I have to agree with all the positive comments. Not just a good X-Men movie, or Superhero movie, but a good movie all around. Jackman and Stewart have never been better in anything. The movie is so good it makes all the rest of the X-movies seem better.

Logan was better than 90% of the superhero movies out there. I rank very few superhero movies above Logan. The only ones that come to mind right now, Superman I & II, The Dark Knight, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Deadpool. Perhaps X-Men First Class and Future Past too. But I liked Logan more than the rest of the X-Men movies, which are average in my opinion. I certainly like Logan better than the two Avengers movies (both overrated). The first Iron Man is very good, but Robert Downey can annoy me. Spider-Man 2 is good because of Doc Ock...but Toby Maguire annoys me as well. Batman 89 with Michael Keaton is cool, won't hate on that one. Same applies to Captain America: First Avenger and both sequels, good movies. Man of Steel was disappointing, I wanted to love it so bad, sigh. Batman & Superman sucked arze (except for Wonder Woman).Last edited by Hector; Mar 10, '17, 2:27 PM.sigpicComment

My Knightcast podcast partner Ryan Daly put it best I think when he said Logan wasn't a comic book movie, just like Dark Knight wasn't. DK was a crime movie that happened to have a super hero in it. Logan is a modern day thinking man's western that happens to have mutants and cyborgs in it. The Shane connection is obvious, but I heard Eastwood's Unforgiven was used to pitch it, and I can definitely see that connection.

I think lily can deal with the violence. Torture? Dismemberment? Sex? Sexual? Lily is begging to go. She'll be 13 in less than a month.Comment

Excellent film,went with my son last night.He says best superhero film to date,dead pool 2nd followed by guardians as 3rd.
I think I Will agree with him on this.“When you say “It’s hard”, it actually means “I’m not strong enough to fight for it”. Stop saying its hard. Think positive!”Comment

Like I said, there were WAY too many young kids under 10 at our showing. Andrew is 15 and a half, so I figured he could take it. Plus, I let him go see Deadpool last year, after he was bed-ridden with pneumonia for a month and missed the local Comic Con. That kind of ripped THAT particular Band-Aid right off.
Everyone's mileage varies, and I certainly was watching far too violent and "mature" movies at too young of an age, but I still think this movie is far too intense for any kid that isn't in their teens. That's just me.

I took a couple of days off work at the end of last week and I caught "Logan" at a matinee showing. Great flick! I agree with what most of you have said about it in this thread. Loved the themes and relationships and the story.
I caught it at a theater in the Bricktown area of Oklahoma City. If there were ever to be a Las Vegas-type Hotel and Casino in future Oklahoma City, I was sitting at ground zero. Felt like the Universe might be leaking. Also, the twenty or so people at the weekday, 12:30 pm showing all laughed at Logan's "Okie dickheads" comment. Good stuff!!Comment
