I was pretty excited to see this movie when I first heard the premise. I thought it would do well as a character focused movie - but the character's were hardly explored - with next to no character dialogue. When Charles and Logan do talk -I was pretty excited to see this movie when I first heard the premise.

When Charles and Logan do talk - the word **** is so overused that it loses all impact. I guess FOX wanted to follow up with the success of Deadpool but it tonally doesn't work. The characters at best service the situation at worst are completely devoid of any true character. I found myself feeling disconnected and bored - fighting to stay awake during this 2h 18m run time.

Do not have any expectations for this movie. Maybe you'll like it - mileage may vary as they say.… Expand

Bence seriye yakışmıyor. Çok tekdüze ve basit. Yazar resmen hikayeyi yarıda bırakmış. Bu filme herkes nasıl yüksek puan vermiş merak ediyorum. Nedenlerini dinlemek isterim.

Part of me wants to give this movie a 0 just8.8 user score for this movie is the reason why the US president is Donald Trump. You guys clearly, blindly love guns and blood in movies, paying $10 to see the same movie every few months, ugh...

Part of me wants to give this movie a 0 just to bring the user score down, but I have to be honest and rate it higher. It's not a 0. But it is definitely a 3.

Most of what makes this movie a 3 is the plot holes, and how inaccessible it is as a standalone film for those that aren't Wolverine die-hard fans. Actually, I don't know if being a die-hard fan might make the movie WORSE for you, because it's a bad movie of something you like. Anyways, I know people think that those who gripe about plot holes are jerks that are overly critical and hate fun, but that's not me. I like fun. I think if you make a movie about an action hero, it's probably going to be an action movie, and we all know there isn't any shortage of movies with fight/gun scenes, so you have to freakin' do something to separate yourself from just being another action movie... Logan (the film) does this mostly by throwing Logan (the character) in our face with different sides of his emotional character.

Why is he so sad? Why is he suicidal? Why does he do anything he's doing? Why does it feel like he's given up? I was interested in these sides of his character, but near the end of the movie just didn't care anymore because I was so bored. The movie makes Logan-claw-action scenes boring by then, by having too many of them. The characters talk too much and simultaneously say too little, and this movie isn't dialogue driven at all. Near the end of the movie I strongly suspected that X-23 and/or Logan were primal screaming just to wake up people who may have fallen asleep in the theatre. Anyways, I'll mention some good parts about this movie:

-I thought some of the action stuff was creative. But there is too much "meh" action in this movie.

-The movie has a certain atmosphere to it. But it doesn't really do much with the atmosphere. It's just one of those things that could have been done better, so it's barely a plus.

-The gore is surprising and satisfying, but near the end you will not care anymore.

Now the bad, and then after I will list some huge plot holes:

-X-23 is not mute but gives the weakest excuse for not talking until close to the end of the movie.

-Logan is WAY too tortured of a protagonist in this movie. It gets annoying after a while. Like, stop complaining and finish the mission.

-Who the HELL are these antagonists? They might as well have been the grey putty men from Power Rangers, holy cow the movie doesn't explain their motives well enough.

-Logan's "powers" are good when broken up by other mutant powers, but this movie attempts to carry itself using only Logan's powers (and guns of course, Hollywood's favorite prop for moving movies along these days). It does not work to good effect. When other powers are introduced it is only at the end of the movie.

-When X-23 turns the cross on Logan's grave to make an "X," I hard-cringed in disgust.

Now for plot holes, which I know you all have been waiting for me to get to:

-Okay, you have to get to North Dakota, why the HELL are Logan, X-23 and Prof. X stopping so damn much? What's with all this side-questing??? GET TO THE OBJECTIVE, STOP LOLLYGAGGING AND GETTING THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU KILLED.

-Logan's friend, Calaman or Kalavan, whatever his name is, kills himself so that the antagonists can't use him to track Logan and X-23 anymore near the end of the movie... but why doesn't he do this AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE MOVIE???

-Near the end of the movie, why are the children running away from the soldiers? They have POWERS, which they later use in unison against the main antagonist, WHY NOT BUNKER DOWN AND FIGHT THE SOLDIERS THAT ARE COMING AFTER YOU???

-How does Logan run 8 miles that quickly? He caught up to helicopters, armed trucks and the children he chased after to rescue at the perfect time, what is this nonsense?

-Why does Logan even die? Are you really telling me that the children ran out of green juice that heals Logan on the exact date that they were rolling out to make it to the final safe haven???

-Why does the movie end BEFORE we see the final safe haven???

