I like that there was two Firefly posters on the back wall behind the phone booth. Around 2:03 for the curious.

Days of future past takes place in 2023. This was 2029. Still, I would just chalk it up to the X-men franchise as a whole being mediocre to bad on average.
nerdlogic: Wolverine's original adamantium graft was always in a constant state of rejection by his body and it never got removed and replaced in the movies, so it would make sense that after 50 years it would start to fuck with him. His healing factor didnt make him immortal, just age very, very slowly.

I liked the movie, but it had its flaws.
The r rating made the fight scenes so much better.....
should have left the new mutants out of the movie, everything about them was stupid. How did they escape and get to ND. X23 had wolverine and barley made it, how did these chumps make it? Also they are trained to be hard core killers by the same group as x23. Why are the rest such duds? Never use thier powers until the last seconds, not when they are getting captured....btw why are they even catching these mutants they are supposed to be killing? Why not pop a bullet in each head instead of rounding them up ?
How the fuck did 6 kids in the photograph turn into 50 kids in the forest running....

Finally a wolverine worth to watch. Violent, brutal and gruesome to the max.
Really liked the kid's performance and character.
Did we still have to use spoilers? Anyway...
One minor issue: the 1st time x23 fights, i think it was kinda quick cut-sy and just thought "oh please not this shit please". And thank god it wasn't.
7/10
PS: nice trolling Royal ahah

Professor X's death was so unexpected. Out of nowhere stabbed in the chest. Da fuck? Right in the feels man

without deadpool (the most profitable Super hero movie ever fucking made, btw) the PG13 version of this would of been a shit show, 5-6/10 at best. Dialing up the violence and intensity lets you overlook some of the glaring problems with the movie, including plot holes, dumb kids, and it missing the mark on the dramatic elements.
i'll respect the spoiler tags for another day or so but if you don't have the self control to not click threads and read about movies you haven't yet seen, uh, your bad then:

agree about the kids at the end. Would of been so much better for them to have arrived there and found nothing, or maybe the corpse of 1 kid who also made it but died. And then had logan realize he needed to give a shit and give his daughter hope, and decide to get her across the border himself. No super saiyan magic injection that he mostly wastes on running, but old man logan fighting through the pain and wounds wrecking shit in his final stand, sacrificing to get her across.
but no that would ruin the potential new mutants opener in the 4th X-men timeline starting around 2030, that is somehow gonna combine together into an ensemble film whenever the main x-men cast catch up in their timeline since they just finished the 90s or something

Yeah that was one thing I laughed about.
Movie itself was rock solid, until the final act which jumped the shark a little bit. The villain was also not as well fleshed out as it should have been. And, as pointed out, without Deadpool demonstrating the viability of an R Rated superhero movie, this never gets made. All that said, this is in my top five superhero movies (Dark Knight, Guardians of the Galaxy, Watchmen, Deadpool, Logan) thanks to the acting and serious treatment of the characters. Its like the Wolverine movies went the opposite direction of every other Xmen series and got less cheeseball as they progressed.
And I am a shitty person because I spent the final scene laughing to myself in coming up with racist names for the new mutant kids, like Electiv Boogaloo/Chocolate Thunder for the black kid with zappy powers.... Seriously the blatant new mutant ground laying was the one low point of this flick. Hopefully when they do the New Mutants stuff they focus on X23 and get better actors for the other roles.
The kids basically buried a few billion dollars of adamantium in the dirt on the Canadian border. Even not being able to reshape it, his fucking femur would make an awesome club, to say nothing of swords made from his claws.

this movie wasn't laying the ground for anything to do with the New Mutant movie. they've already cast McAvoy in that, meaning it has nothing to do with this movie.

the adamantium was killing him. he mentions that to the doc at the end of the film. the guy says that his father was the one who put the metal in him, and logan responds, telling him that that's what's been poisoning him. the timeline of logan's aging is goofy, but it's entirely possible that his healing factor has just gotten worn down over time (especially after the adamantium) which resulted in him aging much faster; everything catching up.
also, someone asked it earlier and i don't think they got a response. charles was taking the medicine to stop the seizures caused by ALS or whatever degenerative brain disease he had. without taking his meds he'd risk a seizure and kill everyone around. the side effect of the seizure medication is that it lessened his powers. that's what i took from it, at least. btw that scene at the casino was absolutely brutal in a really disturbing way. brilliantly done.

That is a astute observation of X-Men in general. Whereas new X-Men series is heading towards absolute cheeseball, including Deadpool, Logan/Wolverine Series is throwing out the playbook and putting DC Studio to shame.
As cheesy as Wolverine was (second one. First one was epic cheeseball), it was okay and pretty straightforward.

One of the first things I wondered judging by the trailer. Must take place in the 23rd century or some shit for Logan to have aged visibly. Best not to think about it.

yeah I put all that together but it doesn't seem logical to me to force the most powerful psychic on earth to mute his powers when you're on the run from a gang of mercenaries who want to kill you. i'd take my chances with the seizures.
