Official Logan (Wolverine 3) Thread

Spoiler: Any theories on...

what exactly happened to the rest of the xmen? And how did we get to this point after the ending of DOFP?

Spoiler

Xavier killed the rest of the Xmen when he had one of seizures. When they were leaving the casino, the radio said that the same event happened years ago in Westchester and effected 400 people and killed 7 X....then Wolverine cut the radio off.

Spoiler

I think they were going with since his healing factor wasnt as great as it used to be, the lead was poisoning him

Martha

Lead ?

I just got back from seeing this. WOW!! They really did Wolverine justice. At first I was concerned with making X-23 so young, but DIZZAMN!!! She really did shine here. Hugh brought life to Wolverine and you can tell he left it all on the table for this one. I don't think he'll reprise it.

No review just yet. I'm kinda pissed I can't go over to the IMDB boards and discuss. I like The Wolverine, but this is a "How You Like Me Now" moment from Fox. Hopefully, they put just as much thought and heart into the next X-Films.

Spoiler

Dead 7 X-Men - Cyclops, Jean, Storm, Bobby, Rogue, Colossus, Kitty?

I also like how they flipped the OML storyline, making it Xavier instead

 

[lamont614]

Nah, it's an original story.

I see why you didn't like the movie

You pretentious fukk


I say that in a good way

Because this shyt had no plot no fukking story whatsoever



But fukk all that






The violence sweet Jesus the violence







Now that's action back to the good old days


Straight let my nuts hang



Didn't even know ol girl had that ability m

Thought she was going to be some ol gymnasts or some shyt that spider man ass nikka



She was thoro



Logan did his thing he reminded me of the grittty Logan from the comic books

3.5/5


If you don't give a fukk about a story
You just want gun play

6/5

I think I appreciate this more than I enjoyed it. Loved it in parts, but a lot just really bugged me. Mostly, that ridiculous "secret video" the nurse had on her phone. Everything about that was absurd. No chance in HELL she'd have that footage on a god damn cell phone lol.

That's sorta how I feel, but it's more like I appreciate what they tried to do, because even some of the thematic layers were handled very poorly. I said it before in my review but I don't understand why Mangold builds the entire movie up around the concept of "Violence begets violence", from the part where Laura is watching the movie Shane (which she quotes at the end) and the way things go down with the farmer family, only to pull some mind numbing stuff like:

Spoiler

...all of the kids becoming killers in the final battle. I understand the importance of Logan sacrificing himself to free Laura from the life he led, but it's kinda difficult to buy since she already has a body count going into the double digits before the 'dramatic' moment where she pulls the trigger on Clonerine. And again, all those kids have already turned into killers by that point too the way they dispatched the cannon fodder and banded together to murk the shyt out of Pierce (iron hand).

Also, I don't know how other brehs feel but I thought her calling him "daddy" at the end was not deserved at all. For all the deliberate slow pacing, the bonding between the two was abysmal and it felt like she bonded more with Xavier and that was when she didn't even speak.

 

[Mowgli]

Too emotionally unstable to write a sound review right now

Write the gat damn review

 

[R=G]

Twitter is acting like this is the greatest superhero movie of them all. Yeah right....lol.

 

[Roman Brady]

Well one black life did matter

I do disagree with one thing... the running time.... or I DEFINITELY felt it.... not saying I was ready for it to end..... but there were many slow parts where it was the kind of slow you know it wasnt setting up for something soon to hit you. I was kinda at that Tarantino pace at times.

The part where the got to the "meet up" that whole scene felt like 45 mins in itself



Martha

I could see your point

Spoiler

other than having him regenerate and get his signature beard cut those scenes could have been trimmed, the kids just weren't compelling at all. In fact they fukin sucked

I saw it tonight and... I'm trying not to review off a high but... I thought it was a masterpiece.

I thought the first Wolverine movie was trash and the 2nd one passable.
This one however may be in the Top 3/5 comic book movies.

The thought that instantly struck me after the beginning scene is how the hell could we stand to watch the Wolverine character in anything but an R rated film?
This is what we've been missing the whole time.
When you see him viciously maim someone with bloody punctures and gaping wounds you want to scream
at the screen and say, "This is what the fukk I'm talking about!"

Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart were REMARKABLE in this film, possibly Oscar worthy performances.
These are superheroes that have fought a 1000 battles and have lost a lot. Their vulnerability at this stage of game is heartbreaking to watch.
When X-23 enters their lives, she gives them another battle to fight and a possible chance of family. The little girl playing her was also excellent in the role.

Its funny, when I saw in the trailer that they had the X-Men comics in this world, I thought it was cheesy and jumped on the Deadpool 4th wall/meta shtick.
But it works and kinda passively swats down the arguments made by fanboys who get upset at these movies not following the comicbooks to a T.
In this (cinematic) world, there are real life consequences and you may not get to come back in the next issue.

I also like how small this film felt. Yes, there were big action sets but this, like Deadpool, felt more intimate and character driven.
Its a refreshing speed from the typical "we need to stop the big bad guy or the city/world/universe will explode" storylines.

Spoiler: Any theories on...

what exactly happened to the rest of the xmen? And how did we get to this point after the ending of DOFP?

Spoiler

I believe it was heavily implied that Xavier accidentally killed them all when he had his mental attacks. A lot of suggestions throughout the film that hinted to the from the incident at the school, him accidentally killing a lot of people to include Mutants, Logan keeping the incident a secret from Xavier and keep drugging him not just to suppress his power, but to suppress that memory. I suspect Xavier used cerebro when it happened.

 

[MartyMcFly]

I'm not sure this works. I mean, she had Uncanny X-Men comics from like the 90s and shyt...from before the first X-Men movie was made (and it was directly referenced in this film) and thus before Wolverine was on the team.

Did any of the other X films make reference to this? I'm struggling to see how this makes any damn sense.

Movies set far in the future tho so who knows what's happened

Yup that's what I took from it. One of the good things about the non hand holding