To conclude:

With the 5000 char limit on Metacritic I can only condense my anger at this film, but I have so many more words. This review may have come through as sporadic, shotgunning my disdain for the terrible tropes of Hollywood filmmaking at a film based off of something that I liked growing up, something that stood for a cool berserker rage that is supposed to be aimed at a faceless evil we all want to lash at. If I could transform this movie into such a force, redirecting our loved berserker back at Hollywood, I would want this action to convey that this is a bad movie, and those who made it should feel bad for making it.

I asked for my money back afterwards...… Expand

It's an across the board rampant problem. ThisWhat is this thing 2.5 hours for?! The current crop of studio exec donkeys have no say, no balls, no brains anymore not to start putting an end to these self indulgent bloated overlong flicks! It's an across the board rampant problem. This thing would do better at 90 minutes, and don't make the argument it has been doing just fine as is because it can always be better. These filmmakers can't even turn in a reasonable length cut anymore and are too stupid to realize we out here are sick and tired of sitting through their padded formulaic slogs. The only people satisfied by it are pushover geeks, shills in the jackass critics herd, or those who haven't seen many movies in their lives. Those of us not in one of those three categories find the formula so very, very tired. Little girl and tough guy. Never seen that before. R rated comic book movie as western? The novelty wears off in the first twenty minutes. This director has made good movies, most notably the excellent "Copland" (10 rating here), so he knows what he's doing. And Jackman is a good actor and big star, so why can't he make a single good adult movie? "The Prestige" was an almost, good right up until the end. "Prisoners" sure as ---- was not! You look at the track record of big action-drama stars over the years, everyone from McQueen to Eastwood to Ford, and so many others and all made many venerable movies which hold up for all audiences. That's how they became big stars. Now a physical look and a superhero franchise falsely give an actor that status. It's not legit. * The "Deadpool" short/scene tease playing with the feature is awful! The audience (the built-in audience that is) did not react at all. No laughs, no clapping, nothing. Dead silence. Meaning they also thought it sucks! That character and new franchise along with its actor are a degenerate embarrassment no matter what the geek legions say.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was actually really excited to see this movie, mainly because of all of the positive things I had seen and heard about it. I came away thinking that the action was cool, I liked the interaction and development between Logan and Charles, and I liked the unfiltered dialogue. However, as a whole, I thought the movie was pretty terrible. It was immediately obvious when they stayed in the farm house that the whole family would die (and that weight didn't really seem to bother Logan). The other mutant kids were all pretty useless and stupid too. Why did they all gang up to defeat the human villain instead of actually doing anything useful to help Wolverine fight X24? I mean, they showed that they actually had some useful and cool abilities but nope... just going to watch X24 kill Wolverine. Oh, and when they showed the Adamantium bullet, you knew that would come back. And that deus ex machina was actually terribly executed... If an adamantium bullet could actually kill them, how come any time they cut each other with their adamantium claws it could heal? WTF?!?! Oh and good **** lord was this movie too long... really really too long. By the end, I was laughing at parts that were supposed to be weighty, like the Shane speech lmfao. All in all... what the **** was everyone watching when they thought it was one of the best movies of the year? It was one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time. Not the worst only because I recently watched Honey Dripper...… Expand

Extremely bloody, profane, raw and disturbing. Logan has a theme of kidnapping and child abuse, which is hard to watch because these kids are being hunted down by all. It scared me to see a family murdered one by one, and I was a bit freaked out. The script is very lazy, with many swear words inside. The good part of this movie is the acting. Hugh Jackman did a fantastic job as Logan, but the other characters' performances do not fit in as much with Hugh Jackman's style. Patrick Stewart does not do such a great job as a leading role, and it almost seems like Hugh Jackman has to be there all the time in the scene so we don't completely freak out. I understand how some people would like this movie, speaking of which that it is "Marvel's Dark Knight." I am not a huge fan of superhero films, nor am I a fan of dark superhero films, but this one seemed different. I'd rather see a movie where I could follow along and enjoy the plot and suspense as we go. The plot in Logan isn't that spectacular, and they use references to the X-Men comic books in the movie just to remind us that this movie was based on a deep comic strip. This is only my opinion, but I wished the violence wouldn't be so non-stop, bloody and cheesy. Not a fan of these films, and it has ruined my small liking of superhero films. I do like LEGO Batman, though!… Expand

The ending was just bad as well and stabbed your heart even deeper.

They tried so hard to make a superheroes movie seem realistic, but then failed on many things. They also left many things unexplained. You're just getting thrown in in this "new world".

If you really like Wolverine and the other characters depicted, you shouldn't watch this movie. Its just sad, as if the writer of the script wanted to kill himself.
But I guess if you're depressed and want to see other people suffer, too, then this is the movie you will like.… Expand

Fox will no longer beat the dead horse of a sterilized vision of Marvel's more adventurous comic book series.

