LOGAN REVIEW

[@jirayasama7]

My favorite thing of this film is when Wolverine is introduced in the First X-Men movie it was about helping a girl get to a better place (Rogue) and his end is about helping a girl get to a better place (X23)

[@odiealegodediego]

jirayasama7 shit, I didn't notice that! Awesome.

[@bilguunnyamaa7767]

No shit

[@FlashByKnight]

jirayasama7 I would have never thought about that........

[@lwaves]

I now feel ashamed that I also never noticed that. Also, the first journey went north to south and the final one went south to north, kind of in a loose return journey to type of thing.

[@decenthumans]

That's very true

[@AlexLove631]

Logan: "Don't be what they made you..." *Everyone chokes up and let tears flow* X-23: "Daddy....no....daddy" *Everyone loses it, is an emotional wreck* X-23 makes the cross into an X *Everyone gives it a standing ovation*

[@halloweenfriday]

Alex Love that's EXACTLY what I did!

[@kennethwright5664]

I haven't cried that hard at a movie since Old Yeller.

[@lyconxero457]

This was totally how it went in my theater. I don't think there was a dry eye in the room.

[@OweeReviews]

I was trying fighting off tears until she called him "Daddy". It threw me off and felt forced

[@magneto44]

I agree with "daddy" maybe being to much, but it was still a great moment

[@KingOfMadCows]

Patrick Stewart's performance hits so much harder if you've had a relative in that condition. My grandmother had Alzheimer's and Xavier's behavior reminded me so much of her, every scene with him was gut wrenching. And Hugh Jackman really captures how taking care of someone with dementia can affect the caregiver. You can just feel how emotionally draining and wearying that experience is. Dafne Keen was amazing too. That "daddy" line, holy crap. It's especially poignant when you realize that could be the first time she's said that word since she was raised in a lab and treated like an object all her life.

[@DTM-Books]

KingOfMadCows My family is burying our grandmother tomorrow, who battled Alzheimer's for the last 10 years. I know exactly where you're coming from.

[@desmondhardison4840]

100,% agree

[@businessprojects4215]

I only teared up a little bit when I saw it the first time opening night, but the second time I saw it, the thought came to mind that the professor is pretty much the closet thing Logan has to a father, so when it came to the scene where he's got the shovel....I literally broke down balling...I was thinking" this poor bastard has been through hell, but he's been tough because he's wolverine..but this moment....this broke him" ...F#@$ing beautiful!!!!!..... I've been waiting for a wolverine film like this since I bought that first wolverine comic in a gas station in third grade.....20th Century Fox WELL DONE!!!!!!!

[@Beavernator]

Yep... That he couldn't even give him a eulogy and was struggling to say that he got him as close to water as he could, that broke me... Gave me a flashback to my grandfathers funeral when I was a kid...

[@sethkoehler3939]

You guys did a disservice to Dafne Keen by just giving her the throw away line, "that girl did great". Name her, heap praise on her, she was amazing.

[@JakobyAndrew]

Seth Koehler Laura was literally the best part of the film in my opinion

[@mohitthapa7064]

Seth Koehler the movie was great. she wasn't. the only reason we liked her is because she had very few lines. if she had a bunch of lines, just like every kid actor in movies,she would've been annoying.

[@montybcaldwell]

Seth Koehler she definitely needs her own movie a few years down the road

[@iamthebatman6557]

I think she might be able To play Ellie from the last of us with Hugh Jackman as Joel

[@montybcaldwell]

I am the batman they already make a great team for killing everything when necessary

[@Qwazin]

I definitely find Logan to be better than The Dark Knight. TDK is like a cool, slick cop drama with a very interesting performance from the main villain, but to me it always felt like it lacked an ability to make me invested in the main character. He was just kind of there to pull the story along. In Logan I fucking care about everybody.

