Re: LOGAN
This actually looks like it could be the best one of the bunch :up:

Re: LOGAN
This looks like an actual film, with a dramatic story and actual characters...
I've been missing that in "superhero movies". Real movies that has the superhero stuff second or like an element. Like The Dark Knight, Watchmen etc. |
This does look very good.

Not that it is a bad thing, it just seems like a waste of the characters. We already have regular movies. |

Hugh Jackman is a great actor, and it looks like hes gonna try and tap into that for Wolvie going out of the franchise (this will be his last time performing the character). I think, and hope this will be one of the better ones. :) |

We already have regular movies. The Dark Knight, like it or not, is hailed as one of the best superhero movies of all time. Why? Because we have a great story on our hands, with actual characters you care for or at least find interesting... it has a real setting and takes its time with every element. Also, for a "mainstream blockbuster", it barely got any action in it and the climax is based on the psychology of our main characters, hero and villain, and is not action heavy but plot heavy and with focus on the characters and story arc. I enjoy fun comic book movies, but saying "we already have regular movies" is just a laughable statement and even more so saying that this movie looks to be "a waste of the characters" when it seems to be the EXACT opposite: it's ABOUT the characters, actually, and not explosions and CGI... |
Re: LOGAN
I agree to all the different points of view for each individual.
What I want is the comic book experience from a movie. I take nothing away from the Dark Knight movies, but the grounded in reality phrase seems like code for lacking imagination. |

I'm sorry, denim, but you just double-shot yourself in the foot with the two posts you made. You pretty much just talk down to movies and posts without coming with something of weight or reason yourself. I guess we won't get much further than this, clearly... |

Ysee, it broke my heart when they made that last Wolverine film in Japan. That was based off a classic Wolverine limited series by Chris Claremont & Frank Miller which inspired Marvel to give him his own title. The film kinda started out in the same vein, and then halfway thru just became a giant robot bunch of babbling bullcrap. :sick: I havent read "Old Man Logan" but know its regarded as one of the classics. I hope Jackman finally nails it on his way out, he really is a damn good actor. Yeah hes 6'2" but Id rather have a tall actor play Wolvie than a short jock. |
My desired comic book experience and DK are two different things. I don't see a double-shot on that.
My perception/ perspective is that DK is an action movie with comic characters. I don't want to do the back and forth thing. When I say comic, I think day-glo things I would never see in reality. Me. Not everyone else. I don't articulate well, form cohesive thoughts, but I don't disrepect or denigrate grounded comic movies. |

Re: LOGAN
X-Men 1 & 2 were lacking one integral aspect that was always present in the comics... costumes.
Yes, I wanted yellow spandex! ;) (And if not, at least Ororo having an African accent.) |

X-Men 1 & 2 were rock solid, and then everything mutant was awful until First Class and eventually the Days Of Future Past movie. I've got my preferences and all, but I do like it when a film manages to work for me despite not playing to said preferences. Call it the difference between getting what you want and getting what you need. |
Re: LOGAN
The mother scene and Pratt saving Gamora had an emotional weight that none.... Well, Michael Caine did get me with that Alfred "failed you" scene.

Re: LOGAN
I watched this trailer earlier today and shared it with several of my friends. I am beyond pumped for a hopefully R-rated Wolverine film. It looks like a “Last of Us”-type storyline set in a post-apocalyptic X-men universe. Can’t wait!
|
Re: LOGAN
Looks very good. The trailer is awesome.
|
Re: LOGAN
I keep rewatching this trailer, it's so damn good!
|
Re: LOGAN
I can't watch the trailer without several questions popping into my head,
Why does he look old? Why does he have scars? Why does he say "mutants they are gone now"? is that an example of the trailer mashing a line that isn't in the film? Why is Xavier in it? Why is Xavier alive if Logan has gotten old? Where are the rest of the X-Men? Is this another apocalyptic future type deal? didn't DOFP just do that? |

