hi kaiielle great reaction as always! thanks alot. by far the best xmen movie ever made. ryan reinalds (deadpool) said once that logan: its one of the greatest or the greatest comic-book adaptations ever made. and i agree with him completely, this moiveis epic af. you gonna see deadpool and wolverine as well right? its a must watch cus its as epic as logan. actually this is more epic.
🍴❌🧑🏼🦼 This is one of my top 3 favorite films of all time. It's tragic, but gives Hugh a true hero's end to 17 years of playing the consistent character of the X-Men saga. It broke my heart, and I still weep every time I watch it. Daphne loved this role, and had so much fun on set, and she & Hugh have a lifelong relationship now. Thanks so much for sharing this with us!
Sir Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman shed tears together at the premiere of the film. They were so proud of their journey together, both as performers and for their characters.
The Westchester incident is when Charles first had a seizure, and he ended up killing most of the x-men. Also the reason mutants have gone extinct is because transagen has engineered food to weaken and kill mutants. That along with the adamantium poisoning is why logan is having issues healing.
While Transigen's virus doesn't kill mutants, it definitely weakens them. As it directly attacks the X-Gene, which (as you've said) prevents future mutants from being born, it also weakens their natural abilities. This is why the Adamantium poisoning Logan suffers from is much more severe than it logically should be. His regenerative healing factor should still heal him, just a bit slower than usual to keep up with the poison. But the virus attacking the X-Gene weakens it even further. This is also the reason why Logan has occasional trouble with his claws getting stuck, why he is aging much faster, and a whole lot of other health issues (like bloody coughing fits and fading eye sight) that, while common for older humans, should be completely foreign to him. Heck, even the Logan from the comic that heavily inspired this movie, 'Old Man Logan', didn't suffer from those problems.
@@Parallax-3DThe food does weaken the mutants...in terms of their individual mutations. That's the reason why Logan's healing factor has slowed down. The food attacks the mutant gene weaking and then mutating/destroying it.
I saw this in the theater with my teenage son. it was probably the most heart wrenching film we'd seen - watching everyone leave the theater was like watching people leave a funeral. so very solemn, so much respect.
saw this in theaters. it was Charles' burial scene that broke me. it was sad that this character who championed values like mutual understanding, respect, and cooperation in films that came out across my teenage years was left buried in an unmarked grave by the side of the road. but the thing about it that broke me was Jackman's performance trying to eulogize Charles. because he can't. Logan is all alone, buried his last friend in the world, and he knows it. breaks my heart every single time.
Great reaction like always! This movie hits really, really hard, in a number of different ways. I think that's why everyone loved it so much. That and the acting and writing in this was magnificent. As soon as Laura said, "Daddy," everyone in the theater broke. A lot of people that grew up with Hugh Jackman as Logan were teary eyed because he played him for 17 yrs at this point I think and it was the end of Wolverine's story so to speak. Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman were sitting beside each other at the premiere, and Stewart said he noticed Hugh wipe away a tear, so he stopped fighting and allowed himself to do the same. Two legends appreciating the incredible send-off they gave their iconic characters. Dafne Keen the amazing young actress who played Laura is the daughter of British Actor Will Keen and Spanish actress María Fernández Ache. Maria was Dafne’s chaperone on set, and in the scene where Laura and Logan have the fierce argument in the car the director encouraged both performers to ad lib. After the scene was filmed Hugh Jackman, who has a daughter of about the same age, felt a bit uncomfortable about shouting and swearing so much at a child so went up to Dafne’s mom to make sure Dafne was okay.. “Don’t worry” said Maria, “she called you a c**t three times in Spanish in that last scene”. Do you remember in The Wolverine movie Yukio said that Logan will die having blood everywhere and holding his heart in his hand ? and he died the same way having his daughters hand in his hand. Keep up the good work
Re Laura's fighting style: she probably learned *how* to fight in the lab she was raised in, since she was meant to be a soldier, but because she's a little kid she has almost no body mass. Where Logan is big enough to throw his opponents around, Laura throws herself around.
@@MsSwordwolf Laura also does not have adamantium bonded to her skeleton the way Logan does. The adamantium is only in her hands and foot making her lighter and more agile. Logan can afford to charge head on into battle since the adamantium in his skeleton makes him durable like a tank. Laura on the other hand needs to be more careful and creative when taking down opponents.
This movie got released right after Deadpool came out but was filmed and completed before it came out. That's why despite him originally thinking he was done playing Logan he came back for Deadpool and Wolverine. He knew the fans have been wanting that team up forever.
So I went to see this in theaters alone. Sat next to this guy who, I believe, was also alone. As a "man," I was trying really hard not to cry in this movie and then I realized that almost everyone in the theater was nearly or actually in tears.
