Logan (New Wolverine movie March 3rd 2017)

A billion deaths and they came up with that.

I liked the one soldier who's face got impaled with all the twigs though, that was gruesome although it was slightly blurry because of all the cgi debris flying around.

Yeah that was pretty sweet, It was unexpectedly brutal that's for sure.

A billion deaths and they come up with one we haven't seen before.

They could have at least shown Wolverine walking away from the grass in slow motion. I mean...I can't even pretend.

I just watched and for the most part enjoyed X-men 3. I don't think I can co-operate with the standard view of this film.

Its not a bad movie, but rather a noticeable step down from the superb X2.

Also, when you consider that the film was shot and cut in just five months its hard to give it ****.

I'm ok with the silly cgi grass being kept in as part of his demise, i'm just saying a more gruesome component should've been added.

Don't give me a hard R movie then skimp out on one of the main villains.

Maybe it's a huge offence to certain stories in the comics (?) but as a sequel to the movies X1 and X2 I don't actually have a problem with it. There some good conflicts in there and some great action. And Beast has never been better.

He should've died by getting influenza. The end credits scene could have shown him a few weeks later on his death bed.

There is only 1 superhero movie that I have walked out during a theatrical viewing.

That honor goes to Superman IV although Superman III was close.

I couldn't sit there and watch as Golan Globus urinated on what Donner had given us.

Zack Snyder Superman is a masterpiece compared to what GG did.

I wouldn't say it's that hard of an R but okay.

So, just because it's got R level content, everything has to be executed to the extent of that rating? That's extremely limiting. Logan obviously aspires to be more than that.

I mean, I get what you're saying but I couldn't disagree more in this case. This movie isn't about the gore factor.

I was a pretty big fan of X1 and 2 at the time and followed the "controversy" when Ratner was hired and the drooling anticipation of it's failure. I thought it was way better than it ought to have been, considering. It even has one of my favorite Wolverine gags - when Juggernaut throws him through the ceiling and he comes crashing back down through it.

It absolutely has everything to do about the violence.

Not gore, violence.

Gore is just a byproduct of violence.

The intense violence complimented the intense drama, leap frogging each other with positive results after each jump.

Until that death, the frog missed a leap.

Didn't Hugh even take a pay cut to ensure it was going to be R?

I was a little bit pissed off watching Wolverine get his ass kicked again...but come to think of it if Wolverine does well in a fight then 90% of the time it ought to mean he has killed his opponent. And you can't have him killing Mystique or Juggernaught etc etc So they write the fight sequences such that he can't get a solid hit in.

 

[snoop101]

Wolverine getting his ass kicked is definitely a trend of most of the x-men/wolverine movies.

Yeah, he was paid scale. Stewart too.

It amounts to the same thing within the context of your post - show me R rated level brutality because that's what you're allowed to show so that's what I want.

There was far more drama than violence. It wasn't a "leap frog" at all.

It's the same problem you run into with Superman. It takes creative writing to make them interesting. It's why I find both of them often boring in comics.

-The psychic battle at Jean's house was fantastic. For me still the best action sequence in an X-Men movie so far.

-Kelsey Grammer as Beast is a triumph.

-John Powell's score is superior to Ottman's X2 theme

-Wolverine vs. Phoenix was cool

-Danger Room Session was awesome

X3 is nowhere near as bad as the internet made it out to be ten years ago. Same goes for SM3. They're just films that couldn't live up to their predecessors due to studio problems.
