LOGAN (2017) MOVIE REACTION - I DIDN'T EXPECT TO GET THIS EMOTIONAL! - First Time Watching - Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 дек 2023
- Welcome to my first-time watching as we react to Logan (2017), an emotional rollercoaster that says goodbye to Hugh Jackman's iconic portrayal of his character Wolverine/Logan. The director James Mangold added some incredible tones in this film I was definitely not expecting.
The performances by Hugh Jackman as Logan/Wolverine, Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier and Dafne Keen as Laura/X-23 were absolutely phenomenal. This story recontextualizes some of these characters and the actors absolutely carried that task!
"Logan" unfolds in a near-future where an aged Wolverine, played by Hugh Jackman, struggles with his own mortality and the burden of a world that no longer cherishes mutants. This movie took me completely by surprise and exceed all of my expectations. There's so many elements that make "Logan" standout but Jackman's powerful performance and the emotional depth this story has is definitely one of my favorite aspects of this phenomenal film.
We hope that you enjoy our reactions, commentary and discussions as we delve into the film's themes, how it impacted the superhero genre, how it's different from the rest by staying away from usual conventions, and the incredible work that Hugh Jackman has put in to make Wolverine his own and have such a lasting legacy.
As a fan of the original X-Men films this felt like an appropriate send off to the character. The trailer didn't do this movie justice at all. I am so glad I watched this. R rated Wolverine is exactly what I needed!
Sit back and relax and join us as I experience Logan for the first time!

When she turned the cross into an X got me man… it’s the perfect symbolism of saying, “Here lies the last X-Man”. 😢😢
Same here. If that moment doesnt get you, nothing can
His healing factor was gone
@@josephmcgee232The Adamantium which made him such powerful also slowly killed him!
@@josephmcgee232it wasn’t gone but it was so slowed down it was effectively gone
When she calls him daddy gets me.
When Logan said "So this is what it feels like" That was very heartbreaking 💔.
Man...don't remind us 😭
Mine was when Laura said, then I'll be fine. Ugh
And the Laura says "Daddy..." 😭
@@OfficialMediaKnights Adamantium is toxic, but because of Logan’s and Laura’s healing abilities, it was never an issue. However, as Logan is likely over two hundred years old, his body no longer heals like it once did and the adamantium was slowly killing him.
@@williambryan3346No. A lot of people seemed to miss in the movie that anti-mutant chemicals were being put into the GMO food that everyone ate. There’s hints of this throughout the movie and even some dialogue from the bad guy scientist about it.
This “cure” additive suppressed the mutant gene and is why mutant births are stopping and why Logan’s regenerative abilities are becoming weaker, leading to his sudden aging and possible adamantium poisoning actually effecting him now.
The everyday food and drinks he consumed were killing him. This could also be part of the reason why Charles Xavier was losing control of his powers as well.
That stick cross getting pivoted to an “X” gets me every time.
There rests Logan, last of the X-Men... 😢
had the x-men theme (Animated series) going through my mind.
Dafne Keen's performance is probably the best child actor performance I have seen since Natalie Portman in Leon.
I thought the same thing while watching the movie and after, never thought i'd see someone with the exact same thought lol
These are my two favorite "kid performances" in movies
Although I love both performances you list, I gotta go with Haley Joel Osment in The Sixth Sense. I'm not trying to take anything away from Dafne Keen or Natalie Portman. I just think that in terms of all time great child actor performances, Osment's turn in The Sixth Sense deserves a mention.
It's one thing to be a supporting actor - much different as a co-star. Most child actors tend to annoy me, but I'll put some blame on the script and director. Freddie Boath (Alex in The Mummy Returns) was another whom entertained and did exactly what the part required.
Abigail Breslin Little Miss Sunshine like wtf are you smoking 😂
Ok... Do I need to mention Dakota Fanning in Man on Fire?
This movie made everyone cry at the end. But at least Logan didn't go down without a fight.
He wanted peace after all these years of survival.
A fighter till the end! 😭
good thing i wasn't there then because i would have just swapped his head with the logan clone's body.
I still cry and I don't think I can count the amount of times I've seen this.
@@thecraftmasqueworth a try! lol
@@JokerInk-CustomBuilds yeah heck he's not getting any more dead
"You're holding your own heart in your hand" Seeing that come to pass put me in tears.
If I remember correctly, when Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman watched this at Cannes, they said they held hands during it and both were in tears at the end. Best performances by these two men who brought these characters to life for us.
