Logan (New Wolverine movie March 3rd 2017)

[EVILFACE]

Thought it was very good but not great. The performances by the main cast was solid throughout. Loved seeing the gore and violence that Wolverine should be producing. Loved x23. When she finally started talking and then went on her little squeaky spanish rant and then logan told her to shut the **** up. Wolverine Clone was kewl though he should have been more feral looking. Charles was handled well. And I guess he's supposed to have killed off several of his own students? Shoulda put a bullet in his own head. Pretty good send off to a nice character run.

8.5/10

As for comparisons to Fury Road, should be Thunderdome as Max saved the children in that one and was originally supposed to die in the ending vehicle crash.

Nah, all the other films had some great stuff in them.
X2 Nightcrawler intro, X3 bridge scene, sword fights in "Da Wulvarine", Future sequences in DoFP...
But the overall packages were always meh or worse, unfortunately.

Damn it must suck to be a fool

If you don't see X2's greatness you should be banned from life.

Thunderdome also works but this is a really good Thunderdome though lol

Charles was handled well.

Charles was great! The only character I liked.
With the attitude and all he felt like an old fart version of the FC Charles, which is awesome.

Spoiler

Still, his death wasn't handled well. Just lyin' up there while X-24 was killin' everyone only to be carried outside by Logan and die? What a waste. He could at least trigger another mind break and slow the clone, that'd be heroic and bad ass.

Logan made 85 Million killing the US Box Office.

I hate disney because they are killing any new content we might see in all forms of media publishing. Back in 1998 when they realized Mickey Mouse would go to the public domain, they quickly extended their copyrights for it until 2024 meaning they hord their content. For those who don't know the Public Domain means anyone can make copies of any characters since they are public. You won't see anymore expanded universe from SW or anymore usage of the MCU until disney deems it necessary. I am so glad Fox still have their rights and hopefully they change up the CBM genre along with DC years from now.

Personally, I hope MCU does their thing, Disney (SW) their thing, WB gets their act together does their thing and Fox stays the course with their thing. Variety is the spice of life and I love we get varies takes on stuff.

Fox's Logan may be about old age and winding things down, but the film's potent $85.3 million take over the weekend, proves there's life in the old Wolverine yet. While it wasn't the biggest R-rated opening weekend of all time, (Deadpool, who snuck into theaters in a preview/snippet with Logan, still claims that title) everyone involved has to be pleased with the results. James Mangold's dark, bloody film, which includes favorite characters facing senility and deep personal regrets, was a calculated risk. In theory that "R" rating should have nixed a hefty percentage of its perceived audience, yet Logan has proved that the comic book genre can expand its scope, even shift its tone, and still pull in the crowds.



As a user (thanks Old Goats Brand) pointed out on Twitter the 4,071 screens Logan showed on represented the widest release of any R-rated film. The closest thing to that count is 2015's Spy, the Melissa McCarty, Paul Feig-directed film, which debuted on 3,711 screens, a full 360 fewer. That June release made $7,838 per screen for a not-spectacular $29 million three-day take. Logan, on the other hand, hauled in a respectable $20.9K per screen, and now holds the biggest opening weekend of the year so far.



Of that $85.3 million, $10.1 of it came from 381 IMAX screens. That's the 2nd highest-grossing R-Rated IMAX opening domestically (after Deadpool at $16.3 million) and is the best R-rated March IMAX opening. Logan followed suit internationally making $10.6 million on foreign IMAX screens, for the 2nd highest-grossing IMAX global opening ever for a R-rated film (agin, after that pesky Deadpool).



Logan's Friday kicked it off with $33 million yet it didn't dip drastically on Saturday, raking in $31.3 million. If Logan does any better than the $21.3 million that Fox is estimating for Sunday that final tally may have to be revised up. Its opening has already squeaked ahead of the unloved X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which made $85 million its opening weekend in 2009 in 4,099 theaters.



International coin was as impressive with a $152 million haul in 81 markets. Top markets were China ($46.3 million), the UK ($11.4 million), South Korea ($8.2 million), Brazil ($8.17 million), Russia ($7.1 million), France ($6 million), Australia ($5.9 million) and Mexico ($5.3 million). It was Fox's third biggest international opening of all time only trailing X-Men: Days of Future Past ($172 million) and Avatar ($164 million). Logan bumped out Star Wars: Episode III—Revenge of the Sith ($145 million) and Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs ($151 million).

Lately I've started to think the same way.
At least they're competin' and tryin' different things and sometimes get something right.
That's better than everything bein' a kids friendly Disney comedy.

Hugh Jackman's twitter is on fire, so many fans crying and thanking him, celebrities congratulating him.

 

[MegaPrime33]

I thought it was a really great movie, pieced together pretty well, and is by far the best iteration of Wolverine we've ever seen. Shame that it's the last for the moment. I do have my own personal knitpicks of the movie, things I would have preferred, but overall it was quite good.

This has to be his sendoff. No Deadpool sequel.

The only thing I ****ing hate about fox having the rights is that we don't have any good quality xmen merchandise from the movies or anything. It's all ****ing iron man and ******* groot the stupid tree. Give me some top notch nightcrawler and sabertooth and beast figures.

But nope. O well guess we'll just have to live in that world

 

[ironwez20]

Riddick, if you won a 100 million lotto jackpot prize on the same day your son was born I bet you would still find something wrong with that day lol.

Lol the guy has the soul of a 80 yr old man.

 

[RIDDICK]

The world without X-Men toys and dollies...

This really needs to be his final Wolverine movie.

Hell I think he should just retire from acting after this lol.

Wow, it took 17 years to finally get Wolverine bloody, sheesh.

MCU gave us a heroic Cap right out of the gate lol.

Yup....if all giving us the exact same style of film just different characters it'd get old super quick

 

[ironwez20]

Man this movie is just watching your childhood sorta come to a complete close. Wow. Great movie.

 

[Darkseed]

Ha....I've known Jackman as Wolverine longer than two of our kids

Saw the film, it's about as perfect as it could be, 10/10 from me. One question though, the post credits sequence from XMEN:APOC was supposed to be for Logan I thought. Didn't everyone say it was MR. Sinister? So did the post credit scene actually have anything to do with Logan?
