Dafne Keen the phenomenal young actress who played Laura, is the daughter of the Spanish Actress María Fernández Ache and the British Actor Will Keen.. both Dafne and Hugh Jackman improvised many of their scenes. The scene When they are having their fierce argument in the car was one of them.. afterwards Hugh was a little uncomfortable about speaking to a child in that way even in a movie scene and went up to Dafne’s mother Maria who was chaperoning her on the film to ask if Dafne was okay, Maria said. “Don’t worry about it, in that last scene she just called you a c*nt in Spanish twice”
The scene when he keeps telling Charles “It wasn’t me, it wasn’t me”, Always kills me. He was terrified that Charles would die thinking that Logan had stabbed him.
@@donnyouttheway4091also... Charles: "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 watched this movie in the theater when it came out with my brother and yeah it was traumatic to see especially being a lifelong fan of wolverine And I was tearing up with you on this watch through.
Fun fact: when shooting the forest scene for the first time, Dafne Keen was having so much fun that she started grinning and giggling as she was slashing people and forgot to stick to the choreography. This gave Hugh Jackman such a cuteness overload that he picked Dafne up and hugged her firmly.
@@thomasanderson2384 A kid thinking performing violent manslaughter is not potentially problematic at that age? A man thinking that picking up a child actor he is working with and hugging them is not weird? If High Jackman looked like the Elephant Man, people would readily realize my point. Lastly, people like you in denial of the harsh realities of life because you are obsessed by the "cuteness overload 😭" simply fcking perpetuate the seeming complacency about the evil around us. Screw you, by the way. I have never hurt anyone: my cold ruthlessness that denies myself "normal" interactions with lot like you is a disciplined yet painfully often misunderstood mindset I have adopted in order to protect the people I care about from violence and dangerousness.
@@mss11235 Honestly, I think it's your thoughts on the matter are the bigger issue. The kid wasn't performing violent manslaughter. She was acting out a well-rehearsed scene and got a case of the sillies. If you've ever been around children, you should know that happens. A lot. Humans are physical beings. Sure, the current mindset is to believe that any contact with another person is a "bad touch," but that's BS. Yes, assault is bad. Assault is creepy. The problem is, recent generations have ignored the fact that physical contact incorporates so much more than assault. It could be rooted in compassion, support (both physical and emotional), affection, comradery, etc. All of these interactions are "intimate", but not in the way you seem to wish to imagine them. So yes, the problem is with your thinking. You have twisted the story of a nice moment between two people into something evil. And that's sad.
I think the hardest part of this movie was how real it was. Take away the mutant powers and the cloning and conspiracies and what not and you're left with two very real and painful stories. The story of watching your heros falter and fall from their heights and the story of family, good and bad.
That's exactly how I felt after watching in the theater and I think it actually elevates it above the source material. Old Man Logan was a great comic book story but this film took it to another whole level. It's a perfect example of how people like Martin Scorsese are completely wrong in their notion that comic book movies are not "cinema".
The movie is heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. Wolverine sacrificed himself so the future of the x men could live on. Out with the old and in with the new.
Patrick Stewart deserved an Oscar for this performance. Even those of us who read the Old Man Logan books were not prepared for just how human this story is.
Dafne Keen crushed this role pretty hard. For a role that required both quiet subtlety and unbridled rage (and really nothing in between) I thought she sold it brilliantly. It's even more impressive considering the other powerful performances on screen along side her in this film.
When the Professor asks if she reminds Logan of anyone, my first thought was "yeah, she kinda looks like Jean" which is odd because we know she's not Jean's daughter.
Yukio's vision from the wolverine came true. "Your lying on your back...there's blood everywhere...your holding your heart in your hand..." makes me sad every time 😢
@@Hybredyeah you're right thanks for saying this! Now ppl r hanging up on u for pointing this out but it's true, I also don't even know if this was confirmed to be Yukios vision, pretty sure it's just a widely accepted fan theory
It is so easy to focus on the tragedy of Logan. What happened to Charles though is something I dont think is often enough mentioned. Charles knew everyone's thoughts. The darkest thoughts that would be most secret he knew them. Still he believed in the potential good of all humans and mutants. To have his ability and not be jaded is incredibly inspiring. Where did that lead... degenerative brain disease causing so much harm to those he promised to protect. Even through all that, I think most tear jerking part was him telling Laura, dont be what they made you, and understanding the feeling of family. Logan searched his whole for a place to truly belong. Too bad he didnt find it till the very end.
To be fair, he had to actually focus on someone's mind to read it and his whole thing is ethical use of powers so he probably only read minds when he needed to.
I love that they added the aspect of his Adamantium actually killing him and slowing his healing factor. Which if i remember right, it has always been slowing his healing factor because it has been fighting the effects of metal poisioning since they put it in him. It's taken this long for it to wear him down.
Marvel did a whole arc based on the adamantium slowing his healing factor back in about '93 when Magneto ripped it all out of him and he ended up going kind of super-feral with almost-instant healing, so it was definitely nice to see that alluded to here
@@DavidGowers I remember it being an issue at least once before that ('88, maybe). Wolverine and Rogue were in Genosha and had their powers nullified. Wolverine was slowly dying because his healing factor normally helped offset the adamantium in his system. They expanded on that dramatically when Magneto ripped the adamantium out a few years later. Not my favorite issue(s) nor my favorite run of "Uncanny X-Men," but it had its moments.
His healing power was always fighting the Adamantium poisoning but the mutant suppressant that was put into corn crops and in corn syrup by Richard E Grant's character meant that Logan's healing wasn't strong enough to overpower the Adamantium poisoning anymore.
The reason that his regenerative healing factor is very weak which is slowing his healing, aging a bit rapidly, and weak to protect against metal poison of adamantium, is because it protected him against an unknown virus that destroyed the mutant population but the virus severely damaged it and that is why it is happening to him.
It was the mutant poison that diminished his regeneration ability that allowed the adamantium to kill him. It also allowed him to get drunk which he couldn't do before...
"The Westchester incident" that they mention, takes place a years before this movie. Charles had his first seizure and accidentally killed everyone of his students and several of the X-men at the academy and also injured a further 600 people. Charles mind was declared a weapon of mass destruction by the goverment, which is why they fled to Mexico and Logan wants to buy a boat for them. I find it very interesting to combine someone with Charles amazing powers with dementia and seziures. We mostly see the X-men in their prime, to watch their decline to common "human" conditions is very facinating, but also extremly serious when Charles litterally has the capablity to kill every single human on the planet. So sad that he dies after such a long time of panic and dissorientation "This was the most perfect night i had in a long time"
As someone who took care of an aging relative that suffered from several illnesses including dementia, Charles's decline felt all too real to me. Incredible movie.
I wasn't old enough to care for my grandfather in any significant way but this impacts me as well. He was never good with children and I was never very attached to him, but seeing him age and grow less lucid overtime was painful, dementia is one hell of a condition.
Bro, I swear the most insane thing about this movie was when they literally shot a HARPOON into a 10 YEAR OLD'S Chest. I think it's because at that point, we already know that she has wolverines abilities, but I can't believe most reactors are so chill at that moment. I had the same reaction as addie 😂😂
The Wolverine clone was originally supposed to be Sabertooth but it was changed, obviously. There was also a mention and nod to it earlier in the movie that tigers are extinct.
All the stuff with Charles is so heartbreaking. Even just hearing him swear brings back memories of my Granddad and how he deteriorated from dementia. He was always so kind and gentle and wouldn't dream of swearing around his grandkids. But once his mind started to go he'd have these bizarre moments of aggression. It was like someone else had taken over.
