I am so pumped for this movie. Even more than I was for Deadpool.

That little girl was perfect casting. She has an otherworldly look about her. She's a cute kid, but I actually believe she's a cute kid who could kill me in a heartbeat in those trailers.

The BBC review scores it at 4/5.

In an era of cinematic product homogenisation there’s no doubt that Logan is a risky proposition. But this is reportedly Jackman’s last time donning those claws and chewing on that cigar. Considering it was his Wolverine, as the centrepiece of Bryan Singer’s X-Men (2000), who launched the currently omnipresent superhero phenomenon in the first place, maybe the most appropriate thing would be that, with the brutal, melancholic elegy that is Logan, Wolverine remakes the superhero movie again, this time as a farewell.

Never say never, again?

it's a notable change in the tone of Jackman's comments about the future. It suggests that, should Fox put together the right pitch — and this team-up may well be the right pitch — then he's open to reconsidering his retirement.

The reference is to a possible Deadpool/Wolverine team up. Of course its just vague enough to give hope without any commitment.

93% at RT. I might have to see this in the theaters...

I'd really like to see this movie in the theaters, I just don't know if I can swing it. Wolverine is one of my favorite characters and on the whole I've really enjoyed Hugh Jackman's portrayal of him. And yeah, everything I've seen suggests it's a winner.

I have to wait until I get more info on what kind of nudity and in what context it's involved.
I have taken my 13yo grandson to every superhero movie thats come out lately, except Deadpool.
I knew what kind of movie that was going to be.
If it's just violence, he's well adjusted enough for that. But nudity? Not quite sure...

From the internet:

There is a brief glimpse of female upper-body frontal nudity when a woman pulls down her gown partially to flash her breasts at a male character.

All I'm going to say is that seeing Swamp Thing in the movie theater as a kid really clarified some things for me. I'll make no comments on the violence, but with an "R" rating, I'm guessing it's going to be a bit different than other Marvel movies.

I remember sitting in a movie theater at 12 years old, watching Logan's Run with my mom and dad. She threatened to drag me out of there a couple of times.

Had a thing for Jenny Agutter from that point forward.

Could you imagine a PG movie today with that much nudity? Gotta love the 70's!

Yea...I'm probably being over-cautious. I'm sure he's been exposed to plenty already. But I'm not ready to take him down that path yet.

Then HBO and the VCR let you watch it at home.

Going with friends to an early afternoon show Friday. Very excited to see it. Then dinner, then a hockey game. Hopefully, someone gets body checked at dinner or my day won't be filled with nearly enough violence.

The violence is supposed to be quite brutal. Full dismemberment with an emphasis on suffering. This is not a feelgood superhero movie.

Can you explain why violence is ok but nudity isn't? This is something I know is mainstream opinion, but I have never been able to wrap my head around.

I didn't say that violence was okay, just that with the plethora of video games he plays that have excess amounts of it, I'm sure seeing someone getting whacked wont have quite the same impact as seeing his first naked boob.

Not to get in your face about this, but I would be *very* surprised if a 13-year-old hasn't encountered PG- to R-rated nudity already.

I was going to post something similar, but this sums it up pretty well. Saw it this morning. It was a tour de force. Excellent all the way through.

Great movie through and through - even if it wasn't an 'X-Men' movie it would have been complete all on its own.

Not even remotely what I expected, but great movie.

I cannot imagine any 13 year old should be seeing this movie. But I don't have kids, so have fun.

Should I have seen the previous two Wolverine movies?

Smoove_B · Post by **Smoove_B** » Sat Mar 04, 2017 7:45 pm

Everything I've read suggests it's not necessary, but I honestly can't imagine experiencing the full impact of this movie without knowing his story - particularly from not only his movies but his appearances in the last two X-men films.

Isgrimnur · Post by **Isgrimnur** » Sat Mar 04, 2017 7:51 pm

I'm up to speed on the X-Men films, but have yet to see the stand-alones.

Punisher · Post by **Punisher** » Sat Mar 04, 2017 9:24 pm

There are a few small call backs, but nothing critical I would say..

Wife and I saw it and loved it..

After seeing this, they should make a stand alone movie with Wolverine, Prof X, and Deadpool...where it's about a road trip to go antiquing across the country...

For graphic violence, nudity or both?

Violence. There was a tiny bit of brief nudity. Blink and you'd miss it. But there was a LOT of violence. And not clean or pretty violence.

Im not up on Wolverine. Why is he aging? Was it something about what the Silver Samurai did to him...which I haven't seen.

Thanks. I just heard from my daughter, who was leaving the theatre, and she said it's definitely fine to take him.
Like I said, he well adjusted enough to handle violence in this type of context and enjoy it for what it is....entertainment.

This movie was surprisingly excellent. Hugh Jackman's performance was so well done. The title of the movie is so appropriate - this isn't Wolverine. At least not the Wolverine we all know and love. Logan is not healing as well. He's sick. He struggles to walk. And Jackman plays him not just as the grizzled old Wolverine, but as someone who has been through a long life and is tired and worn down. There is actual nuance and subtlety and emotion.

The young girl's performance is really good too, as is Patrick Stewart's, of course.

The violence in this movie is certainly different from any X-men we've seen before. There isn't much CGI at all, and not really any big, flashy battles. Instead we get lots of brutal and bloody evisceration. I guess I'd say it's gritty, though that word is overused.

Because this isn't a big flashy film with huge set pieces, I would say that it isn't a necessity to go see it in a theater. You won't miss much by seeing it on a smaller screen. However, I would say it is a necessity to see. I'd say it's one of the best superhero movies ever made, but it's not really a superhero movie.

My only real criticism comes in MAJOR spoilers. Do not click if you've not seen the movie.

This was a great movie. One of the best super hero movies to have come out so far. That said, it isn't a movie that I want to watch over and over again. It's a heavy movie. But it's absolutely a great movie.

I didn't feel the violence was overly graphic. Yes, it's brutal. Yes there's a lot of killing. It isn't graphic, though. You see people getting stabbed a lot but there isn't gushing blood, lots of guts hanging out, or gore. There is actually very little blood. If The Walking Dead is a 10 on gore, this movie is a 3. The boobs are barely worth mentioning. There is, essentially, no nudity. There is nothing sexual about them and, actually, there is nothing sexual in the movie. I, personally, think Iron Man 1 with it's torture scenes is worse for kids than this movie. It's rated R but honestly, it's not as nearly an R for what you see as Deadpool. There are some more adult themes than Deadpool but that's it.

This is the Schindler's List of comic book movies. Fantastic movie but not one you'll want to see over and over.

I thought the deaths were a little anti-climactic. I get that's kind of what they were shooting for, especially with Charles, but I don't like that he died in such a feeble way.

Spoiler:

Loved the movie and the ending. Unless they plan to move forward with a X-23 movie then this X-Men Timeline is over. Wonder if they'll add a new Wolverine to the new X-Men team especially if they're going with the Dark Phoenix for the next movie
