I think the X-Men franchise just got added to the same list as Transformers for me. They just really can't make a good movie any more in my opinion and I really don't care if I ever see another one. That had to be the mopiest movie I've sat through in a while. It was like I hung out with someones drunk, angry, and depressed 55 year old step dad for 2 hours. Also, hearing Professor X drop F-bombs was like seeing Mother Teresa do tequila shots or something.

I saw yesterday at the el cheapo theater. I kinda liked it, but it is different and kinda depressing. Speaking of Transformers, I saw the latest one on Netflix, and actually didn't think it was terrible, maybe because my expectations were so low.

It is far and away the best X Men movie ever made. I'm sorry you didn't like it but, as they used to say, 50 million Elvis fans can't be wrong, and you are the first person I have seen to not like it.

I'm with the other dude, I thought it was awesome. If you were expecting an xmen movie, I understand why you were disappointed. It wasn't ever meant to be that.

The only X-Men movie I really liked was the first one. The rest were decent. Apocalypse was terrible.

Apocalypse was meh. First class was good. Days of futures past was confusing. Maybe a comic book nerd like HD6 can explain that one. Ellen Page's character who's ability is she can run thru walls, can now suddenly send people to the past to inhibit their own bodies? And only Wolverine can do it? And what about the ending to X3 where Magneto loses his powers and now in Days of Futures Past he is mutant again.

At the end of X3 he was starting to get his powers back. Xmen Apocalypse was terrible. That whole franchise is rather confusing with their movies and reboots and then using characters from the older movies in with the reboot characters.

I watched it the other night also and can't understand the 92% rating by rotten tomatoes. It was depressing as 17 and kinda sucked to me. It has zero rewatchability compared to many other super hero movies I can watch repeatedly. Very disappointed in it.

I quit trusting RT when Spy got 90%+. And yes I realize it's nothing but a review aggregator, but still.

Logan was amazing. I think people get too caught up in the happing ending in all of the X-Men movies. After all of the success Deadpool got with its R rating it was smart to take advantage of that and Logan was always the one character you could see running saying 17 as he lopped people's heads off. I also thought it was an awesome twist to see a different side of professor X.

Did you actually watch the movie?

I have seen a lot of people get far too upset about that movie's cultural commentary who never even saw it.

Logan was the best xmen movie so far. I don't really understand how someone could think it wasn't.

Life...and death is a *****. It's ebb and flow, good and bad, yin and yang, banging Jean and accepting your own mortality. The good guys don't always prevail. Good movie.

Mark me down for the "didn't like Logan" club. I don't mind dark and gory, but it was too much. The story was boring to me as well.

LOL this thread is full of it.

Movie sucked. Comic books have always been written for a certain audience (me), but when they went to "graphic novels" it gives the pseudos something to act high brow over.

The R Rated and the gore was it's only saving grace. The little girl part sucked. All of the mutants gone but no one says how. You just supposed to assume one of his seizures killed everyone? There were zero high points in the movie. It was one big depressing slog until finally wolverine and the movie died. Dear god I was ready to die watching it.

Very good points.
The whole movie felt like anomaly.

See I kind of agree but I also like the human sruggle with Dark Knight, Days of Future Past, and their ilk. The old good vs bad is great but people are flawed why can't superheroes be flawed. That's what makes shows like Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul so good. The "hero" can be flawed. It makes them so more dynamic and it also makes you more invested in them. Logan was built for Rated R, always has been. He says 17 he decapitates people and over time that wears on you. Even if you are a mutant.

You didn't see the part where the scientist talked about their serum that was designed to suppress the mutant gene that they were putting in every day foods actidentslly killed off living mutants too?

The gene supression was only part of it.

The existing mutants were killed off by Xavier during one of his seizures - that was the big incident they referred to throughout the movie, and that seemed to be made pretty clear.

I'm aware of that. But the poster said "you're just supposed to assume one of his seizures killed everyone?" And the answer is no. It was from the seizure and the gene suppression serum.
