As I listen to the score from the movie it brings me back to last Thursday when I saw it.
Being the comic book snob that I am. I didn't go in with any expectations other than to see Wolverine one last time. Pretty much what I do with any movie that is based off of reading materials. Reading is really, really bad for you apparently! And we all know that sony especially has fucked up comic book characters in the movies.
There was no continuity of any timeline, cannon or none of that. So once again hollywood said no to those that read books and came up with a hodgepodge of things that they thought could sell to those that don't have a clue.
Hugh Jackman played Logan well. The old man that is in his twilight and ready to go. You can see the fatigue, the conclusion and everything in his acting. This is what truly linked you to the Old Man Logan comic story line. He brought Logan from the comic book pages to the screen. Maybe he channeled things from his life to pull this off or something. But he pulled it off.
There are a number of easter eggs throughout the movie. Some funny ones. And the Deadpool intro before the movie starts definitely makes you glad that you got there on time.
They truly used this movie as a jump off for introduction to new characters and movies. Some interesting ones like the new mutants and x force.
What was frustrating though was the ambiguity about what happened to all the mutants. I understand casting a hook out there but can we get a better hook?
And Professor X like you have never seen him before in this. lol Patrick Stewart definitely went out the box on this one He must have channeled some Walter from Blunt Talk in there.
This is a must go see. And it is not about the action completely. And the action is rather good. But it is about the acting here more than the action. The expressions, tones and interaction is deep in this one.
Go enjoy and see for yourself.
