>>90655693I agree with this pretty much. And I actually really enjoyed the movie.
But I'd add that I got annoyed with the movie's insistance on proving it was r-rated. The random tit shot for really no reason, the constant use of "Fuck" in the first half of the movie just felt tacked on. It made moments like him slamming the car in sadness and anger, screaming fuck over and over which is actually pretty realistic, after burying chuck. The first half hour especially just felt like "I'm saying fuck because I have no 1 or 2 limit now." Which isn't inherently bad but it just felt like it was the type of shit a twelve year old would include in a movie.
And while I realize many people may disagree with that and my next point, to me it all comes down to the fundamental disagreements with the character that either Jackman, Mangold or both had.
Wolverine is a man that WOULD NOT have even needed Laura to be his kid to make sure they got beyond wherever the fuck they were going and were in safe hands. Wolverine does that type of shit constatntly. I'm not saying he would have agreed to become their Professor X but would not have let a bunch of kids wander into the fucking woods. He also knows how to fight, not just brawl, and uses more stealth than screaming ARRRGHHHHH and sprinting right at people. And he also wears a yellow suit. It's not self-serving, it's a uniform. I agree it had no place in THIS particular film. But to double down and have hime SHIT on the idea of it while telling laura to forget being a hero is fucking angering to me.
They don't have trunks in the DCEU. But they don't have clark or bruce YELLING at another character in the movie that "trunks are fucking silly."
They made a good, enjoyable movie because they embraced their vision of Logan. A vision that was NOT wolverine. Like I said I really enjoyed it. The fact that Laura will be the first wolvie to wear yellow (maybe) makes me never want to watch it again though.