Logan is one of my absolute favorite movies period. The action scenes are brutal and well-choreographed, the dialogue and story are incredible, the acting is masterful in all three of the leading characters, which is really saying something considering one of them was a child, and the emotion impact is very tangible. It's one of very few movies that has actually made me cry and I'm proud to include this among those ranks. Masterpiece of a film.
This movie is depressing from start to end, and by the end of it, everything we know is just gone. Logan after living for 200 years and witnessing so much, is finally resting in peace.
So, in this movie the X-Men died because of an accident involving Charles losing control due to his degenerative brain desease. The way Logan was portayed in the movie though has a lot of similarities (probably inspired by) and alternative reality shown in the comic "Old man Logan", in which he himself killed the other x-men while under an illusion. He thought their home was being invaded by a bunch of villains and went berzerk on them but was in fact attacking the other X-men.
Logan has around 200yo in this movie. He have seen many wars, lost a lot of dear people and suffered A LOT. That's one of the thing that makes that character so deep. I think it's the only movie that shows us the famous Berserker Rage of Wolverine even if he was on juice. I love that movie so much, thx for the vid miss 🤘
@alberach ....1800 + 200 = 2000 And we don't know when in the 1800s he was born. So I was pretty much accurate enough pal 😉 I've said "around 200yo" so in the first x-men movie, he was "almost 200yo" and in Logan "a lil more than 200yo.
Yeah, Logan definitely stands out from the pack. Feels like you're in the real world that those other movies were based on. Especially the part where he flips through the comic "Maybe a quarter of it happened..."
This is definitely one of those movies that pulls at a man's instinctive emotions, it's why it was such a hit I think. Between Logan dealing with time finally catching up to him, losing all of his close friends and loved ones, taking care of an elderly father figure. And then having to come to terms with being a father himself. I can see why some are annoyed Wolverine will be in the next Deadpool movie.
It's funny that Addie didn't seem to recognize the "Alkali-Transigen" on the business card. Alkali Lake is where the Weapon X program was held. It's where Logan got the adamantium grafted to his bones. Logan instantly recognized it, and he knew that the Weapon X program was still operating and his past was once again coming back to haunt him.
Hey Addie love your reactions! Something you may have missed is when Logan and Charles were driving in the car and on the radio it was talking about an event that killed mutants and injured many, that was referring to Charles.. He accidentally killed a bunch of the X-Men while he had a seizure.
I SO appreciate that they left that as kind of a footnote in the movie, rather than using it as some kind of big "Charles bad!" plot point, while at the same time using it as something of an explanation of why he's as broken as he is aside from the seizures.
They did that masterfully. Charles' mental power through the degenerative state was too great. He of course targeted mutants, and took out the whole school in one go. Every X men that had a strong connection to Charles was brain fried. The few that survived could not function normally again. Charles did take out lots of bad mutants also.
@@zettkusanagi6322 "bad" is always up for interpretation in X-men. You know what would have happened if Magneto had won, even once? Not this. The entire world state is a sign of Charles' failure. So maybe, just maybe, Magneto was right.
@@DavidGowers They did a great job. I mean, it's a realistic movie. So the question of what would happen if the most powerful psionic in the world slipped into dementia is a real one.
@@zettkusanagi6322 but wasnt it sinister that got in charles head and made him get in wolverines head that made him kill other mutants, thats why he was spiraling also
This movie is hitting so hard for me. I lost my dad a few months ago, he had dementia too, and seeing your hero like that hurts way more than anything I've gone through, emotionally or physically, cos I at least can understand and be myself in the best and worst of times. I swear to god I'd rather have any other illness than a mental one.
One of the most brilliant and beautiful moments in any film is when Logan picks up and carries Laura the same way he was carrying Professor X. Setting down one responsibility and immediately picking up the next.
Fun Fact: When he was cast in the first X-Men film, Hugh Jackman studied the rural Albertan accent and Cal Dodd`s vocal performance as Wolverine in "X-Men:The Animated Series"(George Buza who voiced Beast was the Albertan truck driver dropping off Marie/Rogue at Laughlan County in the first film.)
This was filmed primarily near Abq, NM... ive hiked near where Logan is buried in the Sandia Mountains. Its actually a ranchers property, and the studio got sued for using some of their land in the movie without consent.
Yukio's vision from The Wolverine actually did come true. Logan would die lying on his back. Bleeding all over. With his heart in his hand. Laura is his heart.😢💔
@hulkslayer626 No. But I watched both the 2013 Wolverine movie and this movie beforehand. In the 2013 movie, Yukio had a vision that Logan would die in the way described in my first comment. In this movie, Logan did die in the way Yukio said he would. Laura symbolically is Logan's heart. If you watch both movies, then you will be able to pick up on these details and understand the symbolism behind it all.
I hear a lot of people claim this about Yukio's vision coming true, but in context Yukio clearly says "in a room like this" like an operating theatre, and it's clearly referring to the moment in that same film where he briefly dies before resuscitating. It's a cute idea, but it's definitely fans cherry-picking part of the prophesy to try and make this ending more "perfect"
Logan, like Nolan's Dark Knight, is one of those films that transcends its genre as a truly great film. "Oh... so this is what it's like..." Breaks me every. Damn. Time.
If you remember back to that wolverine movie that was in Japan, that chick that could see how people die, she told Logan she saw him laying on his back, blood everywhere, holding his heart in his hand...she was right. Logan was holding Laura's hand, his heart ♥ 😥. This is such a powerful movie and yes I've been waiting for you to react to it. Great reaction. Gotta admit though, Laura is such a badass isn't she? OK I posted this before finishing the very end of your reaction 😅
"It's not beating" Sorry to break it to you, but that was never what she saw in the future. Everyone focuses on the first time she mentions her vision in the movie (missing the part where his heart is not beating) because there you can draw a parallel, but later in The Wolverine she is much more specific "I saw you die in a Room like this, with your heart in your hand" She didn't see him dying in the woods holding another person's hands, she literally saw him on that operating table. Where he dies, albeit briefly, after having having his actual heart in his hand.
@@GARYHODGKINSON Obviously from a writing perspective these two things are unrelated and people just draw parallels between the two. However, for head canon purposes, to counter poopooers trying to spoil the fun, you can just say that we don't know how she experienced the "visions". After all, she misinterpreted what she saw in The Wolverine. Logan might just be an anomaly that tricked her powers. Because they are two times where his heart stops she only "visually" associated with the one she was most familiar with, but perceived both events. Checkmate, party pooper.
@@Barnuses "I Saw." sorry to continue to be a party pooper, but those words are the true checkmate because they tell you exactly how she experiences her visions... visually. She Saw him in that operating theatre, she didn't feel him there, she didn't hear a voice telling her about a heart, she literally saw him. Every single time she talks about her visions, she is talking about visually seeing something. And she didn't see him in the woods, she saw him in an operating theatre, didn't see him holding the hand of a grieving child, she saw him holding his own physical heart, which stopped beating. If Laura is a heart that has stopped beating, then in Laura would have to be dead in the vision too. She didn't "misinterpret" what she had seen, because it played out exactly as she saw it. He died. But his mutation returned him to life. A person, even if CPR brings them back, whose heart has stopped beating, is dead. Yukio only sees death in her visions, she doesn't see life, even if it comes from someone who was dead moments ago. Hundreds of people die every year, maybe even every day, who don't remain dead. So, let's summarise... you have a head canon, and to defend your head canon, you invent an aspect of her power where she perceives things as well as seeing them, you invent the notion that her powers can be "tricked" despite her literally saying that she is always right, you invent the notion that we can't know how she experiences her visions, despite her saying "But it's not like I get a complete picture, more like looking through a keyhole" and from that, you feel you can declare checkmate? You are welcome to your head canon, but when all of the facts are against you, and all you have is more things that you have made up, then I'm sorry, but your head canon is objectively wrong.
