Two Wolverines fighting was like Terminator 2 level action intense.

Nobody deserves any Oscars, but it was pretty damn good.

oh shit....

I loved it.

now tell me please the two of you, how much fucking backstory do i need to comprehend the narrative?

(i mean, i know vaguely who logan/wolverine is and his superpowers and how they came to be. and his shitty temper. not a fucton more but pretty much. i mean i've seen the previous movies but fuck if i can tell you what they were about. some asian chick wraps her legs around his head and he loved the swedish chick who is now some space ghost and rogue and him were buddies at some point and... something. he had memory loss. who cares. am i gonna understand the movie if i go to it cold?)

imdb says streams on amazon too BUT a blockbuster demands giant screens and a cheeseburger

[evollove]

Oh dear. Seems like you might have to watch a real movie not aimed at children.

Hahaha. Just fuckin' around.

Never liked any xman movie, but you guys are sort of convincing me to check out Logan.

It's screening again in black and white for some reason, so you should actually be able to find it... in black and white... for some reason.

It's also out on DVD.

You don't need any backstory really. It would help a bit if you knew some of the characters from the comics (X23, Caliban) but it's really not required. I didn't even see "The Wolverine," the movie that came right before it, in full.. 'cause it was shit. Real shit.

Logan is kind of its own thing. You'll be fine.

As I've said, I've outright HATED every X-Men movie (except First Class, and even that wasn't great)... but Logan is quite different.

Again (and I can't say this enough), it's no Dark Knight. But it's still several levels above the rest of the superhero stuff out there. If the X-Men/Spidey/Fant4stic jerk stores are, like, a 0 on a 0-10 scale, and The Dark Knight is a 10, Logan and Deadpool are both hovering around the 7 mark. Slightly above Captain America: The Winter Soldier and the other Marvel Studios movies that are good.

It's probably a big enough cultural moment that it should be seen by everyone.

You're killing me with this spelling of theater, bro.

[noisereductions]

Logan was great for me. As I've said a few times now. It's basically not even an X-Men movie. It's a road movie drama thing that happens to feature a character that used to be Wolverine. And has a ton of violence.

My absolute favorite top tier comic book movies would be Dark Knight, Watchmen and Deadpool - in no real order there. Those are just "the best" ones to me. But Logan is probably sitting right below that tier.

[demonrail666]

Surprised by all this love for the Watchmen film.

[Rob Instigator]

I thought it was great. nothing's perfect, but it was entertaining AF

[noisereductions]

I loved it. A lot.

[EVOLghost]

I'm with NR. I loved that movie...I was not expecting something so brutal.

[noisereductions]

I watched it very soon after reading the graphic novel so everything was fresh in my head. The movie came out as good as I think anyone could make that graphic novel into a movie.

I'm thinking about watching the full director's cut soon which adds in the Black Freighter and Under The Hood stuff and brings the running time up to like 4 or 4.5 hrs. Though I might have to attack that in chunks. Inversely, there's a stand-alone DVD with those that I could just watch as supplements.
