It might just be me but this film reminded me heavily of the video game The Last Of Us. The relationship between Joel and Elle has more than a few similarities to the relationship between Logan and Laura. The overarching plot is almost exactly the same... Joel/Logan are given the task of taking the miracle child across the United States to a mythical Eden that they're both pretty sure doesn't even exist. Both Laura and Elle are ignorant/innocent about the environment around them because of the nature of how they were raised. Joel and Logan have become jaded and hardened by the destruction of the world that they knew and loved but find it within themselves to be good father figures even though they're flawed.

The film had some specific commentary about immigration and about how America is very often not what it's cracked up to be for all the hopeful immigrants who only know it by its storied (comic-like?) reputation. At the same time it makes the argument that when people are in fear for their lives in their own land that the only humane option is to seek out another... Not sure how I feel about the politics this movie gets into. At times it seemed too on the nose and at times it didn't take enough of a clear position.

O/A it was a good film with great performances from the leads, best X men movie that I've seen by far.

:russ::ehh: I pretty much ignored this film because a lot of the xmen universe movies were wack to me, I got convinced to go by a couple friends. It was a surprising direction considering where they went with the other films.

Talk about an action pack gut wrenching emotional thriller roller coaster ride of epic proportions on the levels never seen in comic book movie lure. I'm still a bit dejected hours after watching this film. Action scenes leaving you gasping and clenching as if your the one on the end of the adamantium claws. I guess u know what your in for when you see a child get impaled with a harpoon in the first action scene. But just as jaw dropping the fight scenes are, the emotional scenes and acting on display are just as riveting. Hugh Jackman as a decrepit wolverine hobbled, miserable, depressed and suicidal still filled with rage is just as riveting.

The intensity and drama is just so impactful throughout the film. Never has a comic book movie truly moved me and push the viewers to these limits. This isn't your feel good comic book movie. You can't help but feel powerless for these mutant heroes who were once seen as invincible. The scenes with wolverine/professor x and wolverine/ X23 were phenomal. Who'd thought marvel/fox could pull something of this magnitude and originality off.

Bravo :whew:

Watched it last night. I got a couple minor problems with it but over all it was a dope ass movie.
One scene in particular (the bullet scene, I'll just say that) I thought to myself "comic nerds are gonna be pissed". :mjlol:

It kinda turned into a more traditional comic movie in the second half but yeah, this shyt was dope. I highly recommend it.

Blood, cruelty, language




One girl flashes titties. As soon as you see him driving and see a bunch of college girls in the back of the car, it happens immediately.

I knew it was coming and was prepared.

Doesn't seem too bad
Thanks

How old is your kid?

It's not a kids movie for a lot more reasons than violence and t*ts. The movie is dark and depressing as fukk. Not saying whether you should take your kid or not but he might not get a lot of scenes depending on his age.