@@GARYHODGKINSON "I saw" could be just as metaphorical as "complete picture" or "looking through a keyhole." How could she see his heart in his hand if it's inside of his body? It would be too dark and cramped to make out anything from the inside. Much less if it was still beating. From the outside his hand could be holding anything. And she didn't say she saw it on a display screen. Even if she did, the machine that was showing it was moved before he even got to his heart and he had to feel for the device attached to his heart. He also pulled the device out before his heart stopped beating. We know this because the bed was monitoring his heart and flatlined after he pulled out the device. So his hand wasn't even inside of his chest when he "died." So either she was wrong, or she interpreted the situation differently than it actually played out. Unless she considered the device that was attached to his heart as his actual heart, because it stopped functioning in his hand thus "wasn't beating" when he "died". But that would just be an interpretation. They never show us how she perceives her future knowledge. Just because she chose the word "see" doesn't mean it's accurate. You "see" things in your dreams, but you aren't using your eyes. If her visions are being funneled through her visual cortex and she interprets them as images, that doesn't mean her brain is accurately translating what is being relayed to her through her powers. Because she was wrong about his heart being in his hand when it wasn't beating.
@@Barnuses Well this is just grasping at straws "could be just as metaphorical" well, first you need to demonstrate that any of it is metaphorical. You haven't. You ask how she could see his heart, then insist that because she doesn't specifically say that she could see the display screen, that somehow negates that she saw the very room, in which that screen is placed. Oh but the machine was moved.... but what about the other 6 screens? It wasn't just one you know. In fact, considering how many screens there were, it's actually highly unlikely that she wouldn't have seen one, when peering through the keyhole. Visually. Now you do get one thing right, he does flatline after his hand came away from his heart, but it's seconds apart. Oh but wait, ECG monitors can have anything up to a five second delay, soooooo.... www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/cir.0b013e31826ae459 But what could she have seen (yes, seen) in her vision? She sees him rummaging around in his chest, sees his hand on his heart, on the screen, sees him pull something out of his chest, then sees him flatlining. Did she even know about the probe when she had the visual vision? And lastly, yes she uses visual terms to describe her visions, every single time, including actually describing what it the experience is like, but as you choose to ignore that, and talk about dreams and such... when you dream, you still have an image in your mind. An image. And if her visions are akin to dreams, then she would have had imagery in her mind, because, you know, "I saw" etc and she may have been wrong about one of the finer details, when the heart stopped beating, but she was objectively right about literally everything else, including, and this can't be stressed enough, Seeing him in that operating theatre, and not in the woods, and no matter how you try to spin it, you are never going to get past that fact. Even if it is her "interpreting" her mind interpreted her visual vision, of him on that table, not a tree trunk. And she has always been right in the about the larger picture, and she was right this time too, and not about an unrelated event some 30 or so years in the future.
Thank you, Addie. Many of us felt the same way when we saw Logan. I didn't catch at the time that he died with his heart in his hand (being his daughter). Thank you so much for that, and for sharing this with us.
Masterpiece. So tragic and so beautiful and still retains what the Xmen has always been about with the kids. My favorite comic book movie. Great reaction! ❤
Something you may or may not have missed is that after Charles has the seizure at the casino the radio basically tells us Charles did this before which killed the other X-Men. Logan of course survived this because of his healing most likely
I loved how the included X-Men comics into the films. These were all custom designed comics created by Marvel’s chief creative officer Joe Quesada and artist Dan Panosian after the director came to the with the idea after loving how Captain America: The First Avenger showcased Captain America comics in that film. If you look at the comics instead of being created by Marvel they're instead created by the "X-Men Comics Group" with the faces of all the X-Men on the top left instead of Spider-Man. The visual design of the comics were inspired by the X-Men comics of the 1980s so this could hint at these comics being around since the X-Men became well known. I do highly recommend looking these comics up as they're really cool and there's even a comic cover with Magneto on it. Something I also loved is the outfits we see in the comic and the fact each Mutant has their own unique outfit to suit their personality something the live action films lacked. So in my head canon the X-Men actually wore these outfits out on missions we just never saw it. Also should note that these are original takes on the outfits as well so the comics do put their own spin on everything and they look great.
I actually prefer the X-uniforms having the same black and yellow color scheme like in the Ultimate comics and the Grant Morrison run. It's what gives them their own identity separate from the Avengers.
I just love the final section when the clone comes in it's like a younger lion challenging the older weaker alpha lion, always been survival of the fittest, but damn when Laura called him Daddy I just go and Wolverine saying so that's what it feels like, cracking film
This movie told a very emotional tale with characters you came to know & love over a long period of time, and it represented the best of what the fandom has to offer. The "M" rating here made all the difference, as Wolverine was always a mature character in the comics, but toned down for a more mass audiences approval in standard comic book films. One of the best super hero movies ever put to film and an amazing send off for one of it's best characters as well. For sure one of my top 5 in the genre, and depending on the day, it could easily be my #1.
It's kind of sad that even though we've stopped the future we see in Days of Future Past we still ended up with a pretty dark and depressing future for Mutants and Humanity in this alternate timeline starting with First Class and ending with Logan. It's very much like the message Days of Future Past from the comics where it ends on the note that we changed the future but it's still unknown how everything will end. Pretty much revealing that the future could still happen if Mutant and Human relations ever broke down.
Wolverine has been my favorite mutant since I was very young. When I very first saw Hugh Jackman I was like THERE HE IS! Everyone agreed and after all these years still true. I saw this alone on opening night and I was crying so hard that I had to sit in the hallway on the way out of the theatre. It was just devestating and beautiful and a western in the truest form.
“I see you on your back, there’s blood everywhere. You’re holding your own heart in your hand.” Is what Yukio tells Logan how he’ll die in The Wolverine. It’s some great foreshadowing.
I understand how you feel, seeing favorite characters pass away. But remember, death is part of the human condition. Every body finally dies, and it's what makes the time we have on Earth precious. Your emotional reaction is a testament to the powerful connection you have with these characters, and that's great.
This is by far my favorite X-men movie..😢 When Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman viewed this movie together they both cried and they said that this would be their final time playing these characters. Maybe... Yes Addie Logan did die with his heart in his hand 😭 I'm still crying to.... Thank you for sharing your reaction 😭
Addie, did you ever think a Marvel, let alone a superhero movie, could make you feel this way? And Scorcese said that superhero movies aren't real movies... pff! This was beautifully made and shot! One of the best!
I'm so glad you commented on how heart breaking it is watching Charles suffer through Alzheimer's. I'm curious as to why you're the only reactor I've seen comment on that though.
My dad looks a kittle like Patrick Stewart and is 80, and I love Wolverine and Professor X so this movie is basically James Mangold attempting to harvest as many tears from me as possible. Edit: also, I have a stepdaughter who I adore who I first met when she was 12 so that's another way this movie just hits me right in the heart.
The line from The Wolverine about him dying with his heart in his hand could technically be a reference to this movie. It's not confirmed anywhere but I like to think it is.
