Rate The Last Movie You Saw

Guess my expectations for this movie was just too high.

Doesn't help that people call this the new Dark Knight or the best Marvel movie/superhero movie to date etc etc... Anyways, we'll see with a rewatch some time...

Well, the threats were significantly much bigger, and more dire to the entire world in almost every other X-Men movie, I feel like if any f bombs were warranted it'd definitely be in the other ones.

I really just want you all angry and confused the whole time.

They also were in better shape, had more team members, and better resources.

I'd say yes, especially when you consider the context and maybe contrast it against the use of female nudity in, say, Deadpool. It happens as part of a montage of Logan working his job where he has to drive around some horrible people (such as the frat-boy types chanting "U-S-A" at the immigrants trapped behind the Mexican border) and, in a weird way, it comes across as a dehumanising moment for him. It's not just "some woman flashing her boobs", she's the centre of a bachelorette party so her flashing him comes across as "who cares, he's just the driver, it doesn't matter what I do as long as I'm having fun tonight" and this is borne out by Logan reacting with a sense of discomfort and embarrassment over how these people see him as nothing but a tool and a source of possible amusement. Obviously, it's not 100% necessary, but it's a quick but effective moment that helps to communicate exactly where Logan is at, how he's changed (compared to the guy who wakes up next to a mobster's girlfriend in Days of Future Past), and how he's treated by the ordinary citizens around him in this futuristic hellscape. Plus, it ducks most (if not all) of the issues with female nudity in film - it's not titillating, it's not amusing, it's not even part of some "dark-and-edgy" rape scene. It's a genuinely uncomfortable moment for character and audience alike, and that's why it works.

Don't think I ever heard someone analyze boobs this elaborate.

I strangely feel like Iro needs to do critical, detailed commentaries on porn videos after reading that. I think it's his secret niche.

Anyway...

whole lotta Bergman

I see your point, it makes sense, yet I still can't shake the feeling that since they were given that R rating, they ran with it. To the point where it was noticeable that they were doing it for the sake of doing it. It's a small moment of "what the hell?!?!" in an otherwise, solid flick.
