LOGAN (2017) MOVIE REACTION - I DIDN'T EXPECT TO GET THIS EMOTIONAL! - First Time Watching - Review

When Logan said "So this is what it feels like" That was very heartbreaking 💔.

[@williambryan3346]

@@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.

[@Gunnar001]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@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.

[@boristurovskiy351]

Dafne Keen's performance is probably the best child actor performance I have seen since Natalie Portman in Leon.

[@deviousraul]

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

[@TheAcademizer]

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.

[@terrylandess6072]

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.

[@SJ-GodofGnomes21]

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.

[@Domnguyen]

i think the was a hidden theory that it was modify food that was killing him and stopping new mutants from evolving

[@tariqshort4025]

Matpat made a great Filmtheory about why he's dying i would recommend it.

[@World-Maker]

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.👍👍

[@JakkFrost1]

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.

[@theodorearagon]

its a mix of the metal and because of all of the dna altering chemicals the bad guys put into food and water. if i remember correctly they said it was put into corn surup, which is put into everything execpt for un processed water and meat from freshly killed animals.

[@tehawesomeface1337]

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.

[@IH8YH]

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

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

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 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

[@matthewchristian9591]

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.

[@kylester0055]

@@fanboy270I'm pretty sure that only disrupted the birth probability of mutants, not the actual powers the mutants had.

[@fanboy270]

@@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.

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 ☺)

[@LIGHTNING132YTG]

**made some edits to the timeline to better suit first-time watchers** 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 when it was released...(present day)...2016 - The New Mutants, from my knowledge, takes place in 2027 - Logan officially ends the timeline in 2029 - The "Super Duper Cut" of Deadpool 2, as with DP1, also takes place when it was released...(present day)...2018, but thanks to Deadpool shenanigans it's best to watch it after Logan. If we were to include the MCU...(which would involve a more extended timeline that I could work on)... - Deadpool & Wolverine would take place after the "Super Duper Cut" of DP2

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

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!

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.

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.

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.

Happy Birthday, Ari! "Logan" is one of the best superhero movies ever made!

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. ❌

[@Shintigercurl]

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.

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.

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.

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)

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.

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.

[@Parallax-3D]

Sabertooth will be in the new Deadpool & Wolverine movie. 😉

[@DarkKnightBatman420]

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.

[@SSD_Penumbra]

Technically, there's THREE x-23s. One is Laura, one is another female clone of Logan and one was later renamed to Lady Deathstrike.

[@surlycanadian]

@@SSD_Penumbradid they recently change something with Lady Deathstrike? Cause she’s a human cyborg with adamantium cybernetic enhancements, not a clone of Wolverine.

[@SSD_Penumbra]

@@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.

[@surlycanadian]

@@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.

The kid who dropped the car on X-24 (Logan clone) is Rictor, his power is earth manipulation, he flipped the car by lifting it with the earth under it. Not related to Magneto or Jean Grey, his genetic father is a guy called Avalanche who could create seismic waves to cause earthquakes.

[@alexhaas9653]

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.

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.

[@miguelbrymn3426]

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.

[@carlosrvra]

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.

[@causerDAguv]

Its a plot hole since you can't grow adamantium

[@nimz8521]

@@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.

[@Parallax-3D]

@@nimz8521You realize that getting impaled doesn’t involve penetrating the bones, right? The only thing that they possibly get wrong is the adamantium bullet penetrating the skull.

[@MaaZeus]

@@Parallax-3D And even if there are bones involved, they are not fused together. Every bone in human body is joined together by joints and ligaments and so on so that they can move (limbs) and stretch (breathing). If wolverine gets impaled from his chest, it does not mean the wood would go through his ribs, the wood would push them aside and rip them out of their sockets where they should rest against the sternum or spine. His bones may be indestructible but he can have dislocated joints and so on. Otherwise he couldn't even move and barely be able to breathe.

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"

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.

[@donnyouttheway4091]

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.

[@mageeaaron2624]

[@jasonondik6003]

This is absolutely the BEST superhero movie. Between Logan and the 2 Deadpool films there is no arguement that superhero movies are just better when they are R rated.

[@reynaldolorenzo8409]

One of the best comic book movies of all time! It was almost a flawless film. If it weren't for the exposition scene with the phone recording, the movie would be a 10/10; that’s the only bad written scene. In that scene, Gabriela, with that shitty phone, was able to record voice through walls, get into places to record classified information that she wouldn't have access to, and record scenes almost in front of Pierce and Dr. Rice, and they didn't even notice. Outside of that scene, the acting, cinematography, score, and writing of the rest of the movie are amazing. It’s a 9/10 for me. And this is the only movie where Wolverine FINALLY has his berserker rage. I loved that scene and Hugh Jackman scream gave me goosebumps when I first watch it. 23:05 Pierce told Logan that he left him where Calaban was going to left him, so Logan assumed he died. 24:53 About this, in X-Men Apocalypse post credit scene is when they showed that they took Logan’s blood. And yes, Charles is insanely powerful, and so is most of the X-Men, most of them are ridiculously OP, but the X-Men movies never did them justice, they only cared about Wolverine, Professor X, and Magneto, but everyone else was done dirty with the exception of Quicksilver which they actually improved, but Cyclops is the leader of the X-Men and in the movies he was trash, Storm is also the leader a lot of times and an omega level mutant, and sure I get that comic book feats are just ridiculous for live action so I get that you have to nerf the characters, but the Fox movies did all of them so dirty because they were REALLY nerf. Even Cyclops that a lot of people that only knows about the movies think he is a joke, and he has gone toe to toe with Wolverine, he is underrated, and he is the Steve Rogers of the X-Men. Back in 2018 I would’ve been exited for the X-Men to get into the MCU, now with how bad and inconsistent the MCU is, I don’t have any expectations. 55:22 No need for R rated, Iceman is an Omega Level mutant, he is ridiculous powerful. Like I said, they did dirty to most of the X-Men. I have some expectations for Deadpool 3 because they gave Ryan full control, so I have some expectation, but I’ve read rumors of a lot of cameos which I hope aren’t true because I don’t want this to be another cameo feast like MoM, I hope the script is good written.

[@franciscoojeda8986]

I just wanted to point out something that had not been spoken about: When Logan says "So, this is what it feels like", I believe he meant both the sensation of dying and feeling like a parent. The film had a family dynamic interwoven in the story (the family with the horses, the nurse with Laura acting as her mother, etc.). Since Logan (along with Caliban) took care of Charles, much like someone caring for an elderly, sickly parent, he responds to Laura when she says "Daddy". I felt he finally knew what it was to be a parent, feeling the love from someone.

[@mageeaaron2624]

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

It was great watching this again with you two. Regarding the adamantium poisoning, it was simply that the metal was in him. It was always poisoning him, but his healing factor has been constantly countering it. Eventually his healing factor was just so exhausted that he began falling apart. Had he still had his natural bone claws, he'd be immortal. But now, we know there is a similar expiration date on Laura as well.

[@midianmtd]

This isn't some dumb "superhero" movie. This film was a piece of art. With a realistic view of if mutants lived among us, how it play out. Patrick Stewart is a tour deforce. Dafne Keen as X-23 was stellar for a young actor. But Hugh Jackman was the GOAT. The pain emotionally he showed us as this character was truly spell binding. [Edit] And Caliban was played by Stephen Merchant. A British comedian and actor who is the co-creator of a little know UK show, "The Office".