Yeah this movie really struck you in the feelings! I really like this movie a lot! Yukio was right about Wolverine’s future too and I’m happy your friend pointed that out to you after this reaction! Even when I realized that after seeing Logan it got me more! I also heard that the head of Marvel Studios like Wolverine’s ending so much he decided to replicate it for Tony Stark’s ending in Avengers: Endgame.
@@mechanomics2649 Yes, they are even archetypically different. Tony becomes a christ-like figure with self sacrifice in contrast to Thanos' sacrifice of others. Wolverine becomes aware and his awareness/love represented by his daughter kills his unconscious (unconscious primal instincts, aggression, violence, etc) shadow.
Still in my top 3 cbm of all time, fairly high in my top movies of all time list too. The first trailer for this movie still hits so damn hard, the one with Johnny Cash music.
This movie is a masterpiece. It always gets me as so tragic. Not just the story on it's own (which is), but the X-men films as a whole, always had things in the world being terrible with the anti-mutant bigotry and such, but they were also about hope for a better future. But now we get to the future and things are just as bad if not worse. Xaviers dream, never comes to fruition.
Makes you think back to The Wolverine (2nd solo film) when Yukio said she had seen his death. He dies with his heart in his hands. Laura is holding Logan's hand when he dies. This film tears me up every single time I see it, and I was a mess in the cinema when it came out. Thanks Addie for sharing.
It is wild how most of the xmen movies imo are like fine-to-good, but then Logan comes around and is one of the greatest CBM ever. Top three without a doubt
This movie perfectly shows why Logan tends to be a loner: the people around him, and the people he cares about, typically suffer instead of him, because of his rough life.
I remember watching this in theaters with my sister when it came out. As soon as Logan put on the reading glasses I leaned over to my sister and said "Why does he look like Grandpa?" because he looked exactly like my grandfather. It made it really hard to watch the later scenes. Honestly though, this movie was a masterpiece, and is exactly what a Wolverine movie NEEDED to be.
This movie was so heavy - it knocks you down and just keeps you there showing you just how low it can drag you. Everything hurt from start to finish but damn if it wasnt a masterpiece.
Charles, the man who put everything on the line for people time and time again, sacrifices he’s had to make, all he’s lost and had to live with. All the good he did for the world, just to be buried in a unmarked grave on the side of road 😔
Easily the best movie in the "X-Men" franchise and a WONDERFUL sendoff to Wolverine and Xavier. In particular, Dafne Keen as Laura was SPECTACULAR. It was brutal, but it's a Wolverine movie, so that comes with the territory. The character interactions were just top notch.
James Mangold who directed this will also be making a one off Star Wars film about the creation and discovery of the Force, then he'll move over to DC to direct a gothic horror adaption of Swamp Thing, I can't wait.
Professor X accidentally killed all the xmen in a seizure. In the comics it was mysterio tricking Logan into seeing all the xmen as ex enemies. And he killed them all. But they changed the story for the movie.
There is no happy ending for the X-Men. In this movie, Charles killed all of them with his seizures. In the comics, Logan is mind-controlled into killing everyone in the mansion, thinking they are all villains.
Thanks, Addie, for sharing your reaction to this stressful, but well made movie. Patrick Stewart(Charles Xavier, Professor X) starred in another excellent movie that addressed the subject of declining faculties: "Safe House," from 1998(not the one from 2012).
While we have to acknowledge that the previous films gave us a great deal of context, this remains my absolute favourite X-Men movie. It’s so well done on every level including, and perhaps especially, the tragedy of it all. This was the masterpiece of the Fox X-Men franchise.
You had me cracking up when you said "is she a little Wolverine" lmao. But my god this movie gets me everytime. Crying and more crying. Thank God we get Wolverine back in Deadpool 3.
Yes, the foreshadowing from The Wolverine was perfectly executed here. Director James Mangold had it all planned out, too. For me, Sir Pat's turn as Charles here is far and away his best work in the entire franchise. It's kinda easy to play the slightly younger Charles that we see him play in every other movie, one who's in perfect health, has full command of all his faculties etc, but to play hi so old, so broken, so weak, and do it so well is a real testament to his talent. Similarly for Hugh as Wolverine here. He, too, is old and broken/breaking, and pretty well beaten down, and it's a HUGE change from the Wolverine we see in everything else...it's such a perfect chronological ending to not only Charles and Logan's stories and lives, but to the movie X-Men as a whole. There's no great fanfare, no on-screen battle that, conveniently or otherwise, wipes them all out, everything just kind of fades out with a whimper rather than going out with a bang. Probably the most beautiful, powerful, understated comic book movies ever made. At least, from those based on superhero comics...
Dafne Keen the phenomenal young actress who played Laura, is the daughter of the Spanish Actress María Fernández Ache and the British Actor Will Keen.. both Dafne and Hugh Jackman improvised many of their scenes. The scene When they are having their fierce argument in the car was one of them.. afterwards Hugh was a little uncomfortable about speaking to a child in that way even in a movie scene and went up to Dafne’s mother Maria who was chaperoning her on the film to ask if Dafne was okay, Maria said. “Don’t worry about it, in that last scene she just called you a c*nt in Spanish twice”
The scene when he keeps telling Charles “It wasn’t me, it wasn’t me”, Always kills me. He was terrified that Charles would die thinking that Logan had stabbed him.
that did it for me in the cinema. The levels of ugly crying lol
When Logan said "So this is what it feels like" That was very heartbreaking 💔.
He could finally die 🥲

Incoming 20 billion comments about what Yukio said 🙄 fucking capeshit nerds
I watched this movie in the theater when it came out with my brother and yeah it was traumatic to see especially being a lifelong fan of wolverine
And I was tearing up with you on this watch through.
that callback was crushing
Fun fact: when shooting the forest scene for the first time, Dafne Keen was having so much fun that she started grinning and giggling as she was slashing people and forgot to stick to the choreography. This gave Hugh Jackman such a cuteness overload that he picked Dafne up and hugged her firmly.
That's creepy.
Both parties give me the creeps majorly in this anecdote.
@@mss11235 your thoughts are..
@@thomasanderson2384 A kid thinking performing violent manslaughter is not potentially problematic at that age? A man thinking that picking up a child actor he is working with and hugging them is not weird? If High Jackman looked like the Elephant Man, people would readily realize my point.
Lastly, people like you in denial of the harsh realities of life because you are obsessed by the "cuteness overload 😭" simply fcking perpetuate the seeming complacency about the evil around us.
Screw you, by the way. I have never hurt anyone: my cold ruthlessness that denies myself "normal" interactions with lot like you is a disciplined yet painfully often misunderstood mindset I have adopted in order to protect the people I care about from violence and dangerousness.
@@mss11235 Honestly, I think it's your thoughts on the matter are the bigger issue. The kid wasn't performing violent manslaughter. She was acting out a well-rehearsed scene and got a case of the sillies. If you've ever been around children, you should know that happens. A lot.
Humans are physical beings. Sure, the current mindset is to believe that any contact with another person is a "bad touch," but that's BS. Yes, assault is bad. Assault is creepy. The problem is, recent generations have ignored the fact that physical contact incorporates so much more than assault. It could be rooted in compassion, support (both physical and emotional), affection, comradery, etc. All of these interactions are "intimate", but not in the way you seem to wish to imagine them.
So yes, the problem is with your thinking. You have twisted the story of a nice moment between two people into something evil. And that's sad.
I think the hardest part of this movie was how real it was. Take away the mutant powers and the cloning and conspiracies and what not and you're left with two very real and painful stories. The story of watching your heros falter and fall from their heights and the story of family, good and bad.
