays homage to, but Children of Men. It shares the same struggle against bleakness, the same worn out world its character inhabit, the same sense that hope for what comes next has dwindled down to nothing. And it shares the premise of one hollowed out man struggling to ferry the possible last hope for his kind, the first new life in a generation, to a sanctuary he may not even believe in.
It’s also a generational story, one that positions Wolverine between Xavier as his surrogate father, battling with a degenerative brain condition and still urging him to embrace the values of altruism and human connection despite the dire straights of their circumstances, and Laura, the equivalent of a daughter who shares Logan’s brusqueness and directness, not to mention his abilities and anger, but who also represents the idea that the next generation (no pun intended, Patrick Stewart) might do better, avoid the mistakes that still haunt Logan and keep him holding onto an adamantium bullet to wipe it all away.
With these weighty themes, Logan earns its R-rating regardless of how much blood is shed in its runtime. Nevertheless, it meets its quota of severed limbs and grisly scenes required of a picture freed from the constraints of tentpole PG-13 ratings. And yet, the gore rarely feels gratuitous. Instead, director James Mangold (who also directed The Wolverine) allows the audience to feel the brutality of Logan’s slashing and gutting. Instead of the weightless thrillride of most blockbuster action, there’s a visceral quality to Wolverine’s claws separating flesh from bone -- using the expanded palette of the R-rating to convey the horrors that Wolverine is and has been a party to, the vicious realities he’s ready to escape and grown so weary of.
That same sense of a worn down world emerges in the superlative cinematography and production design of the film. The opening portion of the film, set in the southwest, depicts a weathered wasteland amid technological advancements, with a blistering sun beating down on rusted spindles. The middle section gives way to night in the heartland, with darkened hues dancing around bits of light. And the final act of the film is full of naturalistic beauty, full of sumptuously shot forests and verdant landscape. The transition in settings as Wolverine and his coterie make their way to their destination, from barren land to a blooming wilderness helps symbolize Wolverine’s own internal journey from hopelessness to a belief that the chance for renewal is there.
It helps that Mangold brings outstanding performances out of all three of his leads. Stewart is mesmerizing, finding different notes to play in a man who’s remembering the unspeakable acts he’s responsible for, coping with the loss of his mental capacity and the cage that inevitably places him in, and still encourages a belief in a brighter tomorrow. Dafne Keen shines as young Laura, communicating determination and hints of the fire that once burned in her forebear in a mostly-wordless role.
And Hugh Jackman gives a performance worthy of what he’s claimed will be his last time donning the claws. After seventeen years with this character, Jackman’s Wolverine convincingly carries the weight of all that he’s done and seen, dismissive of the greater mission Xavier once again tries to instill in him, grappling with disappointment, in himself and the potential for something greater he once begrudgingly but earnestly bought into, and allowing himself, bit by bit, to consider the possibility that there are things still worth risking your life for, not just worth ending it.
The third act of the film hits some of these notes a little too hard, and gives into more of the standard superhero flick playbook than the prior, transfixing two-thirds of the film. But even there, as the sober atmosphere of the film gives way to some cheese and action, Logan keeps its themes at the heart of the film, creating an appropriate culmination to nine films’ worth of development of Wolverine that embraces where the character’s been and connects to where he began.
That is the question Logan is most concerned with -- was all of that worth it? While the film takes Wolverine’s past in broad strokes (thankfully largely omitting his misadventures in Origins), it takes those prior stories as fodder for the idea that Wolverine has strived and suffered and now finds himself questioning whether it got him, or the people he loved, or anyone for that matter, to anything approaching a better place, or if it all crumbled into nothing anyway.
Mangold, Jackman, and the rest of the film’s creators take the hardship, the piercing, hollowing out qualities of that sort of contemplation seriously, allowing it to weigh down their protagonist and the world he inhabits. But it’s not a film that wallows. Instead, Logan pulls no punches with what haunts Wolverine, but offers a chance for the lapsed hero to be redeemed, to see his fight and his existence, the path that Xavier set him on so long ago, leading to a chance for their successors to do more and do better. It is meditative and visceral, dispiriting and hopeful, showing a man ready to die, to cast off all that he was and did, rediscovering the promise, the justifying pull, of a worthwhile future, even one he may never see.
The movie is served well by the fact it follows a few characters. The viewer gets to develop an interest in seeing what happens to them. It stands in contrast to other movies that are so jam packed with characters that each one barely gets enough screen time for a one or two lines. The movie dedicates a good amount of time to character development, while still having the flashy action blockbuster movie goers expect.
