It's the best Wolverine movie...but...

Rating: 6/10 (4 March 2017)

..to me that's not setting the bar very high.
They're calling this the "Dark Knight" X-men movie. I don't see it, I see the "Leaving Las Vegas" X-men movie. Where a dying, weak, alcoholic, suicidal guy is making bad choices constantly.
It's pointed out early in the movie that "the plan" is to buy a boat and hang out on the seas in their final days. They have some money, not enough. Here's the really not thought out part...why not just sell that really expensive limo? Ohh yeah in the beginning of this movie they have a pretty nice ride! I'm in Comic book Wolverines camp. Comic book Wolverine isn't the guy you surprise, he can literally smell you coming from miles away. Apparently this power of his was tossed in SONY's blast furnace. You can argue this movie Logan was losing that power, but not X-23. I understand why She and He don't display this power in movies, the hero getting surprised is a constant, cheapo plot device.
Comic Wolverine is the guy who can stalk Daredevil and not be noticed by him. Now of course they have Caliban tracking him, but it's not like he's trying to hide from anybody anyway. Wolverines ability to surprise his opponents is actually a mainstay in the comics! What stuns me is all the obvious terrible decisions by Logan that set up conflicts that could have been avoided in this movie. In a movie where he's supposedly trying to avoid conflicts.
Choosing to park a really expensive car in a ghetto, which leads to one. Showing up at a casino with a vehicle the bad guys and authorities are looking for, all shot up and telling them to leave it out front? It's worth a laugh, but is it a sane move? It looked cool to have Peirce show up alone at their hideout, but then to leave him alive? Especially in a movie where Logan kills dozens upon dozens of people? Bull! There's so much of these bad decisions I'm wondering if they were trying to say he had brain damage.