😅😅
😅😅
😅😅😅😅
😅
Yukio in 2013's The Wolverine predicted Logan's death. He would be on his back, blood everywhere, holding his heart in his hand. At the time, we thought it was literal. Now we know its metaphorical for Laura. ❤
I forgot all about that.
Wow that's so freaking cool!
@@austinking2959Same director.
NO SHE DIDN'T WOULD Y'ALL QUIT SAYING THAT CORNY CRAP SHE LITERALLY MEANT WHAT SHE SAID. HIS HEART WAS IN HIS HAND, WHY WOULD SHE SAY AFTER THAT IT'S NOT BEATING JESUS CHRIST.
@@richardpage5812I'm sorry that we're more creative than you are and are capable of putting 2 and 2 together.
The healing factor was one of the reasons Logan (James) was picked to have the Adamantium bonded to his skeleton. He was one of the few that could survive both physically and mentally through the trauma of the procedure. His healing factor is constantly dealing with the toxicity build up of the heaviest of metals in his body.
i think the was a hidden theory that it was modify food that was killing him and stopping new mutants from evolving
Matpat made a great Filmtheory about why he's dying i would recommend it.
Too bad is only movie canon and not actual canon
There is one more thing that sometimes we forget about Logan and the healing factor: not only the Adamantium Poisoning him but also giving it a boost by keeping him in permanent healing mode.👍👍
His healing factor actually also had an unintended detrimental effect at the end of the movie. People always say the serum didn't last long, but I just realized that's because it's a foreign contaminant in his body, so the very same healing factor that the serum kicked into high gear also worked to clear the serum from his system, despite it being beneficial.
My family saw ‘Logan’ during our darkest times. My late mother was suffering from dementia when half the family needed a break taking care of her. While half the family covered for us, my father and two brothers saw ‘Logan’ with me. Charles just reminded us of what our mom was going through. This was the hardest film we ever watched. We felt traumatized and injured after. We had to let time pass after we lost mom, before we could see the film again. As hard and heart-wrenching this film was for us, it is a masterpiece.
My condolences
if i remember correctly it was that the adamantium around his skeleton is in fact poisoning him slowly but his healing factor is keeping it at bay, now that his healing factor is getting weaker and slower, the adamantium poison is in fact slowly poisoning him over years
It's kinda sad that the adamantium that made him so unstoppable and iconic is also the reason he is dies. There is some comfort in knowing he was ready for it. He fought for such a long time ❤️
I came to make a similar comment about the Adamantium Poisoning.....
@@OfficialMediaKnights Its the same with Charles, over the years a profesor that took care of kids and rised them to be good...only to later lose control over his power becouse of a stroke affecting his health and killing all his friends and students in one blow.
I took it that the same way that the food tampering that prevented new mutants being born is also affecting wolverine’s healing abilities, since he’s obviously exposed to it as well
It was the terrigen mist that they introduced into the food terrigen is poison for mutants. His healing factor will never slow down but since he unknowingly was poisoning himself it was stopping his mutant powers.
Its also what started the war between mutants and inhumans.
This film absolutely destroyed me when I first saw it. I grew up watching Hugh and Patrick portray Wolverine and Professor X from 2000 onward and this was definitely a devastating end of an era. The ending alone broke my heart with the father/daughter moment. Such an epic masterpiece. Rest in peace, Logan and Charles 💔 (glad they've been coming back for more films though ☺)
Also, for reference, this movie is NOT in the same timeline as X-Men Origins or X2. This is in the timeline of Apocalypse and the re-written past of Days of Future Past.
*POSSILBE SPOILERS*
I think the official timeline goes as follows (not including MCU related films)
- X-Men: First Class takes place in 1962
- X-Men Origins: Wolverine mostly takes place in 1979
- X-Men in 2000
- X2: X-Men United in 2003
- X-Men: The Last Stand in 2006
- The Extended Cut of The Wolverine in 2013
This is where the timeline gets a little re-write (The above films are still canon, but most are not directly in the same timeline)
- The "Rogue Cut" of X-Men: Days of Future Past is set in the future of 2023, with the past getting re-written in 1973
The only films directly connected to the films below are First Class and Days of Future Past
- X-Men Apocalypse takes place in 1983
- X-Men: The Dark Phoenix in 1992
- Deadpool takes place most likely shortly after Apocalypse
- The "Super Duper Cut" of Deadpool 2, likely right before Dark Phoenix based on a cameo scene
- The New Mutants, from my knowledge, takes place in 2027
- Logan officially ends the timeline in 2029
This was so great, thank you for the timeline!! Honestly I've been so attached to Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart as these characters, it made it so much more heartbreaking to see where they ended up. But what a hard-hitting story!! It was truly incredible and such a moving story!
logan should have never had that metal in his body anymore. days of future past changed everything and he never went through all of those experiments.