[@robertheilmeier2671]

+Andreas Nordvall I couldn´t agree more, especially with the caring part

[@daveycrockettla]

Take Heath Ledger out of TDK and it’s 99.9% trash. Logan is literally LIGHT YEARS AHEAD of TDK .

[@ChieffRocka]

Andreas Nordvall I’m 2 years late but EXACTLY

[@skrillex4x987]

You know what, I'm glad someone feels the same way cause I'm kind of always in the minority. Like saying I loved the new Dark Phoenix when everyone else seems to hate it...

[@eswitz98]

I literally just got back from the theatre from finally seeing Logan for the first time and y'all post this at the same time...cheers!

[@johna3072]

Ethan Switzer had a couple of those , it's fucking destiny mate

[@starkiller34]

They legit say 7 died in Westchester. prof X killed the Xmen. They took it straight from Old man Logan (xcept it isnt wolverine who kills the Xmen but prof Xavier). Its as good as stated.

[@dylanmcla]

exactly, yeah they just didn't want to have to spell it out for people. It's confirmed.

[@dannolan2233]

I was soooo glad they did not flash back to it. I put 2 and 2 together on my own, I don't need to see my favorite characters heads explode Scanner-style.

[@kardez506]

they said 7 mutants

[@dannolan2233]

kardez13 "...including some of the -" ... X-men

[@dezstepz2427]

Thierry Blondin-Rivest yeah. everytime I hear people speculating it makes me 2nd guess that I heard the news reporter say it but now youve mentioned it I know I did hear it right.

[@jackb7494]

Logan had a great story. Something you had a emotional attachment to.

[@savag3mma420]

Jack B especially if you remember the first one and being so excited as a young teen to see it

[@Axelsanx]

I teared up when Prof X died, but bawled as Logan died and Laura whimpered "Daddy". Sat through the credits to recover.

[@215Revan]

Can't believe the only Oscar nod for Logan is best adapted screenplay. Did anyone see this fucking movie? Amazing from start to finish. When he tell professor x that "it wasn't me" ... heartbreaking.

[@carlbradley4872]

FINALLY saw LOGAN last night. Truly astounding. BRILLIANT. Dafne Keen was amazing. Patrick Stewart was absolutely Oscar-worthy. Jackman delivered perfectly and the story was mesmerizing. WOW!

[@EscpdFrmPsykward]

What Deadpool did for comedy in the super hero genre, Logan did for the serious, tear jerking emotion in the super hero genre.

[@pj828]

I saw Logan 3 times in the theater. It's So Amazing it's Staggering!!! They're absolutely right--The Dark Knight and Logan are Thee 2 Greatest superhero movies of ALL Time!! No other superhero movies come close--they truly are in a league of their own. I've never cared more for the characters in a superhero movie than I did at the end of Logan. It's simply... AMAZING!!!

[@misterbaker9728]

When x23 quotes Shane at end and turns that cross to X was amazing!!!!!!

[@contactkeithstack]

Logan may be a better move in the sense that it's more compelling, but when I think of which blew my mind more it was the Dark Knight - not so much because of the journey, but because of certain images that to me became instantly iconic and imprinted on my mind - like Joker riding in the back of the stolen cop car as the sound fades, batman smashing through the roof of Scarecrow's car, the Joker threatening Racheal with the knife, the truck flipping. The soundtrack also I can still hear in my mind. The Dark Knight kind of reminds me of 2001 or ClockWork Orange in that way, these movies plots are great, but they are classics because of those iconic images that stay with you for years and continue to inspire you.

[@thelorddrinian]

I wish Kevin would let Mark finish a few more sentences.

[@lilwiley10]

They did mention that Charles killed the X-Men.

[@BonafideShaunDent]

I place Logan over TDK. Everytime I see TDK I think of Pete Holmes "Badman" and how the Joker played him for a fool and had him beat if not for Lucious Fox's add ons to the suit as well as his desire to not kill him...still a good movie though

[@brocksdaddy081910]

Comments by Shaun That sketch was amazing

[@marcelmoreau2733]

wow mark, you understood the subtext--like 80% of the audience who caught the implication of xavier being responsible for schools destruction.