At the end when Logan says, "So, this is what it feels like" a lot of people think he's talking about being loved or having family or something like that. With most people's evidence being the scene in The Wolverine where he's told he will die with his heart in his hand and we see him holding Laura's hand. He loves her, hence dying with his heart in his hand. I think that his line is referring to him finally being able to die. Every time he's "died" before was either with the knowledge that he cannot die and will heal or, his healing factor prevents the natural senses and feelings a person experiences when death happens. Like how people who had near death experiences or people who did die and were brought back say they felt at peace or felt other things. I think that is what Logan is talking about. He can finally feel the peace that death brings. No more fighting. No more running. No more suffering. Just peace for a man whose entire life has been pain and suffering.
The trailer for Logan perfectly captures the feel of this movie. The clips accompanied by Johnny Cash's rendition of "Hurt" set an expectation of an emotional knock out punch. The movie over delivered on the promise.
I think Game of Thrones highlighted it for me first, but this movie solidified what can happen when the casting team really puts the work in and finds a great child actor. Dafne Keen is an exceptional performer who has been consistently excellent in everything I’ve seen her in. I thought she’d go on to big things after I saw this movie and she has not disappointed so far.
I saw it in theater. Everybody was so quiet. When I got out, I felt exhausted, like, completey drained. I had to sleep for a while. This movie is the masterpiece of all superheros movies and at the same time, you can't just jump into it without waching all the previous ones. You have to earn it. This one hits so hard because we have become familiar with those characters, we have grown to love and care for them, so it breaks our heart when we lose them. Thank you for your reaction. I feel like you were the perfect public for this one.
i'm currently watching the whole x-men franchise with my parents and we saw this one last week, i almost cried when my mother said she hated the movie and how strange it was LMAO I always knew she had no movie taste and how she hates violence but come onnnn😭 it's truly amazing cinema
Saw this at the movies and everyone had the same reaction and emotions in the third act which was with excitement from him going beserker rage mode in the forrest and emotional as he slowly fades away. It felt like a fitting end to Hugh Jackmans run as Wolverine.
Hell yeah. This is easily one of the best comic book movies out there. Also the beginning of director James Mangold's collaborations with Boyd Holbrook.
Hi KL.....This blew my mind about this movie ......In the last Wolverine movie entitled "The Wolverine" What was Yukio's prediction when she saw him die? Then think about his last line in this movie "So this is what it feels like."
Shocked and disturbed. I literally sat in the theater in tears long enough for an usher to ask me to leave. Couldn't believe all that died in this film. This was such a departure from all Marvel films.
This one did feel like a gut punch given how it all turns out at the end. I recently showed my friend this movie on an X-Men film marathon we had and she said "If I didn't know there was a film where he meets Deadpool I'd of burst into tears!!!" haha
Yes, my daughter is huge marvel fan and it was a father daughter day so I took her, but I didn't know it was going to be father/daughter movie really hit home for me and her, because funny part is she has my stubbornness and temper. So, I get Logan trying to raise a mini him as a daughter. There was not a dry eye in theater. BTW I loved your reaction and yes, it is dark, but beautiful at same time. I love that the children showed you they saw Logan / Wolverine as hero even though Logan never felt so. :)
Omg when I saw this in theaters, my partner at the time and I just bawled and bawled and when the lights finally came up we were still just crying in stunned silence. I cry every single time I watch the movie or a reaction still. I absolutely ADORE this movie even though I've never been a huge fan of the X-Men universe and have only seen a few of the earlier films once. It has everything... Great action, wonderful antagonists, such great acting especially Laura, and the messaging of found families is wonderful. Thanks for another wonderful reaction! PS Omg I love the Jinjer shirt! Between that and the Lorna Shore shirt I've seen I love it. I always love seeing more women into metal!
I remember seeing Logan opening weekend, as usual with my good friend who really got me deeper into the world of comic book heroes than just passing familiarity with the big movies. It was an emotional gut punch for me particularly because my dad, who had me when he was already nearing retirement age, had just turned 85 and had been in worsening health since a medical emergency a couple years prior. I recognized so much of his advancing frailty in Charles that it was hard to focus on the plot for the first act or so. Dad passed away about six months after that. Even though I hold this film in high regard, I think I've only sat down to watch it all the way through once since then.
I too saw it in the theater. The audience laughed at the funny parts and gasped at the violent ones, but it was silent at the end. People were solemn leaving the theater, but they were also talking about how great the movie was, many saying it was the best superhero to date. Mainly, they looked emotionally drained by the end of it. I'm currently the primary caregiver to my 95 year old father, and like Charles he also has Alzheimer's, so the scenes with Charles hit quite a bit different rewatching them now.