@Jack_80 This was the ending of that divergent timeline, if it hadn't been corrected.
@@Jack_80 *SPOILERS* At the end of Days of Future Past, Stryker finds Logan's past self. In Apocalypse, the X-Men find Logan at Stryker's lab, so Wolverine still had those experiments done on him.
I really loved the real world implications this movie had, “What happens when the man with a metal skeleton starts to rust?” “What happens when the smartest man in the world starts to lose his mind?”. Heartbreaking film, but an amazing one too
The food supply was tainted by genetically modified corn (syrup).
That's what wiped out the mutants and negated Logan's healing factor
@@fanboy270I'm pretty sure that only disrupted the birth probability of mutants, not the actual powers the mutants had.
@@kylester0055
Rewatch & pay attention.
The comic lore has always been that Logan is effectively immortal.
Short of complete body annihilation he would live basically for a VERY long time, if not forever.
He was absolutely favorite character for a long time from my youth.
I don't care about all this like I used to but it does annoy me when modern twerps try to "reimagine" characters.
Now, the idea that the food is genetically poisoned is a way to get around his healing factor, and cause Prof X's power to go haywire.
Notice early on them showing Logan getting junk food snacks for Caliban, prof, & himself.
The people in the entertainment industry always blend bits of reality in with the fiction.
Our actual food supplies have also been tainted & are having all kinds of ill effects on us.
The girl's performance was as near flawless as could be achieved. You could not have told me the storyline and made me accept it... but the performance SOLD IT.
She should have been the next wolverine
@@zachall101 I think in the comics she actually did become the next one.
@@Kiljaedenas I'm honestly hoping they fix this in the Deadpool and Wolverine movie. Dafne Keen did a great job of this particular character, but much like Hugh Jackman has really only portrayed Wolverine once, the comic character for X-23 would be very cool to see on screen.
Did you see the BTS vid of Dafne Keen's screen test? The girl quite literally did an improvisation of the scene they gave her with a mix of Spanish and English.
Logan was 197 years old when he died... 1832- 2029
Legend never die 😢
Who wants to live forever?
Dafne Keen is a damn revelation in this.
Everyone involved is at the top of their game.
It’s just heartbreakingly brilliant.
I'd love to see the Knights take on His Dark Materials...but probably not enough action for them.
She is great in that... Plus she works with James McAvoy
I saw Logan shortly after I watched my dad die of a heart attack, he passed in my arms. Logan's death and his goodbye to her, helped me process the grief. It was a very powerful movie for me at a dark time, and I am sure most who witnessed loss can relate. :)
My condolences
What I LOVED about the hotel scene was the way that the soldiers were able to actually turn their gaze to Logan just before he butchered them. What a horrifying thought. Being able to see your imminent death and being able to do absolutely nothing about it. Charles has complete control of every single person in his immediate radius, and only Logan and Laura are able to fight it.
From the Wolverine fans to those who made "Logan", with sobbing tears in my eyes, THANK YOU. A thousand times THANK YOU.
"i'm he best at what I do, and what I do isnt very nice" Wolverine
This whole movie is incredibly emotional but man does the scene where Logan buries Charles just shatter me. He's just so broken. All he can mumble out is that this place "has water" as some small way to connect to what he really wanted for him and Charles. Their boat, the Sunseeker, where they could live out their days out on the sea, far away from everyone. No longer persecuted or drugged, finally free and maybe at peace.... but thats gone now... and this is the best he can do... it has water.
It's an absolute crime Hugh wasn't even nominated for an Oscar for this performance.
The scene after Charles dies is incredibly powerful.
Being a fan of Wolverine for a little more than 40 years...this movie never fails to bring the tears.
32:55 Hats off to Sir Patrick Stewart. He is REALLY showing his acting talent in this one.
he always shows his acting talent, he is that good.
You need to check out the behind the scenes interview with Hugh Jackman talking about Daphne Keen's audition for Laura. It was the scene when she was hitting him in the car. That's what sold them on her because she had to go toe to toe in acting with Hugh and Patrick. They were blown away by her. She also did a lot of her own moves because at that age, she was already an accomplished gymnast and martial artist.
I never expected to love a movie that's part western, part superhero, part drama. Wife and I were both tearing up for this one. It was such an emotional rollercoaster.