[@jamesoblivion]

I've heard some people dig at the fact that we got X-24 instead of Sabretooth, but we've seen Sabretooth. Twice. What we never got to see until Logan was what the Weapon X program was trying to create. X-24 is what Stryker wanted Logan to become.

[@MrGeekFreek]

I let out a loud "NOOOO" when that Professor X scene happened.

[@acegames123090]

Honestly such a good movie. Perfect blend of action and emotionally intriguing. Lie to me and say you didn't feel something while watching this

[@MakeAmericaGreatAgain4547]

I've been waiting for Kevin to review Logan and it's finally here.

[@thelittlepasty8360]

It's about fucking time Kevin!

[@tylermane77]

Michael Keaton coming back for The Dark Knight Returns makes so much sense it almost makes me tear up. Batman Begins has been my favorite superhero film since it came out. Logan my very well edge if out.

[@bnferguson9827]

I lost it when Logan calls out to Lauren in such a fatherly voice! I miss my dad and can so relate to that!

[@brucemclee]

To me Logan was like True Grit with Wolverine. So awesome. This and Dark Knight are the 2 superhero movies that transcend the genre.

[@VolatileSupernova]

The original X-Men movie came out in 2000, 18 years ago. If you were 14 when you saw that you are 32 now, the studios should understand that the people who grew up watching these characters (and the comic book fans as well of course) are old enough that an adult story appeals to them. Logan was perfect. I saw it in theaters twice and I've seen it a few times more after that. So good that just rewatching a trailer for it will get me close to tears because I remember the emotion from watching it.

[@GodsLonelyMan76]

LOGAN is the new godfather of superhero movies

[@CujoHyer]

This was a great movie. On a technical level and on a 'wide audience appeal' level. But the X-Men fan in me hated it, because of how god damn sad it was. It was the saddest movie I've seen in a long time. Coimpletely devoid of hope.

[@767scarecrow]

The children at the end represent hope. Mutant kind lives on.

[@dbzbrandon101]

Kevin Smith: "this movie blew.... Me: *shocked* 😓 Kevin Smith: me away!" Me: "I love this man."

[@stn1225]

They did put the part about Charles killing the X-men in the movie, or the hinted at it. It was a news report they were watching. The reporter says, likening what happened in Las Vegas to Connecticut, that however many years ago that attack killed several members of the... and Logan turns it off. Then Charles' speech before the clone kills him is about how he remembers some of it and he understands why Logan hates him not. It was implied so hard that it can be taken as canon.

[@cjg725]

As a fan of Wolverine since 1988 (high school - when I really started reading comics), I loved what Hugh Jackman did as the character and Logan was an amazing send off for his version of Wolverine. As you two have said, they will make more X-Men and Wolverine movies, but his 17 year run was truly wonderful.

[@KiLikesDesigner]

I love the fact that he keeps the samurai blade with him. On his wall in his room. Love the reference.

[@kudabeen]

Hue has the comic movie character personification championship belt. Who are the other contenders? Robert Downey - Iron Man Ryan Reynolds - Deadpool Heath Ledger - Joker Wesley Snipes - Blade Michael Jai White - Spawn Margot Robbie - Harley Quinn Tom Hiddleson - Loki Chris Hemsworth - Thor

[@Asiablu2004]

Patrick Stewart was at the TOP of his game in this film. These people were real ... the story was real ... the entire package here was real, THAT is what made it so badass!!!

[@montybcaldwell]

Logan was an excellent ending to Hugh Jackman playing the character. For me it's probably the most memorable superhero film since The Dark Knight and is definitely a wildcard when compared to other X-men films. Hopefully the studios now understand whether the film is rated R or PG-13 we'll go see it as long as it's a great story.

