Thank you. Now, Reboot!

Rating: 5/10 (17 April 2017)

The moment everyone craved as arrived! No longer is there a wait for the most simultaneously realistic, R-rated and miserable superhero film of all time: Logan. Seriously, they wanted a serious Wolverine movie. We got it. Just, as always, be careful what you wish for. It's hard to rate this movie low because of the production values, acting and no-holds-barred R-rating. But, on the flipside, it's hard to recommend this movie because it's so off-the-beaten-superhero path, it's set 12 years into the future with about .0005% future proof and worst of all: it's incredibly depressing. Sadly, someone online spoiled two main points in this movie, so I knew what to expect. What I didn't see coming, though, was how sad this movie was. If you love superhero movies, hope and fun X-Men unity, look elsewhere. This movie is the equivalent of sitting in the hospice waiting room with your loved one a couple of doors down the halland just patiently waiting. BUT, I suppose everyone demanded it. Everyone wanted the Hard-R Wolverine movie. So here it is. In all its surprising simplicity. The supposedly invincible and ageless "Old-Man" Logan is feeling he's finally on his way out, but he reluctantly agrees to one more mission: take a girl to the Promised Land. Along the way, the two people he cares the most about are just as hunted as he is. While I cannot deny this was a well-made film, I doubt I will be watching this again. I usually don't wish for reboots of series, but I do now. Here. This was a perfect final X-Men filmof the Fox Age. Give it up, Fox! Also, I'm not all about Disney having supreme rule over the Earthor at least, Earth's (Real) Mightiest Heroesbut, now, hand this franchise over to capable hands. Reboot it. Call it, The Uncanny X-Men. I don't care. But, see this as a true end to that long string of foX-Men films. And remember what it's like to have fun with superhero films. Heck, even Man of Steel, Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad, combined, wasn't 10% as bleak as this. *** Final thoughts: Admittedly, I fell asleep twice in this movie. I'm not going to go as far as to say this movie is boring, but yeah, sometimes it drags, is too heavy, dark, melancholy and was way too long for such a simple plot. So, being boringisn't the only flaw.
