Spoilers Logan - Grading & Discussion
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
It could be they're just not quite that well known or they happened upon people who didn't recognize them. Just because they're famous and popular doesn't mean everyone in civilization knows exactly what they look like, would recognize them on the spot -particularly out of expected context, and them not being in the public light for several years.
Wow, awesome, awsome movie.
It's a great character movie for Logan, with amazing performances from the whole cast, with the three leads, Hugh Jackman as Logan, Patrick Stewart as Xavier and Dafne Keen as Laura all giving absolutely amazing performances. After this, I think Dafne Keen will have quite a career ahead of her if she continues acting.
It was nice to get a smaller, character driven superhero movie that really took it's time with the characters. Don't get me wrong, I love the big spectacle movies like the MCU movies, and the main X-Men series, but this was a nice change of pace.
I'm not usually one for the gory R-rated violence, but for a story like this and characters like Logan and Laura it felt right.

His name was Xander Rice, and he said his father was one of the weapon x scientists Logan killed when he escaped the program.
Rice said during his final confrontation with Logan in the woods that he and his people released something that wiped out all of the mutants so they could start over with their own breed of mutants they could control.
The fighting was impressive and I was especially impressed when she started speaking spanish and wondered if she was actually a spanish speaker. Turns out she is. I didn't know that going in.
I wonder if she'll keep the part of X-23 going forward.
Like I've said before, this movie works best in context. We had to have those other movies in order to get to this one.
Oh, yeah you do need to know the character to appreciate what this one does with them.
I was wondering if she possibly has some dance or martial arts training, she definitely moved like she does.
I hope so.
No he definitely woke up in "the future", or his present as he was concerned, 2029, just altered. There's even like the kid from the very start of DOFP there at the school.
As to why Wolverine there though has slightly grey hair while yeah Cyclops, Jean, Storm, IceMan, Rogue, Collosus, etc all look the same... that's movie magic ain't it
2023, supposedly ( though the date was not given in the film, that's what you get if it's fifty years after 1973 ).

Which is something that happened in the comic verse but unfortunately isn't, to my recollection, represented on screen in either of the two films which depicted the event ( in two different ways depending on the timeline ).

Saw it this morning and give it an A
Oh yeah sorry, I still had Logan's date in my head.
And yeah the Dr Rice was said as if we should have known who he was.
This is the movie they clearly wanted to make with The Wolverine, which was a good movie up until the final act and it turned into utter garbage. It did the character focused stuff, but still had all the dumb elements that go with superhero movies. The action set pieces in this movie worked because they were not constrained with the rating, no more giant robots or train fights, just straight up stabbing and dismembering people. Great stuff.
Wanted to mention the future tech seen in the movie.
I loved how they didn't go overboard with it.
It was 9 years in the future, yet we didn't see holograms and hover cars everywhere.
The autotrucks and the harvesters were pretty believable actually and I can see things like them on the roads and the fields in a few years.

Yeah, I liked the auto-trucks on the highway, at first I was confused on what was going with these trailers just flying down the highway with no semi pulling them but then it clicked that it's "the future" and that they were automated shipping trucks. Pretty cool. (Not *entirely* sure how that works and, well, they didn't seem too smart on avoiding collisions on the highway. 
Even self-driving cars, or cars with auto-braking, will come to a stop for an obstacle and not try and to maneuver around it.

I'm not sure, I found the fight on the fastest train in the world to be more thrilling and imaginative than "hero fights his evil clone".
Will and Logan theorized that they might have been sabotaged by the guys who were harassing the family.Yeah, I liked the auto-trucks on the highway, at first I was confused on what was going with these trailers just flying down the highway with no semi pulling them but then it clicked that it's "the future" and that they were automated shipping trucks.

Just saw Logan..Hands down the best X-men verse movie! One question that I did have was that the a lot of the movie took place going between the boarders of Texas and Mexico in 2029. But I did not see the Trump's boarder wall.
Oh god. Imagine Mutants existed with Trump in power....
12 years. And I wonder if smartphones and TVs will look like they did in the movie. Media technology has been progressing at an alarming rate over the last decade or so. What will happen in another 12? Or will things level off?
I did jokingly whisper that to the friend I was watching it with.
But I guess even the ultra-break universe of Logan is brighter than what Trump envisions.