Great reaction! This is one of my favorite movies. Finally an R rated Wolverine movie. And it earned it's R rating in no time at all. I did go and see this in the theater and as a life long fan of Wolverine, it destroyed me. Multiple times but especially by the end. Hell I cried in the very first X-Men movie when I saw that at the theater. I was like 9? And when Wolverine did what he did to save Rogue, I thought he was a goner. But back to this movie, thinking this was Hugh Jackman's last movie as Logan, I was very satisfied with it. What a way to go out!
The Weapon X program, which produced Logan and Deadpool, was part of the larger Weapon Plus program. Weapon X was the 10th attempt to recreate the super soldier serum that made Cap. Laura is X-23 or the 23rd attempt.
Nice KL. Yeah, this one will hit you hard. An amazing movie. They grabbed a lot of stories from the original material here, and mixed it together to make a really good story. And a fitting end for a few characters.
(Hugs) for the tears.. This is my favorite performances by Patrick Stewart, Hugh Jackman and the break out performance by Dafne Keen. She will be twenty on my birthday, January 4 2025. I really love hanging out with you KL. It’s nice to see you laughing and doing well. 🥰 Love ya! ✌️🥰💕
My thoughts at the time were that all too often, franchises peter out, characters fade away, and we're never given any resolutions. So this, giving us heroic endings, tragic endings to a long story line, was heartbreaking, but beloved. I don't care if it's canon, or outside some timeline, it's all just argumentative debate, and it doesn't affect the fantastic film making, and lovely performances. I saw it 4 times in theaters, and it was a constant source of discussion in the office.
Hey Kaiielle! LOGAN is my favorite of all the X-men movies I have seen, & the only one to actually make me cry. The story is good, the action was great & the family dynamic of Xavier, Logan & Laura (both "L" names by the way) was endearing, even if we only had it for a couple of minutes. Anyway, great reaction.😊👍
I didn't want to edit what I wrote, so consider this a post script. I forgot to mention Wolverine is also my favorite of the X-men followed closely by Storm.😊
I saw this in theaters, and when the screen went to black and the title card came up it would have been completely silent except for the sound of multiple adults snuffling and crying. I never feel emotional when I initially see any of these movies on my own, no matter how much I love these characters. However, when I rewatch these movies and shows with my favorite UA-cam reactors , then I feel it a lot more. (Again, you were giggling thru the gore! 😁)
OMG I love you K! But I was about to get pissed if I didn’t see at least one actual tear by the end! Anyway, shit is crazy but I wish you a happy holiday if that is possible.
I watched this movie and Kong Skull Island in the same day, i cheered during the post credits scene of Skull Island and cried so hard that i hyperventilated-sighed. Honest Trailers even pointed this out: Logan protects Mexican children from a man named Donald to cross the border. They do mention New York City but Caliban is a different actor than in Apocalypse and a different age but continuity isn't a strong suit of the FOX X-Men but it can either be an ending to the Days of Future Past reboot timeline or a separate thing whichever you prefer.
The first time I watched it, from Logan's line "Ah, so this is what it feels like ", the subtext I got was 'to die'. The next time I watched it, the subtext I heard was 'to have a daughter' in addition to my first feeling. Watching your reaction here the subtext I heard was 'to have a daughter's love'. I wonder what else is coming across to other people.
@@kaiielle The first time I took it as feeling what it's like to die. But the second time I connected it with Charles' line in the farmhouse: "You know, Logan... this is what life looks like. A home, people who love each other. Safe place. You should take a moment and feel it."
Watch Deadpool and Wolverine. But... People won't agree with me in the comments of that one when you get to it 🫢 I saw this in theaters twice. The first time, I definitely got all emotional at the end... As I walked out an old couple, probably in their 70s at least, were talking about it. At that age... They were so sweet, calling it the best movie they saw in years and were holding hands the whole time. It was eye opening to overhear them and I smiled and went home with a memory I'll always enjoy.
Ok yes there are tears lol damn it every time for me, I've seen this movie probably 10 times and atleast probably 5 reactions and the "Daddy" and the "so this is what it feels like" literally ALWAYS gets me, also "it wasn't me it wasn't me" when x24 stabbed Charles.
