Definitely worth seeing in a theater. As good as Deadpool albeit much different tone. Better than all X-Men movies. 

Only Superhero movie I can think of that is better is The Dark Knight. 

Parental warning: Extreme graphic violence, f bombs, 1 set of naked bewbs.

Would I be able to follow it if I've never seen the Wolverine films?

The f-bombs by professor x seemed a bit forced when he is first seen.

I think the movie kinda addresses the whole children watching the movie in a scene , Logan is cussing up a storm and Charles is like not in front of the child and he breaks it down like there is people getting guts ripped out and heads cut off and you want to worry about some dirty words.  

For sure though probably not for small children.

Very good movie. I'd like to see it again to see if it's better than my first impression.

 

The little girl, Laura, is incredible. When I saw the previews I was a little weary of this little girl being mini-Wolverine, but holy crap, when she started fighting it was like a miniature Wolverine/Bruce Lee Hybrid and I couldn't help but laugh with excitement. Great little actress too; she said so much just by the looks she gave. Hugh Jackman gave an incredible performance as well. I find it hard to believe they'll be six or seven better acting performances this year, and I wouldn't be shocked if he's nominated for an Academy Award.

 

spoilers

 

 

The story was a little frustrating in how formulaic it was:  run from bad guys, bad guys catch up, fight bad guys, run from bad guys, bad guys catch up, fight bad guys etc.

When that family took them in for the night, was there any doubt the family was doomed? I was just counting the minutes until it happened.

X24 was a cool surprise. It was shocking how unceremoniously he offed the Professor. The look Wolverine and X24 exchanged at the bottom of the stair well was epic.

 

Overall I'd give the film a very solid 8/10 on first viewing. I have a feeling I might appreciate it more a second time. It did kind of leave me wanting more though....more fight scenes for Laura (there are 2 iirc), more of the kids using their powers, less predictable plot.

 

All in all, this is how a comic book movie handles "serious". Take notes Zack Snyder. You don't need pouring rain every other shot. You don't have to make your heros insufferable tools to be taken serious. Logan isn't a "good guy", he's broken and very human in a way. I dare you not to get a little misty when Laura turned the cross into an X. Great ending imo. If only every X-men movie were done this well.

      FA may or may not be the best option each time. You know as well as I do that the LT is the highest paid position on offense behind QB and WR. If you have cap concerns, it would be better to draft a quality LT and hold him for 3-4 years before you have to sign him to a long term (and expensive 2nd contract). I wouldn't want to acquire a run stuffing DT in FA if I could get a younger one much cheaper in the draft.  Let's say no good Safties are on the market when prior to drafting. Once again you'd go to the draft. FA is a good way to feel out the roster prior to the draft, but it's possible to REACH there too. FO's usually end up over playing guys (at least at certain positions) who have already peaked. Besides, you always have to consider that the team that let them go didn't think they were worth the price they were asking to retain them. That certainly applies to our defense. We could draft the BPA at any level of our defense and immediately improve our team. A stud on the line beside DB would help the the run and pass defense. Our LB core needs a thumper/impact player at any position. We need another CB to play alongside JC. We have yet to see a Safety on our roster significantly impact a game this year.

      Maybe Rod will change it up and slot Bussi in net. Why risk the inevitable injury to Freddie this early in the season against a team that will likely win regardless.  Just show up and play to win, that's all I ask.

      Well, I feel the same way about pharmaceutical, junk/fast food and political ads. They all cause active and KNOWN harm to the populace but we are the penultimate corrupt Western country, so that's just where we are as a society.