While it's nice to see action scenes not obscured by the usual shake-cam garbage that plagues most movies, the violence is Peckinpah-esque and I guess that will appeal to the man-child sociopaths who will be flocking to this movie for their dose of male power fantasy.

Cons: A further continuation of Fox's butchering of the Logan character. Without Wolverine's failed samurai / weeaboo aspect or any hint of the internal conflict that made up a crucial part of the character (his bestial side) the character lacks any sort of nuance. Instead the only real internal conflict comes from his pining for the redhead girlfriend of the king of toolbags: Cyclops.

Everything is so serious. Much of the movie's framing assigns importance and gravity to the ridiculous and frankly silly plot points and scenes.

In a phrase: it tries too hard.… Expand

Even beyond the gore, clear setup and failed execution of comic relief, and depressing atmosphere, Logan has a muddled plot that ditches exposition and character development in favor of comic book references and severed limbs.

Logan has theEven beyond the gore, clear setup and failed execution of comic relief, and depressing atmosphere, Logan has a muddled plot that ditches exposition and character development in favor of comic book references and severed limbs.

Logan has the setup of a standard Marvel movie, attempting to balance gritty, engaging action with light-hearted comic relief. Its sad, dark angle befits the premise: the main character is being poisoned by his own super-powered skeleton. This angle, however, crosses the line from dark to melodramatic as mentions and visual imagery of blood, pus, brains, and guts overshadow the "internal struggle" Logan is supposed to be enduring. The supposed "deep existential crisis" that Logan suffers regarding his repeated murders of people around him is unbelievable when he repeatedly, intentionally goes out of his way to kill people when he had the option to do literally anything else. His counterweights, the optimistic Charles Xavier and adorable daughter Laura balance out Logan's grit and angst...or, that is, they would if they had anything meaningful to say throughout the movie. Laura is mute until the very end, which serves as a clever bait-and-switch at the expense of her narrative potential as a character, and Charles spends most of his time on screen explaining that Logan is indeed dying without adding why it's happening or what to do about it. Even the villains are carelessly slapped together: their organization manufactures child soldiers from the DNA of mutants like Wolverine and are trying to track down Laura and the other mutants like her because they are the creations of said organizations and do not deserve to see the outside world. Individually, however, these characters have no depth. There's a scientist, a bounty hunter, and a Wolverine clone, and that's all you'll ever learn about them.

The Good: convincing acting, Charles being adorable when he's not spouting faux exposition, Laura being charming when she finally opens her mouth

The Bad: sub-par comic relief, lack of clear exposition and motivation for villains, two most engaging characters rambling on about how Logan is "being POISONED" and staying mute for most of the film, respectively

Verdict: I'd recommend this to die-hard fans of X-Men who would watch anything with Wolverine's face on it and literally nobody else. There is no substance to speak of in this Suicide Squad-esque cash grab of a film.… Expand

"Perhaps the best X-Men movie yet."
"This is honestly one of the best comic book movies of all time."

My turn, poopyheads.

Calling Logan the best X-Men movie because it's gritty and dark is like saying Revenge of the Sith is the best Star Wars movie because it's the most 'darkest'.

Logan is the worst movie I have seen in a long time. The senseless violence, the flat characters, and the painfully slow pacing take it in that path, and the utter and excruciating lack of plot set that in stone. I am absolutely astounded that this is getting good reviews, I honestly thought it would wither and die like Green Lantern or Fantastic Four(2015). Given the (the following words hurt my hands as I write them) 'critical acclaim' this movie is receiving, let me substantiate my review.

Plot: All through the movie people are dying and things are happening. But what is the purpose of it all? Good storytelling does not consist in throwing events into someone's face, good storytelling is making those events matter. All through the movie right until the end I kept asking myself two questions: 'So what?' and 'Why do I care?' And those two questions are the whole basis of good stories. Is it that hard to ask for a movie with characters I can care about? A compelling plot that at lease makes sense? To my dismay, I have read several reviews comparing this with Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy and I cannot in any way comprehend how people can insult Christopher Nolan to such a degree.

Violence: Clearly inspired by Deadpool, this movie features waterfalls of blood. Senseless violence that is neither fun nor necessary. The Passion of Christ, Se7en, and most Scorsese and Tarantino movies are good examples of a good way to employ violence in movies. This is a great example of a terrible way.

Characters: The only real character in the whole movie is Professor X, everybody else is flat and devoid of real purpose.

Pacing: Stupidly long and extremely poorly paced.

I do not recommend this movie to anyone.… Expand