Anytime I see a Logan reaction I immediately click on it lol and hey, it's KL . Hi KL 😁 been waiting for you to get to this lol, although I'm not looking forward to watching u cry, cause then I'm gonna cry lol😂 I always usually comment before and after watching so we'll see how many tears were shed lol
Never before, or since, have I left a superhero movie and not heard a ton of excited chatter from fellow theatre-goers. For once, viewers stayed to the end not for a fun after credit gag, but in the desperate hope that maybe, just maybe, it wasn't the end for Logan. People talked, but it was hushed tones, like everyone was afraid of breaking whatever spell had fallen over us.
this film is in the same continuity as the deadpool films, which is in a universe similar but obviously different to the main trilogy/first 2 Wolvie films but with DOFP that timeline got wiped and replaced with a new one. Deadpool 1 & 2 and this movie are in the same universe, just parallel to the one we know
K if you like Richard Grant. You should watch him in "Warlock" 1989 with Julian Sands. Excellent reaction as always. I knew the ending would get to you. It did it to me in the theater. Merry Christmas and happy New year to you and tour family, sending love as always
a lot of people assume just because you are a mutant you automatically have an advantage , many mutant are afraid to use their powers especially young mutants , they need guidance from Charles or Magneto to learn how to use their powers
27:31 Yes, the new "Logan" is called X-24, however only Laura is X-23, each child has a designated number. If...and I repeat IF this is the same timeline as "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" then Deadpool was X-11, so that would probably make the kids X-12 to X-23.
"I see you on your back, there's blood everywhere. You're holding your own heart in your hand. It's not beating” Sure there might be some fudging but that’s basically what she said about Logan dying. He never had his own heart in his hand in the wolverine.
Hugh Jackman: the one and only true definitive best Wolverine. Nobody can ever replace him. And to me nobody can ever replace anyone else from the first three X-Men movies as the characters. I don't care who Disney gets to play The X-Men next but they never been my X-Men. They will never be able to compete with the 2000 X-Men.
1:15 Bloodthirsty Kaiielle might be my favourite Kaiielle. I was not really cognizant of this previously, and now I feel a certain kinship. 👍😁 10:22 "She doesn't seem afraid though." That's a very accurate assessment M'Lady. 😉 17:31 Perhaps an unpopular opinion: Charles needs to be put down at this point, he's a constant danger to everyone. 37:37 This one gets everyone (at least anyone who has a soul). 😢
The fact that I know what a bummer this movie is often distracts me from its overall quality and excellent violence. A solid conclusion to Logan's story, he is truly a hero the likes of which we will never see again. 🤔 Cheers , Happy Weekend, and Happy Holidays to our lovely Hostess Kaiielle, and to all Y'all out there who aren't A-holes. 🥃☮❤
You're surprised to see Boyd Holbrook play a villain?! Wow, that's been like his niche lately. Between Logan, The Sandman, the Justified miniseries, and the last Indiana Jones movie, he's played some serious baddies in recent years. When I saw The Bikeriders last year, I was glad to see him not be a bad guy for the first time in a while (although, him standing next to Austin Butler so much made me get them confused several times - lol).
I'm too late to add anything new, but I loved this movie. Great performances and appreciate that it helped push away the stigma that comic stories have to be cheesy and for PG audiences to sell. Like Dredd, except people actually went and saw Logan... PS: Please please check out Predestination when you get back into a Nolan-esque movie mood. I think you would love it for [spoiler] reasons.
the adamantium that they bonded to his bones is what's killing him. when he was young, his healing factor enabled him to keep it in check but as he's getting old and frail, it can't keep up and it's killing him. a BRILLIANT little bit of detail that works perfectly for this movie.
it really sucks that you had to learn about Dafne Keen from the Acolyte. This is the movie that you should have discovered Keen in. This movie proves that Keen is not only a great actress BUT is the rightful successor to the Wolverine mantle if Hugh Jackman should ever totally quit.
I feel that this film possibly marked the end of the Golden Age of superhero movies, and ushered in a new age for the genre. From here on in, it would no longer be enough for a film to feature people with superhuman powers doing outlandish stunts in colourful costumes. Hits would be far more rare, and to be successful, a film would have to offer something different, whether it be in terms of emotional content or absurd Deadpool type humour. It's similar, perhaps, to the demise of the Hollywood western in the 1950s. Whereas almost any half-way decent western could be guaranteed an audience up until then, from the 1960s and '70s onwards, westerns needed something extra in order to succeed, whether it was the light-heartedness of something like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, the grittier approach of films like Soldier Blue, or the personal journey of A Man Called Horse. Hopefully, as the cookie-cutter superhero movies die out, we'll see the same thing happen to this genre: fewer films, but each one offering something even more original and engaging. Fingers crossed!
hugh jackman has come a long way since his first Australian film paperback hero. which is a romcom. james mangold did a really good job of creating a good story of an old hero's journey. so much better than the new star wars films rouge one was the only one that was good. and a really emotional ending. and of course a johnny cash song at the start of the end credits awesome. one episode of stargate atlantis has another johnny cash song. stargate sg1 being 10 seasons and stargate atlantis being 5 seasons would be a really big effort for a film and tv reactor to do. but it would be good.
Great reaction to Logan. This was such a great movie. Everything about it was just picture perfect so after new mutants you’re going to do a reaction to Deadpool and wolverine correct? Or do you gotta watch X-Men 97 first because I was thinking that you should watch Blade fantastic four Electra and daredevil and Deadpool two after this are you going to do that or did you already did a reaction to them?
