Logan (film)/YMMV

These things about Logan (film) are subjective - not everyone will agree with all of them.


 * And You Thought It Would Fail: Due to the low budget and R-rating, people thought Logan would flop.
 * Angst Aversion: The film as a whole can be hard to watch due to the dystopian future, dark thematic elements and nearly every character dying.
 * Author's Saving Throw: It was revealed that the film takes place in an alternate reality, thus making it standalone from the more optimistic films.
 * Awesome Music:
 * "Hurt" by Johnny Cash was used in the trailers to showcase the aging Logan.
 * "I Got a Name" by Jim Croce.
 * Marco Beltrami's score is highly memorable.
 * Badass Decay: An in-universe example. Logan is slowly dying from the Adamantium poisoning.
 * Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy: The fact it is bleak and set in a dystopian future is enough to make viewers feel miserable.
 * Even Better Sequel: Generally seen as the best of the Wolverine trilogy.
 * Genius Bonus: "I Got a Name" by Jim Croce was a posthumous song and "When The Man Comes Around" was released by the end of Johnny Cash's life.
 * He Really Can Act:
 * Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart did a great job with their final performances as Logan and Charles, respectively.
 * Stephen Merchant got some praise for playing Caliban in a drama rather than typical comedic roles.
 * With little speech, Dafne Keen did an excellent job playing Laura.
 * It Was His Sled: Wolverine dies. It didn't help that the tagline of Deadpool 2 reads "From the studio that killed Wolverine" and that in the beginning of the film itself has Deadpool mocking Wolverine's death.
 * Memetic Mutation: "What killed the mutants? The corn age!"
 * Narm: Zander Rice's plans would have been taken more seriously if he didn't use GMOs on corn products to sterilize mutants.
 * Nausea Fuel: The graphic violence is not only more realistic than Deadpool, but more sickening.
 * One-Scene Wonder: The human doctor taking care of Logan is the only human that didn't die or is unlikable.
 * Signature Line: “So, this is what it feels like.”
 * Signature Song: "When The Man Comes Around" by Johnny Cash.
 * Spiritual Antithesis: While this and Deadpool are R-rated superhero films, Logan is more of a Western drama and Deadpool is more of a Black Comedy.
 * They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: Some fans thought X-24 was a copy of Sabretooth and they would have liked it better if Sabretooth was in the film instead.
 * Tough Act to Follow: Aside from Deadpool 2, it is considered the last great X-Men film.
 * Unintentionally Unsympathetic: While Charles was trying to give Logan and Laura company with the Munson family, that means that their stalling can lead to the Reavers getting closer to them.
 * Visual Effects of Awesome: Very little CGI was used and it only applied to Donald Pierce's arm and Logan's beard, making them fit in with the cinematography.
 * What Do You Mean It's Not for Kids?: While it has the same rating as the Deadpool films, it's clearly not for the faint of heart due to the bleak themes, strong language and unsettling violence.
