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.