This one definitely didn't disappoint! Thanks so much for watching. 😊 I'm taking a break from X-Men for the rest of December to finish up Phase 4 of the MCU and put out some holiday reactions, and then we'll continue with the franchise in the new year! ❤

It's criminal there hasn't been an X-23 standalone film. Laura is on of the coolest characters in all Marvel.
I'd have been happy if they spun it off into an Alpha-Flight series even if some of the characters are swapped around.
I saw this in the theater with my teenage son. it was probably the most heart wrenching film we'd seen - watching everyone leave the theater was like watching people leave a funeral. so very solemn, so much respect.

This film never disappoints. It is a great example of how powerful and emotional a comic book movie can be when handled with love and thoughtfulness.
I don't really even consider this a comic book movie, it's more like a western that just happens to have comic book characters in it.
One of the few times I’ve cried in theaters. Movies usually can’t crack this old jaded heart but man for some reason I just sat there and sobbed 😭

The Dark Knight, Logan, Spiderverse, that's it. No other comic book movie even sniffs their greatness
That's my holy Trinity right there, but I will say the Donner Superman and Raimi Spiderman do come close, as does the first Iron Man
This movie got released right after Deadpool came out but was filmed and completed before it came out. That's why despite him originally thinking he was done playing Logan he came back for Deadpool and Wolverine. He knew the fans have been wanting that team up forever.

X-23 is such a great character. Her claw setup is the best out of all of Logan's lineage.
Her claw arrangement is far more lethal too. The two claws in her hands do more damage due to the amount of space between them.
I think Game of Thrones highlighted it for me first, but this movie solidified what can happen when the casting team really puts the work in and finds a great child actor. Dafne Keen is an exceptional performer who has been consistently excellent in everything I’ve seen her in. I thought she’d go on to big things after I saw this movie and she has not disappointed so far.
Beautiful reaction KL! and my face was drenched in tears first time seeing this.
Peak Marvel of the Fox era.
Remember what Yukio said Logans death would be. "On your back, holding your heart in your hands". He dies on his back with Lauras hand in his.
Yeah. 😭😭😭
Ahhhh, the little Last of Us score edit! Well done, KL.
I saw it in theater. Everybody was so quiet. When I got out, I felt exhausted, like, completey drained. I had to sleep for a while.
This movie is the masterpiece of all superheros movies and at the same time, you can't just jump into it without waching all the previous ones. You have to earn it. This one hits so hard because we have become familiar with those characters, we have grown to love and care for them, so it breaks our heart when we lose them.
Thank you for your reaction. I feel like you were the perfect public for this one.
Who's cutting onions? 😢
Laura turning the cross around always gets me
i'm currently watching the whole x-men franchise with my parents and we saw this one last week, i almost cried when my mother said she hated the movie and how strange it was LMAO I always knew she had no movie taste and how she hates violence but come onnnn😭 it's truly amazing cinema
Saw this at the movies and everyone had the same reaction and emotions in the third act which was with excitement from him going beserker rage mode in the forrest and emotional as he slowly fades away. It felt like a fitting end to Hugh Jackmans run as Wolverine.
Hell yeah. This is easily one of the best comic book movies out there. Also the beginning of director James Mangold's collaborations with Boyd Holbrook.
Hi KL.....This blew my mind about this movie ......In the last Wolverine movie entitled "The Wolverine" What was Yukio's prediction when she saw him die? Then think about his last line in this movie "So this is what it feels like."
Shocked and disturbed. I literally sat in the theater in tears long enough for an usher to ask me to leave. Couldn't believe all that died in this film. This was such a departure from all Marvel films.
The Westchester Incident is Charles had a seizure at the Mansion that killed the X-Men and probably some/all the students.
This one did feel like a gut punch given how it all turns out at the end.
I recently showed my friend this movie on an X-Men film marathon we had and she said "If I didn't know there was a film where he meets Deadpool I'd of burst into tears!!!" haha
Yes, my daughter is huge marvel fan and it was a father daughter day so I took her, but I didn't know it was going to be father/daughter movie really hit home for me and her, because funny part is she has my stubbornness and temper. So, I get Logan trying to raise a mini him as a daughter. There was not a dry eye in theater. BTW I loved your reaction and yes, it is dark, but beautiful at same time. I love that the children showed you they saw Logan / Wolverine as hero even though Logan never felt so. :)
Omg when I saw this in theaters, my partner at the time and I just bawled and bawled and when the lights finally came up we were still just crying in stunned silence. I cry every single time I watch the movie or a reaction still. I absolutely ADORE this movie even though I've never been a huge fan of the X-Men universe and have only seen a few of the earlier films once. It has everything... Great action, wonderful antagonists, such great acting especially Laura, and the messaging of found families is wonderful. Thanks for another wonderful reaction!