Why does he look old? Wolverine does age... but slowly, very slowly. X-Men Origins showed him and his brother fighting the civil war etc. He is around 200 years old. Why does he have scars? Look above. He is getting older and worn out and his powers begin to fade. Read the comic 'Old Man Logan' for more (this film is slightly based/inspired by that) Why does he say "mutants they are gone now"? is that an example of the trailer mashing a line that isn't in the film? I guess they are all dead, I dunno Why is Xavier in it? why not Why is Xavier alive if Logan has gotten old? well he was born way after Logan. He is old too now so they kind of caught up with each other i guess Where are the rest of the X-Men? dead I guess. Will probably be explained in the movie. Is this another apocalyptic future type deal? didn't DOFP just do that? I'm pretty sure this is the same timeline established by DOFP. But again, why all the mutans are gone/dead (except Xavier appearently) i don't know... |
Re: LOGAN

Sure I know all this but it just seems a rather sudden ageing. Suppose it answers a lot of questions though, if his powers are starting to fade, and fade quickly by the looks of things. Will allow Jackman to play Wolverine again maybe, or could this be his last outing. The above though is slightly contradicted by DOFP which was clearly set into the future with an old Prof Xavier and Logan didn't look nearly as old as he does here. |

Re: LOGAN
Yeah looking forward to it, the Wolverine standalone's have been a little lacking. Would be nice to say goodbye to a great character that has been strong since the beginning of the comic book movie boom with a great film.

New B&W photo released from Logan
https://s15.postimg.org/6btn4t70b/Logan_6.jpg Im really excited for this movie as it looks like its going to a storytelling tone rather than the standard Crash-Boom-Pow formula of superhero movies. |
Re: LOGAN
The same director behind The Wolverine is doing this one as well, James Mangold.
The Wolverine is the strongest of the X movies, so I'm pretty excited about this one tbh. |

http://assets1.ignimgs.com/2016/10/1...9add6_765w.jpg http://cdn1-www.superherohype.com/as...rofxheader.jpg The one thing that has always bothered me about these movies is the LACK of continuity. It all started with First Class and the entire series is messed up. So many questions that I doubt this film will answer. It does look good though. A stand alone flick that will be a perfect send off (hopefully) for Jackman in his iconic role. Fassbender recently stated that he does't know if he'll return for another film because he doesn't know the future of the franchise. They need to let these films rest, no reboot or anything, or at the very least follow a different set of mutants. Deadpool showed that it can work, give some lesser known mutants a shot at the limelight. |

I'm assuming the mutants have been wiped out, which is why they live in an abandoned whatever and not the school. The girl could be the "one to save" the mutants, no idea. I was surprised to see him in this as well. Wolverine aging the way he does, Xavier should pretty well be dead by now. But we'll have to wait and see if they address this in the film. I have no idea what timeframe this film takes place in, all I know is that it's after everything we've already seen. The other X-Men are most likely dead. DOFP did do that, but this looks like an inevitable future, where they could change DOFP. |

I don't know... something just feels off. The trailer is stylish, sure, but why does Wolverine look like Danny Ocean? Also, I question the R-rating. It'll appease those who feel the need to see Wolverine eviscerate someone in fine detail, but that satisfaction only goes so far. Did James Mangold want to make a spiritual sequel to Drive and decided to use Logan to do it?

Re: LOGAN
This excerpt from this end-of-year list about the first 40 minutes definitely has me interested (and at least the movies cited are more intriguing than Drive)...
Logan is a gorgeous-looking movie with overwhelmingly intense action sequences. I actually misted up during one of them. I don’t want to overhype Logan — after all, I’ve only seen forty minutes of it. But I’m still thinking about those forty minutes, its grit and grimness with notes of Mad Max and Unforgiven and Children of Men.