[@dena81]

Here's my thought on Logan, they could've taken the whole 'superhero' elements with the powers and made it a story of this tough, loner guy, taking care of an old man that was like a father to him but he could never really show it, and discovering he has a daughter...and it would still be an amazing movie. It was just this amazing movie that happened to have Wolverine and X-men powers but the plot just blew it away and I can't wait to see it a second time.

[@thardin42]

Love ya guys. Thanks for keeping me company on a Friday night.

[@vulturetv7865]

watching Logan gave me the same feeling as when I watched Man on fire and it kind of has the same ending

[@REDANDSILVER741]

Little did he know Kevin Smith prediction was correct. At his death of the age of 86 there were 4 wolverines he had seen in his lifetime.

[@JayKarnage1]

My only beef was how professionally edited Gabriela's "concealed" cell phone footage was, dubbed narration and all...maybe iPhones are THAT advanced after the mutant era?

[@dublin7]

Off the top of my head people I could see playing Wolverine are Joe Manganello, Jake Gyllenhaal Aaron Taylor Johnson, Jon, Berrenthal,Tom Hardy, Joel Edgerton, Bradley Cooper, Luke Evans, Charlie Hunnam (Would be near the bottom of the list) and Jon Krasinkski.

[@Durfaroth]

I remember reading somewhere that they purposely didn't say that Xavier killed the X-Men because it would draw attention away from this story and make it more about the X-Men. Makes sense to me and I'm glad that they only hinted to it.

[@StarsDie88]

Dafne Keen, Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman all had borderline nomination performances. Whether they get the nomination or not will probably depend on what their competition ends up being. If this year doesn't provide a ton of great acting performances, I can definitely see 1 or 2 of these guys getting a nod. I hope. Movie was badass and needs recognition.

[@hilzabub]

When they talked about the Westchester incident and how many were killed (in the newscast) I just assumed that was when the X-Men were killed, especially when Xavier said that he remembered.

[@eternalbeing3339]

Just found this channel. Had no idea that kevin smith was this much of a movie fan.

[@scottwelsh2419]

They mentioned it in the movie over the radio when they report on the Las Vegas incident, "similar to the incident in Westchester, where hundreds were injured and over 60 died, including several members of the X...." (Logan turns off the radio)

[@Mortismors]

Hi guy's, I'm OCD with symmetry and numbers. Gotten past touching everything with both hands; now I just count words I hear and break down their syllables and find the symmetry in the syllables. So when I watch action movies for the first time I count the number of action scenes. But in this one I had to count the number of times I cried. Six, six times. The action was what got you to stop crying through the movie. Might be the best movie ever...

[@DestroIABM]

they said on the radio that 8 mutants died in the Westchester incident. Charles killed them

[@fucktardmst3kfan144]

In the beginning, those vatos are trying to steel his rims. Logan was drunk, he couldn't even pop all his claws! Still fucked em up! That beginning sold me.

[@Saiyijon]

Years later and the trailer still makes my eyes water. Phenominal movie.

[@pvthitch]

If Patrick Stewart does't get a Best Supporting Actor Oscar, there is no God.

pvthitch there is no God already.... so now what?

[@daribluestar7752]

pvthitch doesn't

[@PennyAfNorberg]

And then we saw the nominations so no god

[@Bad_Wolf_Media]

The answer about Dougray Scott was neither scheduling NOR a bad screen test. He injured himself on M:I2, and couldn't do it because his arm was in a cast. Hard to do claws in the forearms that way. Also, where WAS a concern about the height of Hugh Jackman, but the original issue was that he was Australian, and the ghost of "Pryde of the X-Men" was still out there.

[@jeremydavis6209]

my only issue and it wasn't a huge thing was I would've preferred a different mutant than wolverine clone. I thought it was a little boring. besides that fucking greatest thing ever bring on the X-23 sequels

[@HashiraTengen]

15:30 - They hint on the radio after they left Vegas that Charles killed the X-Men. It is what charles is talking about before weapon 24 does his thing. The director confirms that is the case. He even filmed it, but took it out as it would have taken away from Logan's story.

