You probably shouldn't sign a contract with Wolverine because of his retractable clause.

The Logan trailer with Johnny Cash’s Hurt is by far my favorite movie trailer of all time. I still pull it up on KZbin

[@CptnAwsmBalls]

You seen the Logan style Endgame trailer with the same song, that's a heartbreaker.

[@hugohammond1301]

This film broke me when I first saw it, I never imagined the end of wolverines story would be so touching. Hugh Jackman did justice to that role like no other actor could ever do again.

[@maliktheking25]

After 7 years he is back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@maliktheking25]

Same and EVERYONE WAS CRYING 😢 😭

[@East10Outpost]

Yea I was in second grade when X1 came out and Wolverine was always my favorite. With cinema following a gross trend in my adulthood, he is one of my few unsoiled heros who's legacy wasn't subverted like Indy and Luke.

[@Duaality.]

It's even sadder that Charles called Logan "Brutus", since it's a version of Logan that'll land the final blow to Charles, much like Brutus did to Caesar

[@user-kz3jt8qv5l]

"et tu brute?"

[@gothnate]

One correction: Logan had been poisoned by adamantium for years, but his healing factor completely negated its effects. The tainted corn syrup weakened his healing factor, and allowed the adamantium poison to start killing him.

[@sophiawilson8696]

Yes thanks you! It was metal posion him not serum. The Serum suppress the x genes in next generation that why no Mutants were for last 25 years. The Mutants that were left,were hunt down and ones that left alone that weren't strong enough to bother with. I doubt the serum the posion him but if wanted Mutant babies they wouldn't be Mutants.

[@kara5463]

it is kind of crazy to think that the screenplay for this movie was nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay at the 2018 Oscars. I was shocked watching the nomination ceremony when it was called to be a nominate.

[@darkneon5637]

Definitely the greatest Fox X-Men film and omg I did NOT expect it to make me cry

A top 5 best comic book film for me, absolutely phenomenal.

[@GenusMusic]

My girlfriend was literally crying from the moment Logan was impaled on the tree just from how emotional his death was. It took almost 45 minutes of consoling 😂😢 and er saw it in theaters, our whole audience was in shambles

[@sylviasmiley1721]

I went alone because im a day 1 wolverine fan. I was sobbing so hard leaving the theatre that i had to stop and lean on the wall in the hallway. This poor young kid with a broom came around the corner, took one look at me, and turned around and left the area. Hahhaha

[@G.O.A_godofautism]

For people wondering where they shot the gas station and the scenes of the smelting plant, the were shot at Tohajiilee NM. The gas station is called Laguna Burger. My cousin took photos with Hugh Jackman while shooting there. And my uncle got to go to the smelting plant and watch the filming for those scenes. Also for the scenes in the high school gym, they shot those scenes at Hornets High School in Albuquerque NM.

[@Kinobambino]

That's super cool

[@darkneon5637]

Awesome

[@officerspooder]

what scenes were those?

[@therancorbattalion]

That's awesome, seems a lot of great stuff was filmed near Tohajiilee, Breaking Bad was too

36:37 The golden eye color could also be a callback to X2 when you would know anybody with silver eyes was under the control of striker.

This movie made me cry! It related so much to my life… in a way.

[@ghostofthefallen5100]

It's hard for movies to make me cry but this is one that did it

[@MadameWesker]

You know what, I always cry, always. You just made me realize why. "Don't be what they made you". Yeah, pretty sure I related to that.

Logan uses the same Marvel intro from X-Men The Last Stand.

[@joshnizzle]

Hugh Jackman should’ve won an Oscar for this. When he’s standing by Charles’s grave trying to eulogize gets me every time.

[@radiohostalastor]

It took me 2 years after its release to watch it but I loved this movie. The ending makes me cry every time😢

[@andrew4233th]

I genuinely feel Hugh Jackman was snubbed from an Oscar nomination for this movie

[@devinholmes1156]

Logan for me is top of the top but I honestly truly wish there was a Logan trilogy with this being the finale. I would have liked to see the last 10 years or so of this timeline. So much left for my imagination but I grateful the movie we got. Seriously gold.