Hugh Jackman Reveals The Official Synopsis of Logan
http://www.quirkybyte.com/wp-content...main_logan.jpg The Australian actor Hugh Jackman is very excited and emotional at the same time about playing Logan/Wolverine in the final standalone movie of the franchise directed by James Mangold. He has given over a decade of his life to this character, and have played it like a boss. He has been revered by both critics and fans for his masterful performances in successive X-Men and independent Wolverine movies. Hugh Jackman recently said “I’m really really proud of this movie. I was really keen that I didn’t leave the party feeling like I could dance more. I think I’m pretty much danced out, and I had a great time. It’s been an unbelievable ride, but it feels right.” http://www.quirkybyte.com/wp-content...17/01/a-11.jpg It’s almost unimaginable to even think of any other actor besides Hugh Jackman to bring Wolverine character to life. In the last installment, we might see “berserker rage” of Wolverine in Logan. It’s a mental state when Wolverine turns absolutely crazy, goes on a rampage, without thinking about the moral consequences of the act. http://www.quirkybyte.com/wp-content...17/01/b-13.jpg It’s confirmed that his character is inspired by “Old Man Logan” story based on a dystopian future where villains finally prevailed after Wolverine was caught in a trap laid down by Mysterio.Previously, the antagonist character had been described as “a relentless, calculating and intense head of Security for a global enterprise who is set against Jackman’s clawed Wolverine/Logan hero”. Well, Boyd Holbrook(of Narcos fame) is a cyborg supervillain Donald Pierce who is running a unit of criminal cyborgs hell-bent on mutant’s blood. http://www.quirkybyte.com/wp-content...017/01/c-6.jpg The official synopsis of the movie Logan is as follows: “In the near future, a weary Logan cares for an ailing Professor X in a hide out on the Mexican border. But Logan’s attempts to hide from the world and his legacy are upended when a young mutant arrives, being pursued by dark forces.” The movie opens on March 3 directed by James Mangold starring Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Richard E. Grant, Boyd Holbrook, Stephan Merchant and DafneKeen. http://www.quirkybyte.com/blog/2017/...ynopsis-logan/ After not having seen a movie in a theater for almost 2 years, I wonder if itll be Scorceses' Silence or Logan that will bring me in. Itll be one of the two. Ill probably see them both back to back, same day. :yup: One more tweet for the road.... https://twitter.com/RealHughJackman/...76465189564419 |
RED BAND https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTCMxNcKe7ARED BAND This trailer cut makes the movie look a lot better than the first one. I still don't know if this ranks as a $10-$12 experience. The Last of Us wasn't groundbreaking in terms of a little girl and her guardian, but this seems inspired by the likes of. |
Re: LOGAN
Directed though by the same guy as The Wolverine?
So there... |
Another good trailer, but
WARNING: spoilers below
I can't buy into Charles saying – what is it – "and I'm ****ing ninety"? It sounds out of character, but it also sounds off, like Patrick Stewart hasn't put enough humour; or, conversely, impatience, behind it. It could also be that the weak voice he's doing is undermining that line working properly.

So there... I feel like I need to give The Wolverine another chance, when I first watched it I was running the X-Men series so that they all kind of blurred together. At least it feels like something I want to watch again, which is more than I can say for the likes of Origins or The Last Stand. |

Checking my notes I rated it at 94% when I reviewed it. The Wolverine is definitely the best of the series imo if you don't count Deadpool. Deadpool is a totally different level but yeah, out of the mainstream X-Men films, The Wolverine is by far and away the strongest. They should have had Mangold direct all of the movies. There's probably only one movie of his I didn't like which was the remake of 3:10 To Yuma. |
My problem with The Wolverine is towards the end. It gets too bloated, messy and typical CG action affair. It looks like studio interference to me... because Mangold created a decent enough kind of drama with good focus on the character of Logan. But it just didn't quite pull it off... so, looking at the R-rated no-xmen-in-title deserted and drama-heavy upcoming Logan, it looks like Mangold got the freedom he wanted. I hope so.

Re: LOGAN
Unless I missed something, all of the press junkets for Logan with RR and HJ seem to point to a Deadpool / Wolverine film happening.
|
Re: LOGAN
Yeah the two of them were hinting at Pierce Brosnan playing Cable as well.

Yeah The Wolverine was ok, but the Deadpool-thingy at the end destroyed the film for me. Im hopeful this will deliver, because everything Ive seen, and not seen (super explosions for the sake of), makes me feel like it can. Jackman said this was gonna be his last Wolvie performance, then Ryan Reynolds Deadpool hit big, and RR has been pushing for the two to star together again. Not impossible, but Id be surprised if Hugh Jackmans already commiting to another Wolverine performance. |

You're thinking of Origins: Wolverine which introduced the lame version of Deadpool that Reynolds then retrofixed. The Wolverine is the one in Japan when Logan loses his powers. |

Re: LOGAN
Really? I found it to be the best of all the main X films.
Tao Okamoto and Rila Fukushima are also mint. |
Re: LOGAN
I think they have a handshake deal or more. There are too many Reynolds and Jackman public displays of affection popping up right now for no good reason.
I would wager a small sum that there is a Deadpool end credit scene on Logan. |
Re: LOGAN
I wish jackman gave up the role after the first spin off farce. He's a good actor as seen recently in Prisoners. But no, money talks. He's taken the check time and time again with these poor movies. I'm predicting this one will be no better then the last which for some reason was celebrated.