PS Omg I love the Jinjer shirt! Between that and the Lorna Shore shirt I've seen I love it. I always love seeing more women into metal!
I remember seeing Logan opening weekend, as usual with my good friend who really got me deeper into the world of comic book heroes than just passing familiarity with the big movies. It was an emotional gut punch for me particularly because my dad, who had me when he was already nearing retirement age, had just turned 85 and had been in worsening health since a medical emergency a couple years prior. I recognized so much of his advancing frailty in Charles that it was hard to focus on the plot for the first act or so. Dad passed away about six months after that. Even though I hold this film in high regard, I think I've only sat down to watch it all the way through once since then.
Loved the reaction and LOVE the shirt!
After all these years and movies it's so rough seeing Charles and Logan like this but it's a great movie. Thanks for the reaction.
NOBODY can rage scream like Logan!!!
I too saw it in the theater. The audience laughed at the funny parts and gasped at the violent ones, but it was silent at the end. People were solemn leaving the theater, but they were also talking about how great the movie was, many saying it was the best superhero to date. Mainly, they looked emotionally drained by the end of it.
I'm currently the primary caregiver to my 95 year old father, and like Charles he also has Alzheimer's, so the scenes with Charles hit quite a bit different rewatching them now.
Great reaction! This is one of my favorite movies. Finally an R rated Wolverine movie. And it earned it's R rating in no time at all. I did go and see this in the theater and as a life long fan of Wolverine, it destroyed me. Multiple times but especially by the end. Hell I cried in the very first X-Men movie when I saw that at the theater. I was like 9? And when Wolverine did what he did to save Rogue, I thought he was a goner. But back to this movie, thinking this was Hugh Jackman's last movie as Logan, I was very satisfied with it. What a way to go out!
The Weapon X program, which produced Logan and Deadpool, was part of the larger Weapon Plus program. Weapon X was the 10th attempt to recreate the super soldier serum that made Cap. Laura is X-23 or the 23rd attempt.
Great reaction! I'm glad you're not skipping New Mutants, and hope also means (when the time comes) you're reacting for X-Men 97.
When the movies are done, I'll def take a break. But I would like to do that show eventually, maybe in 2026.
Indeed. New Mutants is great. Never understood why people ripped it. Maybe they don't know the comics...
The trailer for this had Johnny Cash's cover of "Hurt"...😢
Dammit. Even reactions to this movie make me tear up.
Nice KL. Yeah, this one will hit you hard. An amazing movie. They grabbed a lot of stories from the original material here, and mixed it together to make a really good story. And a fitting end for a few characters.
Love your response , I've never seen a Wolverine movie , but I think you could see it as a stand alone .
(Hugs) for the tears..
This is my favorite performances by Patrick Stewart, Hugh Jackman and the break out performance by Dafne Keen. She will be twenty on my birthday, January 4 2025. I really love hanging out with you KL. It’s nice to see you laughing and doing well. 🥰
Love ya! ✌️🥰💕
My thoughts at the time were that all too often, franchises peter out, characters fade away, and we're never given any resolutions. So this, giving us heroic endings, tragic endings to a long story line, was heartbreaking, but beloved. I don't care if it's canon, or outside some timeline, it's all just argumentative debate, and it doesn't affect the fantastic film making, and lovely performances. I saw it 4 times in theaters, and it was a constant source of discussion in the office.
Truly an incredible film. Absolutely amazing and very touching.
I love the panic at the train. I live in the Midwest. I’ve had to wait over an hour for a train to cross. Over an hour….
I've had to wait a long time for a train too, but not when it's traveling that fast!
Love the jinjer shirt!
Hey Kaiielle! LOGAN is my favorite of all the X-men movies I have seen, & the only one to actually make me cry. The story is good, the action was great & the family dynamic of Xavier, Logan & Laura (both "L" names by the way) was endearing, even if we only had it for a couple of minutes. Anyway, great reaction.😊👍
I didn't want to edit what I wrote, so consider this a post script. I forgot to mention Wolverine is also my favorite of the X-men followed closely by Storm.😊
Saw this movie twice on opening day ❤
I saw this in theaters, and when the screen went to black and the title card came up it would have been completely silent except for the sound of multiple adults snuffling and crying.
I never feel emotional when I initially see any of these movies on my own, no matter how much I love these characters. However, when I rewatch these movies and shows with my favorite UA-cam reactors , then I feel it a lot more.
(Again, you were giggling thru the gore! 😁)
OMG I love you K! But I was about to get pissed if I didn’t see at least one actual tear by the end! Anyway, shit is crazy but I wish you a happy holiday if that is possible.
