The nihilism of Logan undoes the hope of Days of Future Past (spoilers)

Rating: 6/10 (5 March 2017)

Basically, this movie undoes all the goodwill from the film Days of Future Past. In DOFP, the X-Men successfully prevented the Sentinnels from coming into existence and saved mutant kind. The time line was altered and all the X-Men who died in The Last Stand were brought back to life and had a happy ending. The film Logan undoes all that with it's need to be relentlessly depressing and dystopic. We learn that Logan and Prof. X are on the decline and aging badly. The X-Men have been eradicated, as has mutant kind. So all the work the X-Men did in DOFP was for NOTHING. The film is full of bad language and very gory violence. There is no humor or fun in this movie at all. Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman are to be commended for their strong performances and building a wonderful father/son relationship in the film, but the villains are so bland and boring and forgettable. I can't even remember their names! I kind hope Cable from the Dead Pool movies comes along and time travels and restores the X-Men to greatness again. These characters deserve better than what this movie does to them.