[@throughthecowl]

Pass the tissues... this film was pure emotional gold. "Snict" "Snict"

[@mightythor444]

Loved Logan! And I'm so happy you loved it to Kevin!

[@simmonslucas]

This movie also tackled the bullshit trope that you can just drive through a chain link fence. What amazing and plausible action! Loved every minute of this movie.

[@chaosworrier9358]

This is a Sam Peckinpaw movie -- The Getaway, Bring me the head of Alfredo Garcia and the Wild Bunch!

[@cenauge]

They mentioned in one of the newscasts after the Casino hotel scene that the New York incident killed 7 mutants. Xavier may not have killed his school but the implication seemed to be that he did wipe out most of the X-Men.

[@1979draaven]

About Xavier killing those X-Men, it IS in the movie. After Oklahoma incident, In background radio in the car we can hear "similar to Westchester incident year ago, where hundreds were paralized and 7 X-Men died" Xavier killed his children.

[@sattymanks]

I'm the movie they say on the radio "Killing a hundred people and many of the X-" and then it cuts off. Basically saying that Charles killed all the X men .

[@sillyskeleton]

I loved the hell out of Logan. This movie makes the MCU look like the DCU by comparison.

[@hunterseavey1938]

This helps everyone emphasize daddy problems in the end when X-23 says “daddy” when he’s dying in her arms and if you’ve ever had a dad like ever you will cry

17 years, Hugh Jackman hung up his claws. Love ya, man! Nobody will replace ya, bub!

[@ChrisLamia]

Did you just call him BLOB?

[@rmac8878]

I think the best way to reintroduce Logan back to the screen with a new actor would be to make a Secret Wars movie. We already have a majority of established characters, and room to introduce more. I would have James Mangold direct, then have Stephen McFeely , and Mark Bomback do the screenplay, and use Jim Shooter to oversea the fine tuning of details. I think that would be epic

[@dandrelewis2938]

[@TheRedLon]

"that girl" is Dafne Keen, Kev 😉

[@VALENTINEproductions]

Dougray Scott got hurt on MI2 and the movie have to film longer than scheduled which led to him not being able to film on Xmen, so with 3 weeks of already shorting they cast Jackman.

[@MrFNWO1]

They really knocked it out of the park with this one, I would have liked Logan and Charles to get a Vito Corleone moment and have some resemblance of peace just for a short period of time. For me its one of the best superhero movies alongside the dark knight. When Laura turns the cross into an X that made me cry a little, the x-men we all grew up with are dead and we won't ever so those actors play those characters again.

[@lordsxman]

I totally agree that Patrick Stewart DEFINITELY deserves an Oscar nomination for his performance in Logan.

[@nicholashiggins2272]

Xavier was for sure responsible for the deaths of the X-Men. The news clip after his seizure in Las Vegas trails off after mentioning 7 dead mutants at the "Westchester Incident". Also, as he opens up to x-24 who he thinks is Logan he mentions not deserving the perfect day and starts to emotionally breakdown as he begins to say that he remembers what happened and the pain he caused....so dark...so good...

[@paulaburrows8660]

Marc and Kevin can highlight the hope and joy of a movie that is very tragic. With everything happening in the US maybe they should present the News.

[@syndagod5766]

what if: Logan 2, Magneto is the mutant the children go to, they tell him about Logan, then Magneto separates the adamantium from Wolverine causing him to instantly regenerate... Logan is actually a trilogy because Jackman really just said "Logan" is the last time he'll be the Wolverine... or I'm just high.

[@ProtestantsRUs]

DH Jones no thats fucking stupid but I would love a sequel called "Erik" rated R movie with old Magneto

[@AS-yl4bb]

but logan is deceased, a mutant can't use their powers if they're dead

[@syndagod5766]

Jonathan Phillips Not everything is fully dead, cells have yet to die, his healing is on a molecular level. Or I'm just high.