Re: LOGAN
If he is going to be in Deadpool, I'd rather him play Hugh Jackman than Wolverine.
|
Re: LOGAN
Iroquois, yes he needs to eat, by the look of him every 3 hours, protein shakes, no carbs after 4pm that sort of stuff. Still, I wonder what roles he turned down in place of wolverine. Now really, unless he has a substantial "older man career", he'll be remembered as Wolverine. Whether thats a good thing or bad is subjective.
|
Re: LOGAN
Will Wolverine ever be short like he's supposed to be?
|
Re: LOGAN
Maybe you're right Iro. This could be FOX trying to fan the smell of Deadpool's success towards Logan.

Re: LOGAN
Looks awesome. Both trailers are great and i look forward to watching this at the cinema.

Re: LOGAN
There is more than one trailer?!! I didn't like the Johnny Cash song in the trailer, it totally fits and it was really cool but I'm just kind of overwhelmed by listening that song so much on the past month, I need to watch the new trailer!
Also quick question, this movie is not a sequel from the previous X-Men movies right? I mean, they changed the future, this is not the future Logan woke up in. This is an alternate dimension right? I think I heard that somewhere, just checking |

I think I heard that somewhere, just checking Yeah this is a sequel, based in the far future. After Days Of Future Past, the timelines were altered so that Jean Grey, Scott Summers and so on are now alive again, and this film is a continuation of that timeline with Professor Xavier being super old and Logan is now succumbing to old age after living for about 150 years. |
Re: LOGAN
Well I be damn, another song I know? this isn't common at all. I love Way Down We Go!! I couldn't stop listening on the Orange is the New Black Season 4 Trailer and I can't stop know either! I mean, I just add this song to my playlist 5 minutes ago!!

I was refering to another dimension besides the 1st and 2nd that Logan was in the previous ones. But nope, it's a sequel. Another thing i was confused was seeing the Professor on somekind of madhouse, I guess I was wrong too (In the end of Days of The Future Past he didn't seem to be in a bad state) I also thought the girl was Logan's child (is she?) or is she the X Weapon that is a girl and has 2 blades on each hand instead of 3 and in the foot too? |
Re: LOGAN
Spoilers:
Laura, the girl, is Laura Kinney... The girl in the film is based on the X-23 clone of Logan from the Weapon X Program that created Wolverine's adamantium skeleton. She's basically a new weapon, but has ended up with Logan as a father figure and Xavier as a sort of grandfather figure. |
Re: LOGAN
How is that a spoiler? The movie isn't out yet :p
|
Re: LOGAN
They've not technically said in full that it's her.
|
Ok... here's the Timelines for X-Men:
Timeline 1:
|
Re: LOGAN
Interesting! Still I don't get why Origins is different, OHH Striker! right, they were with him on 1973. And Deadpool was because of 1983 I think, they vacuum all the bullets Logan received, so they had a lot of his blood to insert immortal cells on Ryan maybe?
|
Re: LOGAN
I understand they get the year with Logan's age but still, why they assume LOGAN is not on a different timeline?
|
Re: LOGAN
Well, if Wade is around in 1981 in Origins, fighting Wolverine and Sabretooth on that big chimney, then he can't be around in 2016 for Deadpool... which means that X-Men Origins: Wolverine couldn't have taken place.
Wolverine still ends up in the program to get his adamantium skeleton, but Origins technically doesn't happen in the way that the movie suggests. The new film Logan is in timeline 2 because of DOFP retconning the timelines in 1973. |
Re: LOGAN
Yep, I was just suggesting something crazy with the LOGAN movie :p. And you are right!! I forgot Wade was in Origins too! Everyone likes to pretend that never happened :p Wait does that mean Wade is at least 50 years old? Also I totally forgot his name Wade! I google it up and I say YEAH HIS NAME IS RYAN and that is the name of the actor :facepalm:
Also here is HISHE's Deadpool leaving the old Deadpool on the villain's pub (ignore Captian America, I don't get what's he doing there): https://575717b777ff8d928c6b-704c46a....jpg?bg=644F4D |
Re: LOGAN
Joker is in that pic too :laugh:
|
Re: LOGAN
Interesting timelines there Rodent.
I wouldn't bother including Deadpool as I believe that to be completely separate. As for X2 still happening, sure, but not the entire thing. Remember Jean Grey "dies" at the end of X2, which releases the Phoenix. If she already has this under control, the ending to X2 would be different. Even without the timeline separation, the continuity is STILL terrible in these movies. They still need to explain, to me, how Wolverine has adamantium in DOFP. |
Re: LOGAN
That was the one of two huge questions for me as well, TUS.
Something from Origins has to take place, after all, Logan ends up being found at the end of DOFP... although, Striker is actually Mystique in disguise, which doesn't make sense. The other big question... how is Xavier still alive at the end of The Wolverine and then in the future sequences in DOFP? He died half way through X3 :rotfl: |
Re: LOGAN
Oh I know that!! It's really weird, I thought the same too. Appereantly there was an after credits on the third X-men movie:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVJDMxkyPbs It seems he is his brother on a coma and when Charles died he wake up on that body, crazy!! |
Re: LOGAN
I forgot about that :D
|
Oh man, the timelines and continuations of the X-Films is as broken and confusing as the comics version now. :facepalm: :lol:
Well Im gonna still see it. It looks to finally be in the tone of what I was waiting for in a Wolvie installment. As a stand alone I hope it is good. Less "Pow" and more Power to the storyline I say. Good signs, no super hero costumes, and Wolvies got a beard. Ask the Boston Red Sox if theres power in a beard. :yup: |