My favorite movie 🥺 the ending always gets me especially when Laura says to Logan "daddy" that broke me 😭
Hugh Jackman and Sir Patrick Stewart should've received Oscar nominations
The R rating the story the acting the cinematography the score. Man I absolutely love this movie. Wish I could watch it again for the first time
This is one of those movies that really shines in black and white. So crisp and so beautiful.
I have too many thoughts at cross purposes to express how Patrick Stewart's portrayal of dementia affected my own relationship with my father as he succumbed to Alzheimer's. My dad died the winter after this film was released, but watching it allowed me some emotional space to process his decline.
You did good bro You did it good, hope you got better now 🍻
I watched the original 90s X-Men animated series. They did a lot of prophetic dark future timelines they wanted to avoid. It feels weird to be literally living through the years those things occur.
Ending broke me when Laura called Logan, daddy.
Man, this movie hit's right in the feels so hard. The little girl that played Laura did such a great job playing her. I am really glad they chose to make this rated R it allowed them to show and tell so much more about the world and characters.
The kid who flips the truck isn't based on Magneto or Jean actually. His name is Richter, as you can see in the note left for Logan. If you look closely he's not actually lifting the truck with telekinesis or metal control, he's controlling the earth underneath the truck to launch it. He's a geokinetic, he can control the earth. Richter, as in Richter Scale.
Also, the kid with the Electric powers isn't based on Storm, but on Christopher Bradley, Dominic Monahan's character from Wolverine: Origins movie. He could control electricity and electronic devices. You can see his name amongst the list of genetic donors in the clips from the labs.
I think I recall that one of the radios in this movie said all of the X-Men had died at once. I think it was implied that Xavier accidentally killed them all.
Logan also had a moment like that in one comic when Mysterio fooled him into believing he was in a room with all his worst enemies but the enemies he attacked were his allies.
Yup! The Westchester incident 😞
@@OfficialMediaKnights
I just got to the part where y’all heard it in the movie and then saw Charles act out. Someone once said you get to be a kid twice. Once when you’re young and once when you’re old.
Not hard to imagine. He shut down most of Vegas with a seizure.
Imagine if he instead suffered an episode of dementia and forgot who or where he was and actively used his powers against everyone
He’s literally a walking weapon of mass destruction…such a curse for a man that only cared about protecting the mutants
@@jonmcnamara A psychic villain named Onslaught was born of Xavier’s dark thoughts at one point. It became a threat the entirety of marvel comics had to join together for.
LOGAN is a Top 3 all-time superhero movie for me. It feels a lot like a modern western. Excellent reaction. Though if you're ever in the mood for romance, please consider reacting to Before Sunrise (1995), Before Sunset (2004) & Before Midnight (2013) - The Before Trilogy, all directed by Richard Linklater and starring Ethan Hawke & Julie Delpy. Can't recommend them enough.
When he referenced the X-Men comics being so exaggerated, that was like the dime novels of the old west.
It's such a shame that genre movies are so often overlooked come award time. This movie deserves so much.
There is a great clip on RUclips of an audition/rehearsal (not sure which) of the car scene between young Dafne Keen and Hugh Jackman where she starts talking. I mean you expect Hugh to deliver a fantastic performance, however Dafne is a revelation for one so young. She's the daughter of performers, so obviously she's inherited that talent as well as absorbed it from being around productions.
I shit you not, 52 year old Marine, Wolverine fan since I was 12, and I bawl my eyes out every time I watch this MASTERPIECE of a Wolvie Opus.
Until Wolverine dies, Make Mine Marvel.
X-23(Laura) and Wolverine are among my all time favourite comic book characters. In the comics the same program that made Wolverine wanted to clone Wolverine but part of the dna was corrupted so they made a female clone that became Laura/x-23. She was trained to be an assassin from birth.
Happy Birthday, Ari! "Logan" is one of the best superhero movies ever made! It was Oscar-nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay (the first superhero movie to do it ever), but Hugh Jackman and Sir Patrick Stewart definitely deserved Oscar nominations for their performances and Dafne Keen's Laura was equal parts vulnerable and badass.When I first saw it, I swear there were some onion-cutting ninjas in the theater. I'm definitely counting the days until "Deadpool 3," but not as much as Jackman & Ryan Reynolds are.
Some more suggestions: "Van Helsing," " Prisoners," "Watchmen" (the Director's cut),"X2"(which features Lady Deathstrike, whom Denise was referring to), "Krampus," "Violent Night" & "X-Men: First Class," which has a very memorable Wolverine cameo. ❌
Love your reaction guys, let me clarify a little about the poisoning, Logan's healing factor was protecting him from Metal poisoning, which he would be exposed to if this was real life, this is why he was the only candidate that could accept the adamantium bonding process. Now that his healing factor is in such a weakened state, the adamantium poisoning is slowly killing him, it's just a matter of time.
