cafe67 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) Saw this last night and its pretty good the x-men movies always have seemed to be darker and more gritty than other marvel movies and Logan continues theme. In style and movie, think the proposition, perhaps no country for old men or one of more recent Clint Eastwood movies, it's low key no gratuitous explosion or car chases. OST is likewise minimal Good story for what is a road movie/redemption movie. If you took aWay the x-men and replaced it it with soldiers, Cowboys etc , you would still have a good movie. good acting by HJ in a role I've never sure of him in? PS is very good , the young girl plays her part well. Main baddie is a bit comic , but there is also a more sophisticated baddie. However, it. Is violent , most people die violently , if this is an issue for you then it's needs to be considered. I would put it at least with say Deadpool but without the cartoon ott feel of deadpool. Language is colourful , but say no worse than other movies these days. I enjoyed it 4/5 stars Edited March 16, 2017 by cafe67 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betty boop Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 watched this over last couple of nights, caught it on uhd blu-ray, and very much enjoyed it all the way through... I describe it as Blood father meets Mad Max while i have been hot cold with marvel series and overall not a great fan...this movie is an exception. really well done. comes up a treat on uhd as well. the sound track while not a 3D audio one... does decode pretty well for neural-X which on many an occasion is fully immersive and room enveloping. some very serious sub bass effects as well. some serious kick in quite a few parts 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addicted to music Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Watched it on 1080 bluray on my 53rd birth birthday on Wednesday night. @:) almore like mad max finally get to met the daughter he never thought he had Hugh Jackman as always plays the part well, and that little girl is awesome on some of those moves, the movie takes of slow but gathers pace.

maxspl Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Unlike any other Marvel superhero movie. Grim and depressing showing the realities of ageing with diminishing faculties and no money. In my top 3 favourite movies of the genre...didn't think Marvel had it in them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a Fox movie (not Marvel/Disney movie). In fact Fox was reported to be worried about the movie being boring, obviously they were wrong.

Well that explains it being head and shoulders above any marvel movie then....thought x men were marvel property.

Some years ago Marvel was in trouble so they sold off the movie rights for some of their more popular/profitable characters like X-men, Spiderman and Fantastic Four.

No. No. No. Avoid that origin story like it was the plague Spoilers follow Not to mention the sacrilege they performed on Deadpool in that movie.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betocool Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Agree with @DoggieHowser, Wolverine Origins is the weakest one of the Xmen movies with Xmen - Last Stand and (dare I say it?) Deadpool. But I think I'm heading off to JB Hifi and grab a copy of Logan today. Can't get enough of them X-Men. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kukynas Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 the Wolverine was one of my favorite from the series, can't say the same about Logan, for me too depressing, more like social drama with action/fantasy parts than action/fantasy with bit of a drama in it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custom_made Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 (edited) Logan is one of, if not my favourite adaptation. Bleak dystopian backdrop.. the search for redemption.. the search for Eden/hope. There is a strong western feel to the movie, that fits the story perfectly. Action scenes are used organically and not as a means to an end. And they are brutal and visceral as you would expect from a character who wields a weapon as intimate as 8 inch knives. The violence is so savage there is no room for throw away jokes or other nonsense. In fact, there is an inordinate measure of pain in the story.. only part of it is physically inflicted. Logan is a broken shell of his former self. Everybody he has known has passed, yet death eludes him. His relationship with Charles is... complicated. And the unfolding social drama only adds to already complex characters and themes. Performances, storytelling, choreography, editing, score.. everything is on point. At least a 4.5 out of 5 from me.
