I feel ya. I too feel Hugh Jackman's Wolverine was my first superhero. I didn't get teary. I BAWLED as the credits went up. It was like a part of me had died. (Throughout the whole film I was like 'Don't hit him, you bastards!' hahaha) And the last film that made me cry as much as that was Les Mis....Jackman effect, I guess. He's so damn good at conveying guilt and remorse and goodness that shines through the darkness. He has become one of my role models, because whenever I see that man and his countenance, I wish I can grow old like that- humaneness seeping from every wrinkle.

and Watchmen.

Dan Nolan SHUT UP! Watchmen is a masterpiece!

Mega MovieZ You really think so?

In the same way that Michael Bay thinks he's making a Coen brothers film with explosions every time he gets behind a camera.

hahaha so true

Have faith, it's terrific.

not saying much. Only X2 is good.

First Class is also pretty good (despite how cheap and badly shot it looks in places). But yeah, none of the X-Men films have been brilliant films exactly. Even X-2 I don't think holds up as the classic many claimed it would be.

Gjakova Shqipni I still like Days of Future Past.

Days of Future Past. wasn't bad. But it was over-plotted and the final twist with Magneto betraying everyone was groan worthy.

Niall Hassett cool

Thanks haha, when I made this, I had just seen it so I was trying to get my words down really fast

I was too energetic at the time but I agree she was absolutely brilliant. Hope we get a film with her

Because this is actually a superhero film that's done right. Yes it's a superhero film. Superhero films don't always have to have explosions.

Yes, westerns went that way in the 90s and 2000s. Our popular films today are quite violent but it's violence with little meaning and no real consequences, I'm thinking of the new Star Wars and Marvel movies, half the time they are fighting ugly looking monsters or guys in helmets with no faces so its therefore fine.....

It's not only the best superhero movie, but it's one of the best films of the year!

Connor Morley It is THE best film of the year!

It's not one of the best superhero films of the year, but the best superhero film of the past two decades.

I wouldn't call it a Superhero movie... It's an Action Drama with Characters that have superpowers in it

Pretty much, yeah.

I quite like apocalypse (which I'm aware is an opinion not many share), it definitely wasn't perfect, but I think it had some great elements, the best of which being Michael Fassbender as Magneto

@@ewancoulbeck yes he is good. But Oscar Isaacs is just terrible as Ivan Ooze

@@nifralo2752 I don't think it was necessarily Oscar Isaac that was bad, but the way the character was written could have been much better

@@ewancoulbeck very true he looks and is writtrn like a power rangers baddie. Plus whos dumb idea was it to have Stan Lee pop up in the dramatic nuclear bomb scene

Note to The Sprawl, watch the Dark Knight trilogy

DC 2019 - Here's Joker!!!

@@goopooable The third film suck, it was dumb tbh.

@@davidwhitney4066 We live in a society, okay

@@davidvillamonte2007 no it wasn’t TDR was not dumb, say what you will about if you liked it or not that’s subjective but it was a well written movie also critically well received objectively

rivolinho then this movie is for you

David O'Sullivan your first few statements are so false it hurts. RT proves it.

You're tired of critics treating comic book movies as lesser but then you contradict yourself by going on about how Logan transcends the genre. Strange.

Exactly, because I don't think of comic book movies as a genre unlike everyone else, a film like Logan proves this by showing that a Wolverine movie can be a Western - not all comic book movies are the same, comic book movies can be any genre the source material requires them to be, that's my point.

Lesser? Haven´t you seen some exaggerated positive average scores in many sites (critics reviews supposedly) for average blockbusters which happen to be cbm like Avengers and the likes? They have got way too much shine if anything. If what you are refering to is that the moest serious or important circuits (like awards season for example) refuse to give them credit for their screenplay or acting pieces then yes, you are right. They treat tem as lessers, which is what they are. Apart from the Nolan films and a few more great things here and there, it is just average entertainment. I like many of them, but come on, they are not better than other generic blockbusters from other genres.

the last fight sequence is the only flaw with the film imo. felt very rushed and seemed like something the studio would've forced on the director for more successful marketing. the ONLY part that kills the momentum if the film for me. then you get to ending tho and its just tears for days. good tears

Connor Brennan thank you! I was browsing through the comments looking for this. Thanks.

Max Nobel It's pretty hard to get an 18 in the UK, though not as hard as the US NC-17. Generally the only 18-rated movies are ones with very strong sexual content, sexual violence, hard drug use etc.

In Germany it got a 16 Rating... Just 10 years earlier this would probably have been banned here... Times are a changing...

Between the beard and desert scenery, definitely. Somehow this was bloodier.

I was thinking more of No Country For Old Men, because of the scenery and the somberness of some scenes. In that case, they might as well have called it "No Country For X-Men" or "No Country For Old Man Logan" lol.

Brava, sir!

Last Of Us...

Last Of Us... Sucks...

Yes, but it's still about a superhero, which makes it a superhero movie. As reductive as that sounds (I appreciate that Logan does very much have influences of other genres, particularly Westerns), at its core it is about people with superhuman powers. I'm not quite sure what I think myself, to be honest, but as much as Logan has been different from other films in the same genre, it still vaguely irritates me that people won't own that superhero movies can be good, if people are given the freedom to do what they want with them. (Also, to be fair, I think there are a few scenes in Logan where violence is used in a gratuitous way, even though it was as visceral and nasty as it ought to have been. IMO it shows that the filmmakers were given leave to use Wolverine's and X-23's claws as often and as messily as they wanted, after a long stretch of not being allowed to do so.)

Did you?

It's best enjoyed when you treat it as a self-contained story. This isn't the MCU.

jo west All genres are tiresome now. I still get blown away by a film every now and again though.

American Pancake if you have any interest in the characters involved, definitely

I am a softy and will for sure- I know I am going to absolutely love this film.

Never say "of this generation" again.

Burntwood76 xmen apocalypse isn't good

Andreas Nordvall calm down its good but it's not terminator 2 good...

I think the three really good villains added up one great villain.

+film79 Why? Is "of this generation" the "of this generation" of this generation?

David Townsend That's my kind of film!

trickykid73 Yup, it's very much a standalone film, and it transcends most super hero films and has far more in common with Christopher Nolan's Batman films. Which just like this you could watch individually and still enjoy them. It's without a doubt not one to miss, this film has no right being this good.

+trickykid73 It enhances the movie a little to know the characters, since it increases the gravity of the situation, also there are some easter eggs and some references. However there is no knowledge of the previous movies required to follow the plot.

You can enjoy it but I think the emotional impact will be significantly lost on you if you haven't seen a single movie featuring the characters before.

Michael Dignum Yep. Terrible. Just doesnt suit them.

It's not a Marvel movie, though, it's a Fox movie with Marvel characters.

Everyone says this film is a remake of a dozen other movies. The whole point of their inclusion was to parallel Logan's story-line, and vice versa. That is how Logan interrogated the superhero genre and set the stage for something better.

thank you for randomly making me laugh out loud whilst scrolling thru the comments.