Here's how I would have handled the X-Men movies - start with the original team while introducing some future members (such as... who else? Wolverine). Then in sequels introduce the "New" X-Men and stop before doing any time-travel stories (they mess everything up - they ruined the Lost In Space movie, they ruined the Star Trek "prequels", etc.) If they wanted to do "Days of Future Past" then do it like the comics - a two-issue story that was wrapped up with the (then) current continuity in tact. As a once fan of X-Men (ala the Claremont / Byrne / Austin era)... I'm just venting. :) |

This really may well be one of the best ever. |
Heard nothing but good things about this. Finally they seem to have made a proper Wolverine film. :cool:

Re: LOGAN
I'm hoping the Professor is just a delusion from all those blows to the head Logan has recieved over the years.
If I'm right or wrong don't tell me. |
Re: LOGAN
It is crazy to see how well reviewed this thing is. I may have to breakdown and grudge-watch this.

Re: LOGAN
Logan reportedly to feature post-credits scene. Featuring Deadpool (my 2 cents).

Re: LOGAN
Saw it tonight.
Really good, by far the darkest superhero film I've seen. But not the best. Hugh Jackman gives a great performance, as does Patrick Stewart. Dafnee Kean also very good. There are some surprises and is overall a much sadder grimmer story than usual X Men instalments. Thank you Hugh, and Thank you Wolverine (2000-2017) |
Re: LOGAN
I was not a fan of the previous Wolverine standalone movies, even though the last one was better than Origins. This seems promising, though. Some reviews have been positive, and the fact that it seemingly wants to emulate kind of a western/drama feel looks interesting. I will give it a watch, at least.

Now y'all can go pee without missing anything. :up: |
Re: LOGAN
F' it. I'm staying home.

I really enjoyed this film. Found every other 'Marvel' based film bang average except maybe 'Deadpool' and 'Civil war' which were better.
This is like X men for grown ups. |
Re: LOGAN
Can't remember the last time I was ecxited for an X-Men movie (this year I'm also excited for a Thor movie so there's lots of surprises).
I think I'll have to wait till Sunday or Monday to see this. Time to dodge annoying text messages again! |

Timeline 1:
The reviews of Logan are OTT for me, it was good but there are 4 better X-Men films at least Definitely better than the Wolverine though |