Sometimes I don't cry, though! Happy Holidays.
I totality didn't cry watching this the first time...or during this reaction.
I watched this movie and Kong Skull Island in the same day, i cheered during the post credits scene of Skull Island and cried so hard that i hyperventilated-sighed. Honest Trailers even pointed this out: Logan protects Mexican children from a man named Donald to cross the border. They do mention New York City but Caliban is a different actor than in Apocalypse and a different age but continuity isn't a strong suit of the FOX X-Men but it can either be an ending to the Days of Future Past reboot timeline or a separate thing whichever you prefer.
_Probably my favorite in the entire series._
Great reaction.
I think this is the first time I've ever seen you cry during a reaction. Usually stoic.
Oh wow, there's plenty of tears on the channel, you just have to look for them! 😉
Before the world cried for Iron Man
We cried for Wolverine
Awesome reaction!
The whole theater was sniffling at the end.
three things
1. your amazing thank you for you
2.this in a theater with 100 crying people was crazy
3. cant wait for d&w
The first time I watched it, from Logan's line "Ah, so this is what it feels like ", the subtext I got was 'to die'. The next time I watched it, the subtext I heard was 'to have a daughter' in addition to my first feeling. Watching your reaction here the subtext I heard was 'to have a daughter's love'. I wonder what else is coming across to other people.
I think I'll always interpret it as the feeling of dying, cause mans been alive for 200 years.
@@kaiielle The first time I took it as feeling what it's like to die. But the second time I connected it with Charles' line in the farmhouse: "You know, Logan... this is what life looks like. A home, people who love each other. Safe place. You should take a moment and feel it."
I like that it can be interpreted in so many different ways!
Masterpiece!
Best comic centric movie. If you take out the superhero elements the story stands alone as just a great film overall.
Completely agree!
Wowwww one of the driest reactions to this movie I’ve ever seen! Congratulations! One of the strongest reactors I have seen by far!
Watch Deadpool and Wolverine. But... People won't agree with me in the comments of that one when you get to it 🫢
I saw this in theaters twice. The first time, I definitely got all emotional at the end... As I walked out an old couple, probably in their 70s at least, were talking about it. At that age... They were so sweet, calling it the best movie they saw in years and were holding hands the whole time. It was eye opening to overhear them and I smiled and went home with a memory I'll always enjoy.
"Wolverine-ing is hard"
Ok yes there are tears lol damn it every time for me, I've seen this movie probably 10 times and atleast probably 5 reactions and the "Daddy" and the "so this is what it feels like" literally ALWAYS gets me, also "it wasn't me it wasn't me" when x24 stabbed Charles.
Probably the most depressing yet beautiful movie I’ve ever watched
Anytime I see a Logan reaction I immediately click on it lol and hey, it's KL . Hi KL 😁 been waiting for you to get to this lol, although I'm not looking forward to watching u cry, cause then I'm gonna cry lol😂 I always usually comment before and after watching so we'll see how many tears were shed lol
Never before, or since, have I left a superhero movie and not heard a ton of excited chatter from fellow theatre-goers. For once, viewers stayed to the end not for a fun after credit gag, but in the desperate hope that maybe, just maybe, it wasn't the end for Logan. People talked, but it was hushed tones, like everyone was afraid of breaking whatever spell had fallen over us.
this film is in the same continuity as the deadpool films, which is in a universe similar but obviously different to the main trilogy/first 2 Wolvie films but with DOFP that timeline got wiped and replaced with a new one. Deadpool 1 & 2 and this movie are in the same universe, just parallel to the one we know
also New Mutants is in this timeline with the DP films
K if you like Richard Grant. You should watch him in "Warlock" 1989 with Julian Sands. Excellent reaction as always. I knew the ending would get to you. It did it to me in the theater. Merry Christmas and happy New year to you and tour family, sending love as always
a lot of people assume just because you are a mutant you automatically have an advantage , many mutant are afraid to use their powers especially young mutants , they need guidance from Charles or Magneto to learn how to use their powers
27:31 Yes, the new "Logan" is called X-24, however only Laura is X-23, each child has a designated number. If...and I repeat IF this is the same timeline as "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" then Deadpool was X-11, so that would probably make the kids X-12 to X-23.
According to the files the children are all X-23, Laura is X23-23.
"I see you on your back, there's blood everywhere. You're holding your own heart in your hand. It's not beating”
Sure there might be some fudging but that’s basically what she said about Logan dying. He never had his own heart in his hand in the wolverine.
10:39 You can tell Laura has what it takes to get a head in life. 😉
It's a shame he wasn't more headstrong. ;)
@@AndyBrazeau-e1c He'll never be the head of a major corporation ^^
@@thijsvandrenth5947 Okay, that will do.
And that's how he died holding his heart in his hand.