Patrick Stewart is superb at portraying his role as an aged man. Charles is proud and wise at what's truly important in life, yet he has to accept that his body is now frail and tired. I think this Charles will resonate strongly with anyone caring for an elderly significant other. But at the same time, he's almost unrecognizable compared to the Charles Xavier character from past movies.
Dafne Keen also stands out. She has the most character development as Laura. Laura's detachment and keeping a distance from people she distrusts seemed realistic and reminiscent of unaccompanied minor refugees in today's world. The bond between her and the elderly Charles is acted out well as it is unspoken.
Even Hugh Jackman tries with the script he's got. He didn't nail the clone character, partly due to how it's scripted.
Once again Hollywood can't write a tidy script if their lives depended on it. The bad guys seem able to monitor what the clone sees, yet they haven't put something in his body to shut him down/control his movements? If the clone doesn't follow orders precisely, then he's as 'defective' as the mutant children. And why doesn't he have an earpiece or implant to communicate with his handlers?
The video Gabriela leaves behind works to explain the backstory to the movie, except for why the comic book has the meeting coordinates. The comic book makers know about the mutant children or use it as a meeting point anyway? If so, then shouldn't someone be there to guard the meeting point and receive newcomers?
It would've been fine if the coordinates were handwritten in the comic book as they were on the back of Laura's group picture. Or leave the comic book out of it. Laura's group picture would have been enough, as that's what the bad guy found. Logan would see the picture, know the coordinates point to the middle of nowhere, and treat it with the same doubt and disdain as he does when he sees the comic book.
On the other hand, Charles' powers were still strong enough to paralyze a building full of people, and to communicate with Laura; Plus Laura knows how to sense and engage multiple enemies, but neither sensed Logan's clone killing people as he comes! Given his powers and intelligence, Charles' death was pathetic and anti-climactic. Laura's speech at the grave site injects some much needed emotion and recaptures the viewer. But there was no saving the next death.
Logan's death destroys what's left of the viewers' suspended disbelief. We have seen Logan manage to heal from all sorts of injuries. Even his illness isn't completely stopping his ability to heal, and he should be an expert at surviving fights. What the hell was wrong with him anyway? I thought Laura would somehow be the key to cure his illness.
The shot he took healed all his previous injuries, Thus, he shouldn't be so weak after it wears off. With a body full of adamantium, it shouldn't be so easy to kill him simply by impaling him to a tree. Couldn't the enemy shoot adamantium bullets or some weapon that could give him a mortal wound? Unless that was an adamantium tree, nothing adds up. His death was so unbelievable that after he was buried I expected to see the movie end with his claws sticking out of the ground.
Instead, the movie just sort of ends blandly.
Oh Logan :( my all time favourite superhero
why are you reading more comments watch this film now or you will regret it best wolverine film to date, was the right decision to make it more gory hes a character with retractable blades its a no brainer that he would make a mess of anyone having a fight with him.
I see why others here raved and cheered. But to me, this was 80% of the time a Logan that was miserable und pretty much a dick to everybody. Yes, I understand why but this dude needs a couch and someone to talk to. I would not want to see this again.
I may have been a bit harsh on this the first time around. Sure some of the gore and swearing feels a bit forced and pandering and the end seems a bit anticlimactic, given this characters legacy. But as western styled farewell for Jackman it actually works fairly well. The character is filled with pain and regret. He's a broken man, who's lost everything and is barely able to keep going on. It's a sad end to a tragic mans journey. The gimmicky "Noir" version adds nothing to it though...
Well, there goes my heart. Wolverine has been my favorite X-man from the beginning, and his story throughout all the movies was very interesting. This movie, however, shows a completely different side of him, side I couldn't imagine him having. Action packed, dramatic, heartbreaking... Logan is amazing. Kudos to everyone that took part in making this.
Its not my favorite X-Men film but Logan is a very special movie. Its a great send off to both Hugh Jackman as Logan/Wolverine and Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier. Its emotional and dramatic first but when the action is in full swing its hard to beat. Dafne Keen is incredible and will likely be one of the best child performances of the year. Logan thrives because it remains so disconnected for the rest of the X-Men movies. I really hope that Fox can continue to bring the originality with their superhero projects.
Loved it. It was such an action packed emotional ride. It showed a different side to our heros.
