achillesforever6 posted:Honestly with all the timeline fuckery I would be okay with the X-men franchise just being stand alone movies and saying "Oh well in this timeline this happened" It's honestly the best way of looking at them. Treat each film as it's own continuity and it all makes a lot more sense.

Logan was very good. Paired well with my head cold in that they're both aggressively unpleasant.

It just clicked with me (near-end Logan spoiler) how much the sequence after Logan juices up to go full-Wolverine for one final time is intended to mirror the mansion scene from X2. Down to the money shot being him pouncing on a guy and burying both sets of claws into his chest. He's even doing it to let a group of mutant kids escape into the woods, just like in the second movie. He's even dressed in the jeans and tank-top, same as in that one, and the kids trim his beard and hair into the classic 'do. Edit: Hey, the X-Men comics Laura has in the movies are original art by Dan Panosian, apparently. He posted some of the art from the interiors on Twitter. https://twitter.com/urbanbarbarian/status/837780361824231424/photo/1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Gaz-L fucked around with this message at 02:56 on Mar 5, 2017 |

One thing that absolutely terrified me in the movie was seeing Logan running full bore at the camera. Near the end, it was really unsettling.

Logan was not the best Superhero but it was by far the best X-men movie. A big non-spoilery thing is that the movie just doesn't look like others. But man I am super bummed out. I expected Xavier to die, but not Logan. Not ready for that double whammy. The thing is having Shane being forshadowing was weird because the whole thing about Shane is as he rides off you don't know if he's dead or alive. I guess they were more interested in the speech, but using one of the most famous Western ending ever that is meant to be ambigious is sorta odd. Still, great film, Keen was absolutely amazing, able to convey so much with just body language and facial expressions.

I never read the comics or watched the show that much so Jackman's Wolverine was the thing that hooked me. He was such a unique character to me and the way he played it was so drat cool. This film hits you with that kind of end of an era type thing which does get you if you have nostalgia towards that film. I'd imagine this is why your friends are crying.

Logan is very good, I especially like that there isn't any big mystery. They built The Wolverine out of the protagonist not knowing what's going on which made the reveals at the end kind of a letdown, while this one sets up the stakes in Act 1 and then just lets things play out. There's like, one little reveal at the end but its mostly world-building and not that big of a deal: why new mutants stopped being born. The part that made me say "no, movie characters, you're making bad decisions" is when they met that famliy on the road, those people were 100% obviously gonna die and I knew it. Keeping the continuity ambiguous was also a very smart move. Who knows how this relates to the DofP timeline shenanigans, good thing it doesn't matter.

The only continuity that matters anymore is Apocalypse since Wolverine changed everything at the end of DOFP. And it's not like they cared before either when they've already had 2 Emma Frosts that weren't even in the altered timelines.

Babies crying isn't SO bad. In the Logan screening I saw yesterday, there was a skinhead second row from the front that shouted something incoherent at the screen twice during loud moments in the first couple minutes of the movie. Seemed pretty angry, and it got a lot of people unsettled. He screamed in apoplectic rage during Laura's introduction a little later but I couldn't make out the words. Guy two seats to the left got up and went out, I assumed to grab an employee. A manager came in and talked to him and he settled down for a while, but not too long after dude was on his feet, rocking back and forth, and fiddling with something in his pocket and talking to himself. At that point, we left the theater. Police were already on the way and they cleared the theater then had the guy escorted out, nothing actually bad happened but... well. A skinhead screaming in glee as Mexicans get murdered onscreen is not a reassuring thing to have in your movie theater. They restarted the show a little while later but we missed about 10 minutes and the beginning of Laura's first big fight. Got two free passes each, though. Score? Movie itself was great. Actually maybe cried a little at the last shot. NmareBfly fucked around with this message at 00:47 on Mar 6, 2017 |

My only complaint is so incredibly personal, I just hoped at the end The kids would help Logan get across to Canada and he could die on his home soil. That and I kind of wished that they would have stuck some easter egg at the end, like have a really swole short hairy guy meet the kids., as I said personal stuff.

Honestly, I kind of think it works better with the themes of the movie that he falls just short of making it "home" himself (but in sight of it) in the course of ensuring his daughter and the other children are able to make it.

Oh yea, It's totally within the themes of the film, Just personal preference. I didn't really see any major easter eggs in the movie, there was a tombstone early on that said Rogers, but that could just have been a existing tombstone. Something that isn't really spoilery, but I love how the technology isn't really crazy futuristic, but there is flat panel smart displays and touch screens everywhere. Oh and one question were the soldiers helping the Reavers at the end PMCs or regular military? twistedmentat fucked around with this message at 03:07 on Mar 6, 2017 |