[@julianriviera5837]

I love the idea that Wade was the 1 who facilites the plan for mutant kids to get refuge in Canada and since Logan knew Wade was the 1 helping with the comics he wouldn't believe it

[@davepalex]

Been waiting for this one the most

Greenwood cemetery isn’t just a cemetery in Brooklyn in marvel comics, it’s a real cemetery in downtown Brooklyn

[@serenity4eva89]

I'm surprised you didn't point out that what happened to the Munson's mirrored the Hudson's in Origins: Wolverine

[@youngdreflaco]

i remember seeing the trailers for this when i was younger and i was so excited. i eventually got my dad to take me to see it and we both cried and its a core memory we both share. wolverine is his favorite super hero 🤣

[@ryanmonsuland282]

14:24 for anyone wondering, like he said, it is legit nonsense. I read it and it’s actually really interesting because each sentence is just a conglomeration of big words and together they just make no sense but without reading it as in just glancing at it like you’re probably supposed to, it looks like they know what they’re talking about. Just something kinda cool about behind the scenes stuff I guess.

[@danielmacias9725]

Bobby having a Wolverine figure at the end FUCKKED ME UP

[@petermoreno333]

This movie was so badass i remember watching it senior year

[@AtLiveGaming]

When Charles is having his rants, I always pictured it as him tapping into a tv or radio and repeating what he’s hearing as someone else is flicking through

[@terrier_productions]

8:50 as a Brit who is a fan of the Classic Top Gear (2002 - 2015), seeing Richard Hammond standing on a chair is very funny to me.

[@ja9_9]

the final scene of this movie makes me cry every single time

[@RyanHaney55]

I've watched Logan less often than the 2 Deadpool movies that surround it, because it makes me cry. Especially the line "Daddy". 😭 I have been a fan of Wolverine as long as I can remember. I watched X-Men cartoons as a small child and had the action figures, too.

[@joshwhitnall2583]

At the beginning Charles says "They are waiting for you at the statue of Liberty" When Logan visits the motel there is a statue of liberty sign

[@firstspectre3928]

Noting " they are waiting at the statue of liberty" yes call back to older x-men movie but could also reference the motel gabriela and laura are staying at.

[@DuskyPredator]

I was generally surprised that a lot of people didn't catch that it was the corn syrup that was weakening mutants. Such be that it weakened Logan's healing factor, and I think likely caused Xavier's seizure.

[@Guts48]

Literally the best X-Men live action adaptation

[@peterwhitehead6479]

Something that always broke my heart was that it was prophesied that Logan would die with his heart in his hands (I think in The Wolverine???), and Laura was holding his hand as he died. Such a sweet and heartbreaking detail.

[@Roneish1996]

This movie is so damned good just watching part of Logan’s death and your description of it makes me cry.

[@jonnymdizzy7357]

I have to say, this is the first of the rewatches that actually made me feel emotions enough to shed tears in a long time.

[@Saiyan867]

You can see x-24 is the same as sabretooth In X-men Origins: Wolverine 30:00

This movie continues to be, and likely always will be, one of my favorite movies of all time

[@user-fd9zh8jp2v]

I think at least Jean and Colossus are dead for sure. There’s no way Logan and Charles will look so depressed when all these people are at least still alive. I think they are all dead, and only those who don’t really have close connection to the two are alive.

14:55 Mr. Sinister could've been the ultimate superhero movie villain if this universe continued.

Logan is my favorite Marvel film. This film I have rewatched the most. It's crazy because my daughter looks like Dafnee Keen in Logan now. It's just great writing and just taking it to the real world. Using language you wouldn't hear in any other Marvel film except for Deadpool. It should have won an Oscar for best screenplay. This film is just #1 for me.