That's exactly how I felt after watching in the theater and I think it actually elevates it above the source material. Old Man Logan was a great comic book story but this film took it to another whole level. It's a perfect example of how people like Martin Scorsese are completely wrong in their notion that comic book movies are not "cinema".
@@gregmcdonald8962 you're absolutely right
@@QuantumJuicE3 just saw your reply. Thanks!🍻
The movie is heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. Wolverine sacrificed himself so the future of the x men could live on. Out with the old and in with the new.
heroes
Patrick Stewart deserved an Oscar for this performance. Even those of us who read the Old Man Logan books were not prepared for just how human this story is.
Dafne Keen crushed this role pretty hard. For a role that required both quiet subtlety and unbridled rage (and really nothing in between) I thought she sold it brilliantly. It's even more impressive considering the other powerful performances on screen along side her in this film.
When the Professor asks if she reminds Logan of anyone, my first thought was "yeah, she kinda looks like Jean" which is odd because we know she's not Jean's daughter.
I really hope she reprises the role at some point. If not that's a seriously wasted opportunity.
Dafne is a fantastic actor. She is phenomenal in the “his dark materials” TV series
Yukio's vision from the wolverine came true. "Your lying on your back...there's blood everywhere...your holding your heart in your hand..." makes me sad every time 😢
The guy who directed Logan also directed the wolverine and he made sure Yukio would be right
She was also partially wrong, she said "and you're in a room like this" where Logan died is no where near similar to this lol
@@Hybredthis is a stretch but maybe she meant like a female next to him? The same position rather than the room itself?
@@Hybredso they’re not in a room, and ur gona deny the connection? His heart in his hand is his daughter…
@@Hybredyeah you're right thanks for saying this! Now ppl r hanging up on u for pointing this out but it's true, I also don't even know if this was confirmed to be Yukios vision, pretty sure it's just a widely accepted fan theory
It is so easy to focus on the tragedy of Logan. What happened to Charles though is something I dont think is often enough mentioned. Charles knew everyone's thoughts. The darkest thoughts that would be most secret he knew them. Still he believed in the potential good of all humans and mutants. To have his ability and not be jaded is incredibly inspiring. Where did that lead... degenerative brain disease causing so much harm to those he promised to protect.
Even through all that, I think most tear jerking part was him telling Laura, dont be what they made you, and understanding the feeling of family. Logan searched his whole for a place to truly belong. Too bad he didnt find it till the very end.
Charles sought penance. Mutants didn't just disappear on their own.
"I now know why you run."
Oof... that line hit hard. 😢
@@bobriemersmano, Sinister wiped them out with modified high fructose corn syrup.
To be fair, he had to actually focus on someone's mind to read it and his whole thing is ethical use of powers so he probably only read minds when he needed to.
I love that they added the aspect of his Adamantium actually killing him and slowing his healing factor. Which if i remember right, it has always been slowing his healing factor because it has been fighting the effects of metal poisioning since they put it in him. It's taken this long for it to wear him down.
Marvel did a whole arc based on the adamantium slowing his healing factor back in about '93 when Magneto ripped it all out of him and he ended up going kind of super-feral with almost-instant healing, so it was definitely nice to see that alluded to here
@@DavidGowers I remember it being an issue at least once before that ('88, maybe). Wolverine and Rogue were in Genosha and had their powers nullified. Wolverine was slowly dying because his healing factor normally helped offset the adamantium in his system. They expanded on that dramatically when Magneto ripped the adamantium out a few years later. Not my favorite issue(s) nor my favorite run of "Uncanny X-Men," but it had its moments.
His healing power was always fighting the Adamantium poisoning but the mutant suppressant that was put into corn crops and in corn syrup by Richard E Grant's character meant that Logan's healing wasn't strong enough to overpower the Adamantium poisoning anymore.
The reason that his regenerative healing factor is very weak which is slowing his healing, aging a bit rapidly, and weak to protect against metal poison of adamantium, is because it protected him against an unknown virus that destroyed the mutant population but the virus severely damaged it and that is why it is happening to him.
It was the mutant poison that diminished his regeneration ability that allowed the adamantium to kill him. It also allowed him to get drunk which he couldn't do before...
"The Westchester incident" that they mention, takes place a years before this movie. Charles had his first seizure and accidentally killed everyone of his students and several of the X-men at the academy and also injured a further 600 people. Charles mind was declared a weapon of mass destruction by the goverment, which is why they fled to Mexico and Logan wants to buy a boat for them.
I find it very interesting to combine someone with Charles amazing powers with dementia and seziures. We mostly see the X-men in their prime, to watch their decline to common "human" conditions is very facinating, but also extremly serious when Charles litterally has the capablity to kill every single human on the planet.
So sad that he dies after such a long time of panic and dissorientation "This was the most perfect night i had in a long time"
Hearing Laura say “Daddy…” will always destroy my heart. Every single time.
As someone who took care of an aging relative that suffered from several illnesses including dementia, Charles's decline felt all too real to me. Incredible movie.
reminds me of my grandfather and his dementia when i took care of him
I wasn't old enough to care for my grandfather in any significant way but this impacts me as well. He was never good with children and I was never very attached to him, but seeing him age and grow less lucid overtime was painful, dementia is one hell of a condition.
Bro, I swear the most insane thing about this movie was when they literally shot a HARPOON into a 10 YEAR OLD'S Chest. I think it's because at that point, we already know that she has wolverines abilities, but I can't believe most reactors are so chill at that moment. I had the same reaction as addie 😂😂
Also she was literally the perfect casting for Logans daughter imo
Not just the movie, but that trailer with Johnny Cash singing Hurt is just amazing too.
“When The Man Comes Around” at the end credits tore me to shreds
As someone who saw this in the theaters, I can tell you it was filled with grown men bawling our eyes out
The Wolverine clone was originally supposed to be Sabertooth but it was changed, obviously. There was also a mention and nod to it earlier in the movie that tigers are extinct.
All the stuff with Charles is so heartbreaking. Even just hearing him swear brings back memories of my Granddad and how he deteriorated from dementia. He was always so kind and gentle and wouldn't dream of swearing around his grandkids. But once his mind started to go he'd have these bizarre moments of aggression. It was like someone else had taken over.
Logan is one of my absolute favorite movies period. The action scenes are brutal and well-choreographed, the dialogue and story are incredible, the acting is masterful in all three of the leading characters, which is really saying something considering one of them was a child, and the emotion impact is very tangible. It's one of very few movies that has actually made me cry and I'm proud to include this among those ranks. Masterpiece of a film.
This movie is depressing from start to end, and by the end of it, everything we know is just gone. Logan after living for 200 years and witnessing so much, is finally resting in peace.
So, in this movie the X-Men died because of an accident involving Charles losing control due to his degenerative brain desease.
The way Logan was portayed in the movie though has a lot of similarities (probably inspired by) and alternative reality shown in the comic "Old man Logan", in which he himself killed the other x-men while under an illusion. He thought their home was being invaded by a bunch of villains and went berzerk on them but was in fact attacking the other X-men.
Logan has around 200yo in this movie. He have seen many wars, lost a lot of dear people and suffered A LOT.
That's one of the thing that makes that character so deep.
I think it's the only movie that shows us the famous Berserker Rage of Wolverine even if he was on juice.
I love that movie so much, thx for the vid miss 🤘
He's well over 200 years old, actually. He was born in the 1800's.
@alberach ....1800 + 200 = 2000
And we don't know when in the 1800s he was born. So I was pretty much accurate enough pal 😉
I've said "around 200yo" so in the first x-men movie, he was "almost 200yo" and in Logan "a lil more than 200yo.
