The reviews have been very positive.
There's a reason for that.  Do yourself a favor and go watch it this weekend.  Seriously.

In Jackman's defense, Wolverine is VERY VERY VERRRRYYYY OBVIOUSLY a science-fiction werewolf. Except one made invulnerable by blessed silver (in effect) instead of vulnerable to it (but still vulnerable to it). Rages out, super-wolf senses, transformation. He was only called Wolverine as a Canadian touch, which led to him being short, too.

Went and saw it again last night.  There's very few movies I feel compelled to watch more than once in the theater, but Logan is one of them.  Something about this film strongly resonates with me.

If anyone hasn't yet seen this - you absolutely must if it's out. I don't know much of the X-Men world at all (I've seen people talking about Old Man Logan) - but this film - just as a film, a story - is fantastic.

It's my 3rd favourite movie, right behind Deadpool (1) and Guardians of the Galaxy (2).

Saw it tonight - exceptional

From his first scene Logan manages to portray such pain, just walking is suffering and you really feel for the poor guy, a true sense of him having had enough of life - it's heart breaking

Same with Charles - both of them just scream , 'please let it be over'

A very grim tale - and very violent and sweary compared to brightly coloured happy xmen of the past - one parent took his son out

I loved it, doesn't need to be in lore for me, don't care - just a film in its own right

Is this a stand alone movie with no links to the others, or is there a story that links this to other x-man/wolverine movies.

There are links to the previous movies.

Though apparently Jackman caused a shit storm by saying it wasn't in the same universe.

I was also under the impression that 'Old Man Logan' played out in an alternate reality.

I don't think it matters with that series considering how they rebooted it with the time travel.

By now, asking whether an X-Man film is in continuity is almost pointless. They're playing by anime rules: if it kinda suggests continuity, that's close enough, you should be enjoying the aesthetic and high concept ideas (and that they gave you anything new at all, you ingrates, etc.  ::) )

Bob "Moviebob" Chipman made a good video commenting on a number of the thematics in the film. Heavy spoilers obvs.



That wasn't his official review, btw.