One more thing, in the timeline, Logan is roughly 190 years old. opening of xmen origins wolverine took place around 1850, if I recall.
He also relived everything from 1973 and 50 years so technically he's pushing 300.
Fun fact: @ 1:00:43 when Logan holds Laura's hand, it's what Yukio's vision was in "The Wolverine" when she said he was on his back with his heart in his hand. The "heart" was Laura
This movie had me in tears 😭 at the end. The very first solo theatrically released Logan/Wolverine that was rated a hard R showing audiences the long awaited Berserker rage that the comic book character is known for. The released trailers before the movies release did a great job with saving the surprise reveal of X-24 (which is really amazing when they do the reveal). This is my favourite of all the X Men or Solo Wolverine movies 🍿 James Mangold did a really great job here, which makes it a shame how he ended up with the mess that was Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny 😂
Remember in The Wolverine when Yukio tells Logan she saw his death?
He was covered in, holding his heart(daughter's hand) in his hand.
It is so refreshing to watch a reaction that goes beyond, "That was dope!". You guys always provide a thoughtful analysis and clearly appreciate all of the elements of filmmaking. I am so glad I found your channel. Thanks for all of your hard work. Can't wait to see more!
Logan's mutation is healing. The adamantium is added to them. Sabre tooth can heal, Hulk heals, a ton of characters have accelerated healing. It's one of the most common powers in comics, up there with flight and super strength.
They wanted to have a cameo with Logan's half brother Sabertooth. But actor Liev Schreiber wasn't available due to scheduling conflicts. They never said who the boy Rictor, was talking to on the radio. But fans have speculated that it may have been a member of Alpha Flight, who are the Canadian equivalent of the X-Men in the comics. Even with the GMO foods suppressing new mutants, the original Alpha Flight members would have still been alive in that time.
I was under the impression that whatever happened in THE WOLVERINE in Japan is what diminished his healing factor, when the old Japanese guy tried to drain Logan. But it may also be whatever they're now putting in the water to stop mutant births. That being said, if THE WOLVERINE connection IS true, that's one of two references to that movie in this one... the second one being when he's holding onto his daughter at the very end.
Its a plot hole since you can't grow adamantium
@@causerDAguv Yeah someone had to re-apply the adamantium to his claws (though it does show him running into Magneto who was able to rip it out of his skeleton in the comics. Maybe Magneto did something similar to coat his claws?). They also get adamantium completely wrong in most of these movies. The metal is indestructible so it doesn't spark. It also can't be penetrated by other adamantium, it would simply deflect without damaging either source. In this movie it gets penetrated by steel (the plow thing X-24 gets thrown into), other adamantium (claws and bullet), and finally wood (he gets impaled through adamantium coated ribs), all of which aren't possible if you take the metal as written.
There's a bunch of plot holes but otherwise it's a great movie.
This and The Crow are my favorite "comic" movies by far. They did such a great job casting Dafne Keen as Laura too. It's easy to overlook, but the look on her face when crazed/drugged Logan shows up to help at the end is great visual storytelling, and she nailed it.
Watch her audition footage and you'll see without a doubt she was perfect for the roll.
Such an extraordinary film. I'm just, well... beyond pleased (?) to share this one with you two. To tell this story, this well, standing apart from while existing within a HUGE, wandering, well-known narrative is a wonder. One of my favorite films of the past decade. Thanks! Here we go! :)
Such a fantastic film! I'm amazed they took the risk of giving us something with such a different tone in order to do this story right. Thank you for watching!
they basically ignored days of future past to make this movie. at the end of that movie everything changed and he no longer went through all of those experiments and never had the metal in his body.
since this movie is better than days of future past i guess we can let that slide though. just sucks that he got a happy ending in that one and they undid that to give him this ending.
I've been saying two things ever since this movie came out. One, this movie should have gotten either best picture or best actor on Hugh Jackman. Two, because of her performance in this movie, Dafnee Keen IS the only one to take up the mantle of Wolverine in future movies.
Totally agree on both your points. Hugh Jackman and dafne keen acted their asses off in this. Matter of fact I think this is the best performance I’ve ever seen from a child actor she was phenomenal!
I’m pretty sure the old western Shane was an inspiration for the story of Logan. Glad you guys liked it!