The best part about this movie was the chemistry between Logan and Charles just like a father son relation ❤
Many people have so many different favorite X-Men films... but most agree this is the BEST one. So well made, acted and impactful.
Amen!!! 🫵🏻
Yeah, Logan definitely stands out from the pack. Feels like you're in the real world that those other movies were based on. Especially the part where he flips through the comic "Maybe a quarter of it happened..."
This is definitely one of those movies that pulls at a man's instinctive emotions, it's why it was such a hit I think. Between Logan dealing with time finally catching up to him, losing all of his close friends and loved ones, taking care of an elderly father figure. And then having to come to terms with being a father himself. I can see why some are annoyed Wolverine will be in the next Deadpool movie.
It's funny that Addie didn't seem to recognize the "Alkali-Transigen" on the business card. Alkali Lake is where the Weapon X program was held. It's where Logan got the adamantium grafted to his bones. Logan instantly recognized it, and he knew that the Weapon X program was still operating and his past was once again coming back to haunt him.
Yukio's premonition of Logan's death in The Wolverine was sadly accurate, he was holding his heart in his hand😢
Hey Addie love your reactions! Something you may have missed is when Logan and Charles were driving in the car and on the radio it was talking about an event that killed mutants and injured many, that was referring to Charles.. He accidentally killed a bunch of the X-Men while he had a seizure.
I SO appreciate that they left that as kind of a footnote in the movie, rather than using it as some kind of big "Charles bad!" plot point, while at the same time using it as something of an explanation of why he's as broken as he is aside from the seizures.
They did that masterfully. Charles' mental power through the degenerative state was too great. He of course targeted mutants, and took out the whole school in one go. Every X men that had a strong connection to Charles was brain fried. The few that survived could not function normally again. Charles did take out lots of bad mutants also.
@@zettkusanagi6322 "bad" is always up for interpretation in X-men. You know what would have happened if Magneto had won, even once? Not this. The entire world state is a sign of Charles' failure. So maybe, just maybe, Magneto was right.
@@DavidGowers They did a great job. I mean, it's a realistic movie. So the question of what would happen if the most powerful psionic in the world slipped into dementia is a real one.
@@zettkusanagi6322 but wasnt it sinister that got in charles head and made him get in wolverines head that made him kill other mutants, thats why he was spiraling also
This movie is hitting so hard for me. I lost my dad a few months ago, he had dementia too, and seeing your hero like that hurts way more than anything I've gone through, emotionally or physically, cos I at least can understand and be myself in the best and worst of times. I swear to god I'd rather have any other illness than a mental one.
One of the most brilliant and beautiful moments in any film is when Logan picks up and carries Laura the same way he was carrying Professor X. Setting down one responsibility and immediately picking up the next.
Not only a great comic book movie, but actually one of the best movies ever made.
Fun Fact: When he was cast in the first X-Men film, Hugh Jackman studied the rural Albertan accent and Cal Dodd`s vocal performance as Wolverine in "X-Men:The Animated Series"(George Buza who voiced Beast was the Albertan truck driver dropping off Marie/Rogue at Laughlan County in the first film.)
This was filmed primarily near Abq, NM... ive hiked near where Logan is buried in the Sandia Mountains. Its actually a ranchers property, and the studio got sued for using some of their land in the movie without consent.
Addie is so speechless towards the end she’s doing the best impersonation of Lex Luther from Batman V Superman! 😆
Yukio's vision from The Wolverine actually did come true. Logan would die lying on his back. Bleeding all over. With his heart in his hand. Laura is his heart.😢💔
....you clearly didn't watch the whole video lol
@hulkslayer626 No. But I watched both the 2013 Wolverine movie and this movie beforehand. In the 2013 movie, Yukio had a vision that Logan would die in the way described in my first comment. In this movie, Logan did die in the way Yukio said he would. Laura symbolically is Logan's heart. If you watch both movies, then you will be able to pick up on these details and understand the symbolism behind it all.
@@Ironmew05 or, if you watch her whole reaction, you will hear say it herself 😉
@@hulkslayer626 Oh. My bad.
I hear a lot of people claim this about Yukio's vision coming true, but in context Yukio clearly says "in a room like this" like an operating theatre, and it's clearly referring to the moment in that same film where he briefly dies before resuscitating. It's a cute idea, but it's definitely fans cherry-picking part of the prophesy to try and make this ending more "perfect"
Logan, like Nolan's Dark Knight, is one of those films that transcends its genre as a truly great film.
"Oh... so this is what it's like..." Breaks me every. Damn. Time.
So many parts of this movie gets me but when you hear Laura in her little voice call Logan Daddy as he dies was so sad, great reaction as always Addie
If you remember back to that wolverine movie that was in Japan, that chick that could see how people die, she told Logan she saw him laying on his back, blood everywhere, holding his heart in his hand...she was right. Logan was holding Laura's hand, his heart ♥ 😥. This is such a powerful movie and yes I've been waiting for you to react to it. Great reaction.
Gotta admit though, Laura is such a badass isn't she?
OK I posted this before finishing the very end of your reaction 😅
"It's not beating" Sorry to break it to you, but that was never what she saw in the future. Everyone focuses on the first time she mentions her vision in the movie (missing the part where his heart is not beating) because there you can draw a parallel, but later in The Wolverine she is much more specific "I saw you die in a Room like this, with your heart in your hand" She didn't see him dying in the woods holding another person's hands, she literally saw him on that operating table. Where he dies, albeit briefly, after having having his actual heart in his hand.
@@GARYHODGKINSON Obviously from a writing perspective these two things are unrelated and people just draw parallels between the two. However, for head canon purposes, to counter poopooers trying to spoil the fun, you can just say that we don't know how she experienced the "visions". After all, she misinterpreted what she saw in The Wolverine. Logan might just be an anomaly that tricked her powers. Because they are two times where his heart stops she only "visually" associated with the one she was most familiar with, but perceived both events. Checkmate, party pooper.
@@Barnuses "I Saw." sorry to continue to be a party pooper, but those words are the true checkmate because they tell you exactly how she experiences her visions... visually. She Saw him in that operating theatre, she didn't feel him there, she didn't hear a voice telling her about a heart, she literally saw him. Every single time she talks about her visions, she is talking about visually seeing something. And she didn't see him in the woods, she saw him in an operating theatre, didn't see him holding the hand of a grieving child, she saw him holding his own physical heart, which stopped beating. If Laura is a heart that has stopped beating, then in Laura would have to be dead in the vision too. She didn't "misinterpret" what she had seen, because it played out exactly as she saw it. He died. But his mutation returned him to life. A person, even if CPR brings them back, whose heart has stopped beating, is dead. Yukio only sees death in her visions, she doesn't see life, even if it comes from someone who was dead moments ago. Hundreds of people die every year, maybe even every day, who don't remain dead. So, let's summarise... you have a head canon, and to defend your head canon, you invent an aspect of her power where she perceives things as well as seeing them, you invent the notion that her powers can be "tricked" despite her literally saying that she is always right, you invent the notion that we can't know how she experiences her visions, despite her saying "But it's not like I get a complete picture, more like looking through a keyhole" and from that, you feel you can declare checkmate? You are welcome to your head canon, but when all of the facts are against you, and all you have is more things that you have made up, then I'm sorry, but your head canon is objectively wrong.