[@AS-yl4bb]

i guess so..... but even if they did go ahead and do that, it would take away from the movies meaning. plus Hugh is tired and doesnt wanna play logan anymore

[@syndagod5766]

Jonathan Phillips The movie was about legacy, the 2nd one would focus on X-23 through flashbacks of her training and assassin work while also tracking the kids fighting to meet up with Magneto then at the end would be the resurrection of Logan. 3rd would be about the legacy of the X-men with Logan become the headmaster of sorts of the new mutant mansion... oooorrr I'm just high.

[@grassygnoll3345]

The alleged death of the X-Men is on a radio broadcast. It mentions an incident in Westchester and the deaths ofa number of people "and 6 mutants" before Logan turns it off.

[@medo145]

I think there is a indirect reference to Jean, when he says that bad things happen to everyone he cares about

[@gavinfoster3659]

You said something about the "Westchester incident." I've now seen the movie twice and there's definitely a subtle nod to the fact that Professor X killed the X-Men. They say something on the radio that's cut off. the dialogue is something like "Several dead including 24 members of the....." then it trails off.

[@rmshadowolf]

[@russbrewer2778]

[@justadude3458]

Will Marc be sharing his thoughts on the remaining episodes of Iron Fist?

[@ellogovna5659]

How far did he get? I stopped watching because I thought he was doing the whole season.

[@phlippbergamot5723]

I don't think anyone made a reference to the old X-men because Logan didn't want to risk sparking a memory in Dr Xavier about how he was responsible for their deaths. They did hint at his being responsible for their deaths just before X24 kills him. He says he remembers what happened at the school. I think Logan was trying his best to protect Xavier from that horrific memory.

[@PanzerSeven]

Logan and Xavier were talking about the incident and Logan cuts him short before he can actually say in words that he killed the other X-men, but he basically says it.

[@TK199999]

At the end, after what Logan did. I heard in my head Colossus speech to Deadpool about what means to hero, those 4 or 5 moments.

[@johnvanderhoef]

I thought it was obviously implied that Xavier killed the X-Men. It was an adaptation of Old Man Logan, except instead of Wolverine being the one, Professor X is the one who accidentally kills the X-Men.

[@MattB-fl1wx]

How do you have so many of the same jerseys with different pictures?

[@justinchan6043]

Good review, but as a fellow comic book geek, when you brought up the inevitable reboot of Wolverine, I'm surprised you don't bring up the possibility that X-23 becomes the new Wolverine. I would love that, as Dafne Keen was awesome in Logan and I would love to see her put on the yellow spandex, as the character does in the comics.

[@michaelcantwell711]

Omg can you believe if they brought Michael Keaton back I would camp out for that...

[@mauropedrosa7317]

That would have me more excited than any of the DC cinematic mess that's going on right now

[@maltamaryfree]

The seizure scene at the casino was awesome!

[@hilzabub]

Michael Keaton in an R-rated Dark Knight Returns? Holy crap! That needs to be made.

[@snacktime2497]

Kevin keeps talking about how he wants an R-rated Batman movie, but he complained about how violent Batman was in BvS. Make up your mind, Kev.

[@EverNumb]

Batman can have a hard R rated movie without him resorting to cannons to mow down badguys. Show him breaking bones and a more gritty street feel with Batman taking down a drug ring ran by one of the villains from his rogues gallery. The complaint was him murdering casually when he mostly tries to avoid doing that.

[@gregs2965]

After the Casino scene on the radio the voice talks about the 'incident.' First he states a number of injured, then he clearly says 7 died. It cuts out right as he's saying the 'X-men.' Though he never gets the actual words out. But 7 dead. Storm, Cyc, Beast, Jean, Iceman, Colossus, Rogue. The X-men...dead :(

[@iluvyummywaffles]

You don't need a new Wolverine. You have X23. End credit scene of Deadpool 2. Cable grabs X23 from future and brings her to the current X-Men timeline; whatever decade they are in now.