This movie when i saw it literally rip my heart out but i loved every minute of it plus i wanna ask if you two are an item or just roommates coz your chemistry is awesome and wholesome and the way you bounce of each other is so great, sorry if too personal
This is one of those movies where you know you’re gonna end up in tears but man it’s so good! And yes! We are married 😃
@@OfficialMediaKnights good to know lol plus when you talk about the character from the last film and that she see’s Logan’s death I was like OMG I remember that and that it tied together, sooo good!
I used to watch X-Men Evolution, from beginning to end actually. Great show. It created the X-23 character without having her in comics before. She became popular and was incorporated into comics afterwards.
Technically, there's THREE x-23s. One is Laura, one is another female clone of Logan and one was later renamed to Lady Deathstrike.
@@SSD_Penumbradid they recently change something with Lady Deathstrike? Cause she’s a human cyborg with adamantium cybernetic enhancements, not a clone of Wolverine.
@@surlycanadian X2 and some of the older comics once had her as a genetic clone of Wolverine. They've since changed her to what you know of now to differentiate her with Laura and Gabby, who is technically a clone of Laura who is also a clone of Logan.
@@SSD_Penumbra I’ve known her as a human cyborg and the daughter of the man (Dr. Oyama) who invented the adamantium bonding process which led to Wolverine since the 1980’s. And that’s the decade she was created in. She has not “since been changed to differentiate her from Laura”. She’s been a non-mutant human cyborg for 40 years. I recommend you go find some 80’s and 90’s era comics with her appearing and give them a little read.
She was born before her father even knew who Logan was, so she can’t be an already born clone of a person that Dr. Oyama didn’t yet know existed. Perhaps the god-awful Ultimate universe or another non-canon alternate universe they altered her origin, but in the canon comics, not a Wolverine clone. Ever.
X2 doesn’t count as a reliable reference to anything. First of all, you’re going to have to refer me to the part where anyone in that movie says she’s a genetic clone of Wolverine. Second, Fox totally shit the bed with wolverine’s most important arch nemesis’. So even if X2 wrote her as a clone, look at how many characters they completely messed up in that mostly terrible franchise. They Fucked up Sabertooth…..twice. lady Deathstrike, Silver Samurai, The Reavers. Stryker had nothing to do with the adamantium experiment on Wolverine in the first place….. All crap in the movies compared to the comics, so we needn’t ever waste our time being concerned what any of them ever had to say about anything.
So recap: A) Lady Deathstrike has never been a clone of Wolverine in the canon comic continuity, and B) you are either misremembering, or making up, or assuming based on nothing that X2 wrote Lady Deathstrike as a Wolverine Clone.
@@surlycanadian That's a lot of text. Too bad I'm not reading it.
I love the noir-version of this movie, too. It REALLY enhances the cinematography and effective use of light, imho.
@@mrjason8666 Bluray, 4K discs, but some streaming services may have the Logan Noir version, too. Physical media ftw :)
@@mrjason8666yeah, a fully black and white cut was released, and it really enhances the old western/samurai movie feel of Logan.
@@JakkFrost1 You're absolutely right. The B&W version completely changes the tone, actually becoming artistic with each framed shot. As a photographer, it's stunning to see.
The R rating is exactly what i needed from wolverine the whole time. I'm glad they gave us at least one, but damn did it leaving me wishing for more.
At least we have deadpool.
Good news is, X-23 (Logan`s daughter) is coming back in Deadpool 3. She signed a contract right before the strike happened.
in case you didnt know, laura, aka X-23, was created for the very underrated cartoon "x-men: evolution". in it, she was a clone of wolverine created by hydra in an attempt to replicate the weapon program. she is called X-23 because she was the 23rd clone of logan and the only one who was deemed a success. like harley quinn, X-23 was so popular that she made the jump from cartoons to the comics proper.
If you guys haven't already, you should watch Upgrade (2018). Also brutal, futuristic, and it's basically Venom before Venom came out, and if Venom was actually good. Damn good watch. Hope you see this comment!
That sounds promising! I’ve got my issues with Venom…if only they went all in like Logan…adding Upgrade to our list!
@@OfficialMediaKnights Sweet! I promise you won't be disappointed. Also, I don't know if you guys do this, but check out the Red Band trailer too beforehand. I'd love to see your reactions to it as well.
From the moment the adamantine was put in his body his healing factor has been working nonstop ever since.
