I wasn't really impressed with this film friends.

Acting was great. The action was average. The story itself was basic. The themes were decent but already done a million times but the underlying themes were down right demonic.

I'd say the fatalities in this film are what kept people engaged. Professor x scenes were well done and had the most imagination.

On a subliminal level this film had very racist undertones that put individuals of African, latin and Asian at the forefront of the Problem At hand. Essentially saying the best existence these childrrn can hope to have ideally, is as a dog of war, living in another country or in safe havens.

Not one mercenary was non-white but interestingly 95 percent of the child mutants were non-white.

There's something else going on with this film that's very disturbing, dare I say demonic.

Professor x and Logan ruining people's lives together essentially making case for their destruction. What a tragic film and demonic propoganda

I need that Wolverine and the Xmen series back on.

The streets is calling for season 2

When I came home Thursday night after watching Logan I watched two episodes of the 90s series just for the hell of it. Wolverine is not even my favorite X-Man but seeing his last hurrah has a brother feeling some type of way.

I was sure they were gearing up to have a newer Xmen with Logan taking Prof X spot. But...

 

[Return of the Jedi]

Why would they undue the DOFP future just to have mutantkind eliminated by some GMO food

‘Logan,’ ‘Deadpool’ and Why the World Is Ready for an R-Rated X-Men Film

Comic book movies aren’t just for kids.

“Logan,” the blood-drenched final chapter in the Wolverine saga, demonstrates that superhero films don’t have to be sanitized to succeed. Like “Deadpool” before it, the blockbuster differentiated itself from the flood of films about costumed heroes by embracing a hard R-rating. It’s no accident that Fox produced both movies. The studio, which licenses the rights to X-Men characters like Wolverine and Deadpool, seems intent on carving out a niche for itself by making grittier, tougher comic book fare that’s in stark contrast to Disney’s sunnier “Avengers” series.

“Fox needs to be bold and continue to blaze this trail,” said Jeff Bock, an analyst with Exhibitor Relations. “I think the world is now ready for an R-rated X-Men film.”

Box Office: ‘Logan’ Roars With Massive $85.3 Million Debut

So far, the strategy is working. “Logan” debuted to a massive $237.8 million globally and “Deadpool” ended its run with nearly $800 million worldwide.

“We have a clear direction and audiences are responding to it,” said Chris Aronson, Fox’s domestic distribution chief.

In an interview with Variety’s Kristopher Tapley last week, director and co-writer James Mangold said that he made a pact with Hugh Jackman, the franchise’s star, to lean into the character’s dark side. Logan is a former mercenary who has left a trail of blood in his wake. Like William Munny in Clint Eastwood’s “Unforgiven,” he is haunted by the lives he snuffed out.

“You’re just looking for a way, and I think the studios are too, to just shake things up because everyone feels that there’s a certain amount of exhaustion setting in,” said Mangold, adding, “We can’t keep doing the same movie over and over again.”

Mangold speculated that the world is ready for stories that have more gravity. Unlike “Deadpool,” which plays at time like a parody of the spandex genre, “Logan” is deadly serious. Like “Shane” or “Pale Rider,” it works as both an adventure film and a meditation on guilt and regret. In his talk with Tapley, Mangold argued that after an election that saw Donald Trump upend conventional wisdom by capturing the White House, the entertainment business must find ways to better reflect the chaotic current political climate.

“There was a convulsion on all levels,” Mangold said. Indeed, “Logan,” with its high body count and post-apocalyptic vibe, stands in stark contrast with the cultural moment — as the film was playing to full houses, Trump was at his most rococo, tweeting allegations about wire-tapping and taking swipes at Arnold Schwarzenegger’s “Apprentice” run.

In the late 1960’s, studios turned away from splashy musicals and biblical epics to concentrate on more character-driven films. Movies like “Bonnie & Clyde” and “The Wild Bunch” spoke to younger audiences who felt politically disenchanted. These ballets of bullets updated the crime film and the western, while speaking to people turned off by the war in Vietnam.

Even with protests sweeping the country, it might be unrealistic to expect that there will be many more films that use populist genres to make larger artistic statements or score political points. “Logan” or “Get Out,” a thriller about race relations, are commercially successful while being creatively bold, but there are financial reasons why they will remain anomalies. Most comic book movies boast budgets that are north of $150 million. They inspire toylines, adorn happy meals, and launch theme park rides. That kind of merchandising is where the real money is made. “Logan’s” violence may delight audiences and may tap into the zeitgeist, but images of Wolverine vivisecting bad guys won’t be appearing on lunch boxes any time soon.

Still, at a time when nearly every major studio is in the superhero game, Fox has

thoughts?

There was people in my theater brehs and I damn near did too!

What a movie and what an end to an era.

I'm glad they finally went the rated R route and did Wolverine justice. THIS was Wolverine. Keep in mind, I didn't mind the Japan joint, it was okay and a good movie compared to Origins.

The X-Men franchise as a whole is a crazy thing to look back on. There's some classic movies in that like Logan, like Days of Future Past and X2. Deadpool was done very well. X-Men: First Class was very good. Then there's others that weren't very good but overall FOX did a nice job with X-Men and this was a strong ass movie and performance from Jackman and Stewart and even the little girl

shyt I even was feelin for the homie Caliban