This is the dark realism that this franchise has been waiting for. Too bad it's the final film for the best character. The only negative thoughts that I had about the movie was the overabundance of spanish dialogue. If you want some of the dialogue to remain a mystery, you can't use a language that half your audience speaks, and the other half doesn't. And if it's not a mystery, use subtitles. It was just annoying. Other than that, it was a really engaging movie. The action scenes were directed amazingly (maybe I just have low standards after the god awful directing of all the marvel movies), and the one thing that was always missing was finally added: blood. That may sound juvenile, but think about how stupid it is to show a man slice through another man's body without so much as a drop of blood coming out. It was what made any scene with wolverine inherently corny in all his other movies. It just looked stupid, like violence for kids. This was a movie for people who don't like being taken out of movies. No cheesy jokes, no stupidity. This was an easy one to get through.
And Stephen Merchant!

Wow!! Such an amazing movie for the X-men franchise. Beautiful story and superb acting. Still in shock at the ending. Cried a few times during this. Damn....so good but can't believe we won't see anymore Logan. :-(
Heartbreaking film. Lost for words.
This isn't your typical big blockbuster X-MEN film. Unlike literally every superhero movie released, "Logan" is not a plot driven by someones superpowers and
God damn that wasssssssss ..........GOOD!!!
i can't think of anything right now other that the words HOLY and SHIT
Brutal!! Amazing!! Fantastic!!
An incredible movie. An incredible hero.
Great movie not your usual superhero or X-Men movie Very gritty down to earth has some great themes to it deals a lot with aging adapting to the times death and caring on Legacies through younger Generations which are all very real and powerful things which is part of what makes this movie so great
it's really interesting to see Heroes like this old down on their luck and forgotten
Good movie! There won't be another Wolverine like #HughJackman.
While I very much disliked Wolverine in Japan, Logan is a really good movie. Seems the producers have learnt from past mistakes. It's also not just all fairy tails steering towards happy endings, its actually pretty dark, rough and less predictable... totally worth watching
Sincere, heartwarming and satisfyingly violent.
I don't understand why they keep making movies about the least interesting character of X-men. The guy just has blades, nothing really special.
this is a great movie
peace out....
This is the first and only Marvel I loved in 10 years (and didn't hate).
It's mature, believable with actual characters and development. It actually spoke to my age and not to 13 year olds, with the father-son-kid relationship of Logan and Charles.
It had its real life humor and not Chuck Lorre sitcom lame jokes.
The action scenes were nice and didn't take all the focus, even with the usual "villain-boss" here.
Great performances by Jackman and Stewart, and the girl. Even dramatic I would say.
I highly recommend if you like the universe but especially if you're fed up with the usual predicable pattern, like me.
This was the "Unforgiven" of the Super hero genre. It displayed the best of the genre while grounding it in emotion and reality, taking the sparkle out of its glorification and giving us an excellent movie.
i've never felt like this before, there wasn't a superhero movie like this one. i don't know how to carry on right now, how to see the superhero world. we all knew this day was coming since we first saw Hugh Jackman in the role. western vibe, rollercoaster movie, emotional, heartbreaking, bittersweet, the ending will tear your heart out!. RDJ, Chris Evans, Ryan Reynolds, Chris Hemsworth, Hugh Jackman! these are actors who are irreplaceable. now the question that's going through everyone's mind is Who's Next?! and honestly NO ONE. #ThankYouHughJackman #Logan #Wolverine.
Dafne Keen is fantastic. Can't wait for more movies with her as X-23. This is not just a great X-Men or superhero movie but a great movie. Period. Hugh Jackman delivered an award-worthy perfomance.
Logan, you still have time
This movie is insanely good - but bring tissues, you're in for a roller coaster of emotion.
Yes this is a very dark portrait of wolverine, the kid was of course amazing but i wanted to like it even more as a movie.

I would have loved to like this more and still 7/10 isn't a bad rating but there was so little new and such tropes of villains that I just did not enjoy this entirely. Of course the old warrior going into battle one last time, passing on the torch trope works, performances were good and all that melancholy hit home. I also liked that this was less of a superhero movie but very personal and rather grounded. On the flip side it was a bit annoying that everything of importance was so immediately linked to Wolverine. Whilst it would be okay to have him meet his genetic daughter, it is a bit too much for me that an institution trying to raise obedient super soldiers cannot come up with a better idea than cloning Wolverine.
Plus it took me out of it each time these children who were raised in a closed environment with no education by mexican nurses behaved so entirely normal speaking English like a first language. They could have easily taken a page from Stranger Things' Eleven