This movie left me in shambles. I am a comic nerd and over the years, Logan has met several ends, but this... this end destroyed me. The reason that the Adamantium was killing him, was because the mutant solution destroyed his healing factor which kept the poison under control. Hugh Jackman played an absolutely Perfect Wolverine. It was an incredibly and beautifully painful end. The end for Charles shocked and upset me so much that I actually stopped the movie and uttered "no, no, no, no" for about 10 minutes. Lol. But FML that it went there. Such an amazing and awesome film!! Beautiful reaction guys!! Cheers. 🥹🥹🥹
If the movie wasn't heart-breaking enough I also watched Denise & Ari cry which TDL I cant handle. In saying that, its a testament to the brilliant storytelling. You guys are awesome. Happy New year to you and yours ❤
Still remember seeing this movie in theaters and bawling after getting to my car. Such an amazing movie.
Hope you guys watch Iron Giant or Dinosaur in the future.
This is in my top 3 super hero movies of all time. And having this as Huge Jackmans retirement from the Wolverine Roll was perfect. Denise crying got to me , man. That was me on first watch. Happy Birthday Ari! And happy holidays!
Did you watch Xmen Origins Wolverine? In the "Adamantium Injection Scene" there are three people at the controls: William Stryker, Sarah Kinney, & Dale Rice.
William Stryker had a son called Jason. Both of them died in X2.
Dale Rice had a son called Zander. According to the comics Dale Rice died when Logan Beserker raged his way out of Alkalie Lake (accursed place) in Xmen Origins however, he survived long enough to give William Stryker the Adamantium bullets and specialized gun. What became of him after that is unknown. Zander came to take over the research wing Alkali Lake, was unable to duplicate The Wolverine after twenty-two attempts, but then found a way to supress the mutant X gene in the general public. He then found a way to Frankenstein a clone of Logan together X-24. Both Zander and X-24 died in the movie Logan (as you just saw).
Sarah Kinney came up with the idea of cloning Logan but "leaving out" the damaged Y chromosone that was giving them so much trouble and just make an XX clone instead. Her boss (Zander) was jealous of the idea (as it wasn't he who came up with it) and forced Sarah to be X-23's surrogate mother. At a very young age 'they' torture initiated Laura's powers and trained a Rage-Trigger into her via a special scent. In this way Zander makes Laura kill Sarah. This incident is exclusively in the comics, no mention of it is made of in the movies. Laura survives the movie Logan and goes on into Canada (spoiler alert)
Thanks for the reaction and the upload. Hope you had a wonderful christmas. This movie is fantastic. Even though we have to say goodbye to one of our biggest heroes, that was really heartbreaking. But kudos to Dafne Keen as Laura / X-23. She did an amazing job and was only 12 years old at the time. I haven't checked yet how they bring Wolverine back for Deadpool 3 - or if it is even in the same time/timeline. A part of me would love to see Logan return, but then again this movie was the perfect send-off for the character.
I just found out that Deadpool 3 will take place BEFORE Logan
@Kick278 Thank you for checking. So that's clear then. There's no return for Logan after this then. But it was a perfect end, so that's alright.
You guys rock! Love your reactions, thanks a lot
Thank you for showing some love and support! Stay awesome ❤️
"Not my circus, not my clowns." Damn I gotta remember that.
18:14 My woman X-23! She was introduced in the Marvel animated series, "X-Men: Evolution!" She became so popular, Marvel added her to the comics. It was so satisfying seeing X-23 in this movie! 🙏🏽💪
First Happy Birthday bro, second you killed me emotionally! Seeing you guys react to this and feed off each other was bringing back my heartbreak again. It’s been awhile since I saw this. Best reactions by far !!
Even though Dafne Keen is a Movie Royalty baby, she is a natural talent.
Can't wait for her own stand-alone X-23 Movie!
You can rest now man
Everyone is waiting for you in the afterlife
RIP Logan
1832 - 2029 😭
It is _always_ a joy to see you two check out films together as a way to revisit old favourites. It makes periods of isolation a lot less oppressive, so I just wanted ta say thanks.
Great review! It was great to listen 2 people who appreciate Logan and the X-Men Universe.
Seeing this movie again has made me tear up just like when i had first saw it. Seeing Logan in the end temporarily going back to his usual self brought me happiness. It brings back the memories of how he used to be and my favorite childhood superhero going wild and all out. Seeing him die the first time was like a life lesson for me. All good things have to come to an end but we can keep it alive through our memories.
One of the rare times I've shed tears in the theater here in Japan. I suppose I would have shed them anywhere.
Happy birthday Ari! Great choice, B T Dubs. This is still the only superhero film I've ever seen that absolutely CRUSHED me emotionally, but it's full of so many amazing performances and fascinating ideas. It was the best way for Hugh Jackman to end his two-decade stint as Logan/Wolverine.