@@GARYHODGKINSON "I saw" could be just as metaphorical as "complete picture" or "looking through a keyhole." How could she see his heart in his hand if it's inside of his body? It would be too dark and cramped to make out anything from the inside. Much less if it was still beating. From the outside his hand could be holding anything. And she didn't say she saw it on a display screen. Even if she did, the machine that was showing it was moved before he even got to his heart and he had to feel for the device attached to his heart. He also pulled the device out before his heart stopped beating. We know this because the bed was monitoring his heart and flatlined after he pulled out the device. So his hand wasn't even inside of his chest when he "died." So either she was wrong, or she interpreted the situation differently than it actually played out. Unless she considered the device that was attached to his heart as his actual heart, because it stopped functioning in his hand thus "wasn't beating" when he "died". But that would just be an interpretation.
They never show us how she perceives her future knowledge. Just because she chose the word "see" doesn't mean it's accurate. You "see" things in your dreams, but you aren't using your eyes. If her visions are being funneled through her visual cortex and she interprets them as images, that doesn't mean her brain is accurately translating what is being relayed to her through her powers. Because she was wrong about his heart being in his hand when it wasn't beating.
@@Barnuses Well this is just grasping at straws "could be just as metaphorical" well, first you need to demonstrate that any of it is metaphorical. You haven't. You ask how she could see his heart, then insist that because she doesn't specifically say that she could see the display screen, that somehow negates that she saw the very room, in which that screen is placed. Oh but the machine was moved.... but what about the other 6 screens? It wasn't just one you know. In fact, considering how many screens there were, it's actually highly unlikely that she wouldn't have seen one, when peering through the keyhole. Visually. Now you do get one thing right, he does flatline after his hand came away from his heart, but it's seconds apart. Oh but wait, ECG monitors can have anything up to a five second delay, soooooo.... www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/cir.0b013e31826ae459 But what could she have seen (yes, seen) in her vision? She sees him rummaging around in his chest, sees his hand on his heart, on the screen, sees him pull something out of his chest, then sees him flatlining. Did she even know about the probe when she had the visual vision? And lastly, yes she uses visual terms to describe her visions, every single time, including actually describing what it the experience is like, but as you choose to ignore that, and talk about dreams and such... when you dream, you still have an image in your mind. An image. And if her visions are akin to dreams, then she would have had imagery in her mind, because, you know, "I saw" etc and she may have been wrong about one of the finer details, when the heart stopped beating, but she was objectively right about literally everything else, including, and this can't be stressed enough, Seeing him in that operating theatre, and not in the woods, and no matter how you try to spin it, you are never going to get past that fact. Even if it is her "interpreting" her mind interpreted her visual vision, of him on that table, not a tree trunk. And she has always been right in the about the larger picture, and she was right this time too, and not about an unrelated event some 30 or so years in the future.
I love that they made this one rated R. Such a great film.
Apparently Hugh Jackman took a pay cut in order to keep the budget down so that the studio would let them make this with an R rating.
Thank Ryan Reynolds and Deadpool for that, for proving that an R rated movie could still be profitable.
@@JakkFrost1 yep and that's what has me excited about Kraven the hunter
Thank you, Addie. Many of us felt the same way when we saw Logan. I didn't catch at the time that he died with his heart in his hand (being his daughter). Thank you so much for that, and for sharing this with us.
I always loose it when she says "daddy". Such a heartbreaking movie
If you remember in "The Wolverine", Yukio said that her vision was Logan dying while holding his heart in his hand. He was holding Laura's hand.
Dafne is phenomenal in this.
Masterpiece. So tragic and so beautiful and still retains what the Xmen has always been about with the kids. My favorite comic book movie. Great reaction! ❤
26:35 "Beware the light💀"
What an absolute legend.
Something you may or may not have missed is that after Charles has the seizure at the casino the radio basically tells us Charles did this before which killed the other X-Men.
Logan of course survived this because of his healing most likely
Heartbreaking. Charles's story just as much as Logan's. Dafne Keen and Sir Pat Stew were standouts in this.
I loved how the included X-Men comics into the films. These were all custom designed comics created by Marvel’s chief creative officer Joe Quesada and artist Dan Panosian after the director came to the with the idea after loving how Captain America: The First Avenger showcased Captain America comics in that film. If you look at the comics instead of being created by Marvel they're instead created by the "X-Men Comics Group" with the faces of all the X-Men on the top left instead of Spider-Man. The visual design of the comics were inspired by the X-Men comics of the 1980s so this could hint at these comics being around since the X-Men became well known. I do highly recommend looking these comics up as they're really cool and there's even a comic cover with Magneto on it.
Something I also loved is the outfits we see in the comic and the fact each Mutant has their own unique outfit to suit their personality something the live action films lacked. So in my head canon the X-Men actually wore these outfits out on missions we just never saw it. Also should note that these are original takes on the outfits as well so the comics do put their own spin on everything and they look great.
I actually prefer the X-uniforms having the same black and yellow color scheme like in the Ultimate comics and the Grant Morrison run. It's what gives them their own identity separate from the Avengers.
I just love the final section when the clone comes in it's like a younger lion challenging the older weaker alpha lion, always been survival of the fittest, but damn when Laura called him Daddy I just go and Wolverine saying so that's what it feels like, cracking film
This movie told a very emotional tale with characters you came to know & love over a long period of time, and it represented the best of what the fandom has to offer. The "M" rating here made all the difference, as Wolverine was always a mature character in the comics, but toned down for a more mass audiences approval in standard comic book films. One of the best super hero movies ever put to film and an amazing send off for one of it's best characters as well. For sure one of my top 5 in the genre, and depending on the day, it could easily be my #1.
This my favorite movie of all time. Waited 17 years for him to go that hard
I would be down to watch Dafne Keen play Laura again in a canon X-23 movie.
It's kind of sad that even though we've stopped the future we see in Days of Future Past we still ended up with a pretty dark and depressing future for Mutants and Humanity in this alternate timeline starting with First Class and ending with Logan. It's very much like the message Days of Future Past from the comics where it ends on the note that we changed the future but it's still unknown how everything will end. Pretty much revealing that the future could still happen if Mutant and Human relations ever broke down.
I mean, the survival of Laura and her friends means that mutants will prevail.
@@vetarlittorf1807 i didn't know the lore, but didn't the doctor mixed chemicals on everyday necessities that cancels out the x genes?
@@doriejames7650 No, that was before the clones were successfully created.
@@vetarlittorf1807 ohh. Okay
In the end, Logan died covered in his own blood and holding his own heart in his hands, just as Yukio prophesised.
Wolverine has been my favorite mutant since I was very young. When I very first saw Hugh Jackman I was like THERE HE IS! Everyone agreed and after all these years still true. I saw this alone on opening night and I was crying so hard that I had to sit in the hallway on the way out of the theatre. It was just devestating and beautiful and a western in the truest form.
This was a great one, like some kind of Greek tragedy or something, plus Jackman always brings his A-game
Not only is this one of the best superhero movies, but its my top 5 favorite movies ever. Logan was just phenomenal. Its so damn good.
“I see you on your back, there’s blood everywhere. You’re holding your own heart in your hand.” Is what Yukio tells Logan how he’ll die in The Wolverine. It’s some great foreshadowing.
I understand how you feel, seeing favorite characters pass away. But remember, death is part of the human condition. Every body finally dies, and it's what makes the time we have on Earth precious. Your emotional reaction is a testament to the powerful connection you have with these characters, and that's great.
This is by far my favorite X-men movie..😢
When Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman viewed this movie together they both cried and they said that this would be their final time playing these characters. Maybe...
Yes Addie Logan did die with his heart in his hand 😭
I'm still crying to....
