I thought Logan was brilliant. For me it's the best film of the X-Men franchise, so far.

I loved X2 (even if its dated like an early seventies film), but Westerns and I tend not to get along at the best of times, so Logan was good, but not great for me. Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart and Richard E. Grant were brilliant as always and the young actress they got to play Laura has a fantastically emotive set of eyes. You could very easily pry the mutant powers aspect out from the plot and have it be a story exclusively about child soldiers, which makes me wonder whether it really needed to be an X-Men film at all. It's definitely not a piece of escapist media, it's a very nasty reflection of the kind of world we live in now. All the old heroes are dead and there's no guarantee of new ones coming anytime soon, if ever.

I remembered this comment when I went to see it, and for the life of me I don't know why you didn't like the last 20 min. X24 Wolverine clone was just nonsense, using Sabertooth would've been far better in my opinion & given closure to there arc, remember Sabertooth said "nobody kills you but me", no emotional scene between Logan & Xavier when Xavier died, i didn't like scene that showed a young girl using a gun & if Logan must die have him die killing X24 saving his daughter & then dying of his wounds, impaling him was a very poor way for this character to bow out. Then your left with a bunch of new mutant left to defend themselves when if you'd kept Logan alive he could've filled the Xavier role & trained them to be future X-Men passing the baton on. I'm sorry, lots disagree with me & that's ok but i know plenty have agreed with me on other forums about the ending which ruined the film for me & my cousin, this was getting 9/10 up until then. A little glimmer of hope wouldn't have gone a miss, that's my opinion anyway & I'm sticking with it. |

I enjoyed it. It learned a vital thing from Deadpool --not the R rating -- keep the plot simple. That was important.
But now I have a VITAL question. Which timeline is this in?

A little glimmer of hope wouldn't have gone a miss, that's my opinion anyway & I'm sticking with it. All valid points. And while I didn't think of it at the time I don't hate these reasons and kind of like some of them. But here's some (minor) rebuttal: It doesn't bother me that Laura was the one killing X24. It was like she was taking up the challenge from her father. I didn't feel as if the impaling was a disservice to the character in any way. He went out fighting for what was right. Yes, that would have been a really great thing for Logan to do in his later years. However, Logan isn't Xavier, and I don't see his character as the kind who would be content heading off into his old age as a teacher. See above. For me, the kids escaping were a glimmer of hope. Seeing them get away to learn, train and maybe form their own group of X-Men was enough for me. |

I can see him mentoring Laura as she grows up and her essentially taking on the role her father did, but the children found their own way to Eden and had their own leaders. It's likely that one of them would have assumed the Xavier role as appropriate. Still, given her final gesture with the grave marker, it's possible that she'd be the one to suggest the idea. |

I think this is post Days of Future Past ending scene, where he wakes up. A few years after that it all goes to crap and we have Logan. And its possibly X:Men Supernova or something else that creates a third timeline. But thats just me speculating |