Happy Birthday!
Same. And impressed. Like Wolverine movies and the cast on hand I expected a lot but wow they delivered it all. And yeah, partway through your analysis but I know there are at least two times I'll be sobbing with you.
This is one of the few movies I am incapable of watching again from beginning to end...
I grew up with the X-Men movies so one time was more than enough for me.
I needed a new reaction channel, love you guys, Happy Holidays….. I’ve been enjoying so much thanks!
22:18 Yeah, that's Lady Deathstrike. In the comics, she's a cyborg with robotic claws. She did this to herself because she wanted revenge on Wolverine. The movies kind retcon her to be a mutant instead. Not sure why, but I'm assuming because they didn't want to confuse the audience
I remember when I watched this it was so heartbroken to learn that Charles was suffering a mental illness and how a power brain like his could be so dangerous.
Also I have never been into gore and this kind of brutality but this movie has a really great story and I never thought I would date to watch a movie reaction for this movie or even watch it again because it broke my heart but I decided to watch it with you again and yeah... I cried again and thankfully I didn't have to watch the gory things thanks to RUclips haha
For denise....some background about Charles.
The Westchester Incident was an event that occurred in 2028 of the revised timeline. After developing a degenerative brain disease, Charles Xavier had a telepathic seizure and lost control of his powers, sending out increasingly strong pulses of psyonic energy causing six hundred people to be injured and the deaths of several members of the X-Men, in addition to the permanent destruction of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. As a result, the U.S. government declared Charles Xavier's brain a "weapon of mass destruction"
Wow you guys. Great video. Watching this with yall was in some ways better than if rewatched by myself.
Amidst the tears. Moments like 18:00 are so funny. Joy of a moment shared with someone experiencing it for the first time
It's really sad to see Prof X and Logan end their lives like that. Their grave only in random forest 💔
My favorite comic book storyline from my youth was the Phoenix Saga, as that story showed me how emotional an actual comic book could be. Sadly, the movie versions of that storyline were epic failures to say the least, as it could never be a rushed effort, or it would never work, and it never did. Logan is the opposite of that, as it worked up to this ending(earning time with the character), and while many of his previous movies didn't meet the bar, the finale most certainly did. BTW Happy Birthday, and a Happy New Year to you both, thanks for the great content.
If you think about it, Logan definitely had no problem with dying. Wolverine is probably the X-Men character who's had to suffer the most. He's been around since the 1800s and has spent his entire life fighting every war and losing everybody he loved. The man literally doesn’t know what a happy life looks like. In the part where Logan ignored the doctor’s warning that he’s dying, he most likely thought "Good, it's finally happening." So for Logan, him dying is probably the best thing that's ever happened to him. He can finally get the peace he's been dreaming of for decades.
Man I still feel extreme sadness from this movie. Seeing my childhood go was too much. I remember not being able to watch it until it came on my fire stick. Waited til the summer of that year to watch it. I had already been dealing with depression being two years removed from teenage life and deep into adult life. Shit is still tough at 28 but shit was way heavy by the time I got to 21. That’s how old I was when this came out too. For me, this movie was a wake up call that I didn’t realize until I turned 28. 3 things I got from this movie were don’t live off pain, it’s you vs you and find your peace. Hopefully a physical peace before spiritual.
Fantastic reaction to a fantastic movie. Honestly one of the best superhero movies ever. Very emotional film. Seeing you guys get teary eyed, also made me well up a little. 😢😊
Watch Hugh as my favorite hero for 25(?) years from 6 to 32 literally growing up with this guy hit so much a harder for his real ending.
One of the best movie intros ever. Dont think anything will ever top the one in Gladiator for me. But this is up there
The greatest X men movie ever made. I loved it! Still cry when i watch it!
This movie brings me to tears even after several watch throughs. Hits hard as a father and anyone who has experienced watching a loved one lose themselves to dementia
This and the dark knight are the only two comic movies that truly surpass their genre and should be recognized as significant films. Really incredible work by everyone involved.
There is one more thing that sometimes we forget about Logan and the healing factor: not only the Adamantium Poisoning him but also giving it a boost by keeping him in permanent healing mode
Your reactions are always fun to watch. Im really enjoying it..
My favorite part is whwn wolverine overdoses on the serum and roars and you see all the soldiers running in fear one of them even saying "Its the Wolverine!"
Loved both of your reactions. This movie is a classic and that ending still beings tears to my eyes when i see it