Thank you for sharing your reaction 😭
Addie, did you ever think a Marvel, let alone a superhero movie, could make you feel this way?
And Scorcese said that superhero movies aren't real movies... pff!
This was beautifully made and shot! One of the best!
Mr Scorsese is right though. Majority are bad and rushed garbage.
@@CYB3R2K That's not what Scorsese said.
I'm so glad you commented on how heart breaking it is watching Charles suffer through Alzheimer's. I'm curious as to why you're the only reactor I've seen comment on that though.
I can't believe you got me here crying on a Friday night and I gotta meet up with my friends in a half hour all teared up.
My dad looks a kittle like Patrick Stewart and is 80, and I love Wolverine and Professor X so this movie is basically James Mangold attempting to harvest as many tears from me as possible.
Edit: also, I have a stepdaughter who I adore who I first met when she was 12 so that's another way this movie just hits me right in the heart.
Logan is One of my Best Favourite Marvel Movie . 👌👌👍👍🙏💐
The line from The Wolverine about him dying with his heart in his hand could technically be a reference to this movie. It's not confirmed anywhere but I like to think it is.
Its not, but we all like it, so were making it so!! 🤙🏻😇 no sarcasm!! It fits, it works, it properly honors our Wolverine... vaya con dios..
Laura is also known as X23 in the comics.
Yeah this movie really struck you in the feelings! I really like this movie a lot! Yukio was right about Wolverine’s future too and I’m happy your friend pointed that out to you after this reaction! Even when I realized that after seeing Logan it got me more! I also heard that the head of Marvel Studios like Wolverine’s ending so much he decided to replicate it for Tony Stark’s ending in Avengers: Endgame.
But they didn't replicate it. Tony's death and Logan's death are completely different.
@@mechanomics2649 Yes, they are even archetypically different. Tony becomes a christ-like figure with self sacrifice in contrast to Thanos' sacrifice of others. Wolverine becomes aware and his awareness/love represented by his daughter kills his unconscious (unconscious primal instincts, aggression, violence, etc) shadow.
Still in my top 3 cbm of all time, fairly high in my top movies of all time list too.
The first trailer for this movie still hits so damn hard, the one with Johnny Cash music.
This movie is a masterpiece. It always gets me as so tragic. Not just the story on it's own (which is), but the X-men films as a whole, always had things in the world being terrible with the anti-mutant bigotry and such, but they were also about hope for a better future. But now we get to the future and things are just as bad if not worse. Xaviers dream, never comes to fruition.
Makes you think back to The Wolverine (2nd solo film) when Yukio said she had seen his death. He dies with his heart in his hands. Laura is holding Logan's hand when he dies. This film tears me up every single time I see it, and I was a mess in the cinema when it came out. Thanks Addie for sharing.
It is wild how most of the xmen movies imo are like fine-to-good, but then Logan comes around and is one of the greatest CBM ever. Top three without a doubt
This movie perfectly shows why Logan tends to be a loner: the people around him, and the people he cares about, typically suffer instead of him, because of his rough life.
I remember watching this in theaters with my sister when it came out. As soon as Logan put on the reading glasses I leaned over to my sister and said "Why does he look like Grandpa?" because he looked exactly like my grandfather. It made it really hard to watch the later scenes. Honestly though, this movie was a masterpiece, and is exactly what a Wolverine movie NEEDED to be.
Yep. You're gonna cry for this one. You could hear everybody sniffling when I saw it in the theater.
What a way to hang the cape
There's no one can replace Hugh Jackman as Wolverine
Well this breaks my heart. No matter how many times I've seen it
This movie is always such an emotional rollercoaster, and it's definitely one of my most favourite X-Men movies as well. Great reaction Addie!
Seeing sir Patrick Stewart stick his tongue out and go "aaahhh" was amazing after seeing him in star trek the X-Men series and play hamlet.
This movie was so heavy - it knocks you down and just keeps you there showing you just how low it can drag you. Everything hurt from start to finish but damn if it wasnt a masterpiece.
Charles, the man who put everything on the line for people time and time again, sacrifices he’s had to make, all he’s lost and had to live with. All the good he did for the world, just to be buried in a unmarked grave on the side of road 😔
Easily the best movie in the "X-Men" franchise and a WONDERFUL sendoff to Wolverine and Xavier. In particular, Dafne Keen as Laura was SPECTACULAR. It was brutal, but it's a Wolverine movie, so that comes with the territory. The character interactions were just top notch.
Logan. A movie that makes everyone shed a tear. Every. Single. Person.
I was waiting for you to get to this!! The whole thing was heartbreaking, wasn't it? Especially the family scene...😢
Hugh Jackman's best performances as an actor. Should have been nominated for for best actor that year . Top 5 MCU movies for me !
I love how this movie is so good but heart breaking I honestly love Logan this movie was amazing
James Mangold who directed this will also be making a one off Star Wars film about the creation and discovery of the Force, then he'll move over to DC to direct a gothic horror adaption of Swamp Thing, I can't wait.
and Dafne Keene the actress who plays Laura will be starring in a Star Wars film.
Professor X accidentally killed all the xmen in a seizure. In the comics it was mysterio tricking Logan into seeing all the xmen as ex enemies. And he killed them all. But they changed the story for the movie.
34:40 I knew that moment is gut-wrenching... 😢😢
Saw this theater. Ugly cried the moment she said daddy, til I got home. Still cry a few tears everytime I watch it.
There is no happy ending for the X-Men. In this movie, Charles killed all of them with his seizures. In the comics, Logan is mind-controlled into killing everyone in the mansion, thinking they are all villains.
My GF doesnt often saw me cry, but when we went to see Logan in cinema my dam fell entirely. I grew up with these two.
Another good reaction. And I feel for you on this one. I know how much you care for these characters. You are so Authentic.😘
Thanks, Addie, for sharing your reaction to this stressful, but well made movie. Patrick Stewart(Charles Xavier, Professor X) starred in another excellent movie that addressed the subject of declining faculties: "Safe House," from 1998(not the one from 2012).
Logan's last ride is phenomenal. Getting to see him fight like his old self, ever for only a few minutes, was fantastic.
“I see you on your back, there’s blood everywhere. You’re holding your own heart in your hand.”
-The Wolverine (2013)
While we have to acknowledge that the previous films gave us a great deal of context, this remains my absolute favourite X-Men movie.
It’s so well done on every level including, and perhaps especially, the tragedy of it all.
This was the masterpiece of the Fox X-Men franchise.
You had me cracking up when you said "is she a little Wolverine" lmao. But my god this movie gets me everytime. Crying and more crying. Thank God we get Wolverine back in Deadpool 3.
best xmen movie besides deadpool 2, by far. just epic!!!!!!
Yes, the foreshadowing from The Wolverine was perfectly executed here. Director James Mangold had it all planned out, too.
For me, Sir Pat's turn as Charles here is far and away his best work in the entire franchise. It's kinda easy to play the slightly younger Charles that we see him play in every other movie, one who's in perfect health, has full command of all his faculties etc, but to play hi so old, so broken, so weak, and do it so well is a real testament to his talent. Similarly for Hugh as Wolverine here. He, too, is old and broken/breaking, and pretty well beaten down, and it's a HUGE change from the Wolverine we see in everything else...it's such a perfect chronological ending to not only Charles and Logan's stories and lives, but to the movie X-Men as a whole. There's no great fanfare, no on-screen battle that, conveniently or otherwise, wipes them all out, everything just kind of fades out with a whimper rather than going out with a bang.
Probably the most beautiful, powerful, understated comic book movies ever made. At least, from those based on superhero comics...