And a month later, the first Deadpool movie came out and Hugh was like, ‘Shit, I want to be in that!”
“Logan” came out in 2017. “Deadpool” was the year before. So no, it didn’t happen that way.
Hugh Jackman: the one and only true definitive best Wolverine. Nobody can ever replace him. And to me nobody can ever replace anyone else from the first three X-Men movies as the characters. I don't care who Disney gets to play The X-Men next but they never been my X-Men. They will never be able to compete with the 2000 X-Men.
1:15 Bloodthirsty Kaiielle might be my favourite Kaiielle. I was not really cognizant of this previously, and now I feel a certain kinship. 👍😁
10:22 "She doesn't seem afraid though." That's a very accurate assessment M'Lady. 😉
17:31 Perhaps an unpopular opinion: Charles needs to be put down at this point, he's a constant danger to everyone.
37:37 This one gets everyone (at least anyone who has a soul). 😢
The fact that I know what a bummer this movie is often distracts me from its overall quality and excellent violence. A solid conclusion to Logan's story, he is truly a hero the likes of which we will never see again. 🤔 Cheers , Happy Weekend, and Happy Holidays to our lovely Hostess Kaiielle, and to all Y'all out there who aren't A-holes. 🥃☮❤
Logan was pretty much Marvel's very own version of The Last of Us.
In the comic this is partially based on, it was Logan, not Charles, who killed the X-men. Mysterio fooled him.
You're surprised to see Boyd Holbrook play a villain?! Wow, that's been like his niche lately. Between Logan, The Sandman, the Justified miniseries, and the last Indiana Jones movie, he's played some serious baddies in recent years. When I saw The Bikeriders last year, I was glad to see him not be a bad guy for the first time in a while (although, him standing next to Austin Butler so much made me get them confused several times - lol).
Haha I see what you did there. Love The Last Of Us... Jinjer too.
Wolverine Weapon X, Laura X-23, clone Logan X-24
Nice Jinjer t-shirt.
The black & white movie on the tv was "Shane" which you should watch & compare to this.
The New Mutants is mostly a standalone movie.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I'm too late to add anything new, but I loved this movie. Great performances and appreciate that it helped push away the stigma that comic stories have to be cheesy and for PG audiences to sell. Like Dredd, except people actually went and saw Logan...
PS: Please please check out Predestination when you get back into a Nolan-esque movie mood. I think you would love it for [spoiler] reasons.
Gotta love that R rating!!!
the adamantium that they bonded to his bones is what's killing him. when he was young, his healing factor enabled him to keep it in check but as he's getting old and frail, it can't keep up and it's killing him. a BRILLIANT little bit of detail that works perfectly for this movie.
❤❤❤
it really sucks that you had to learn about Dafne Keen from the Acolyte. This is the movie that you should have discovered Keen in. This movie proves that Keen is not only a great actress BUT is the rightful successor to the Wolverine mantle if Hugh Jackman should ever totally quit.
The Acolyte was not great, but not the shitstorm that so many people seem to think it is. Dafne was great in it.
Now at 50 years old I still tear up watching this film. Mangold and Jackman said we are going to get it right this time!
I feel that this film possibly marked the end of the Golden Age of superhero movies, and ushered in a new age for the genre. From here on in, it would no longer be enough for a film to feature people with superhuman powers doing outlandish stunts in colourful costumes. Hits would be far more rare, and to be successful, a film would have to offer something different, whether it be in terms of emotional content or absurd Deadpool type humour.
It's similar, perhaps, to the demise of the Hollywood western in the 1950s. Whereas almost any half-way decent western could be guaranteed an audience up until then, from the 1960s and '70s onwards, westerns needed something extra in order to succeed, whether it was the light-heartedness of something like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, the grittier approach of films like Soldier Blue, or the personal journey of A Man Called Horse. Hopefully, as the cookie-cutter superhero movies die out, we'll see the same thing happen to this genre: fewer films, but each one offering something even more original and engaging. Fingers crossed!
hugh jackman has come a long way since his first Australian film paperback hero. which is a romcom. james mangold did a really good job of creating a good story of an old hero's journey. so much better than the new star wars films rouge one was the only one that was good. and a really emotional ending. and of course a johnny cash song at the start of the end credits awesome. one episode of stargate atlantis has another johnny cash song. stargate sg1 being 10 seasons and stargate atlantis being 5 seasons would be a really big effort for a film and tv reactor to do. but it would be good.
Great reaction to Logan. This was such a great movie. Everything about it was just picture perfect so after new mutants you’re going to do a reaction to Deadpool and wolverine correct? Or do you gotta watch X-Men 97 first because I was thinking that you should watch Blade fantastic four Electra and daredevil and Deadpool two after this are you going to do that or did you already did a reaction to them?
