My favorite CBM is X-Men: Days of Future Past Try me

2 of my friends thought Logan sucked ass, like big time (they were also... drunk, I think?) the 3 others thought it was great, and I as well. Those in search of a mindless popcorn flick need to find something else to watch, this isn't the movie you're looking for.

Hmm, I worded it out pretty badly, I agree with people that the kids were unnecessary... but only at the end. The "quest" to go to them, to Eden, worked wonderfully well and provided great purpose to Laura, and Logan by extension. I just hoped and hoped that they would never actually find them. That the kids would all be dead or gone. Or maybe they could have found like, 1 kid, or 2 kids. I mean, what are the odds that so many of them escaped? Without parents or adults or family to take care of them, guide them? While also being hunted by a powerful organization? C'mon, they're zero to none. Laura having successfully escaped was already the miracle the story needed, adding in the other kids having escaped also diminishes from Laura's adventures, seeing as well, so many of them made it! The hope to find the other kids was a great element, but actually finding them I thought didn't work. Add to that the kids fighting at the end which contrasts greatly in tone with the rest of the movie and well, you got the ending we have. It should have stayed personal 'til the end, is what I'm saying.

I agree with everyone saying the kids were unnecessary, it detracts from the main story (bringing Laura to safety), dilutes the dramatic tension at the end of the movie between too many characters, and introduces lots of special powers... which generally means more plot holes in superhero movies as it's really hard to properly juggle lots of different powers in a scene without making a mess out of everything, which definitely happens here. The end of the movie suffers from the "let's show this guy's power" syndrome generally found in X-men/Avengers movies, which means you show the character's power... and then it's never really used in a meaningful way again. Cool moment maybe, but it doesn't serve the story really. That being said, I thought the movie was fantastic regardless, mainly because of the main trio. I mean, the writers are obviously to be credited here, but the main trio just sell their characters flawlessly, so from that point on, the rest is just gravy. I love the small surprises the movie has in store for us, sometimes cutting out of scenes at weird moments, or how a few characters had sudden things happening to them (the antagonist at first who gets shot, Charles who gets stabbed out of nowhere, among others) Dafne Keen is a revelation, although I wish her powers had been more different. Kid just rocks. And will someone please tell me how they filmed all those acrobatics? It can't possibly be Dafne herself! I mean I just saw yesterday a kid doing that kinda stuff in The Enforcer, a chinese movie featuring Jet Li, but that was a Chinese movie, and he was famous for being a black belt at 8 years old. Kids usually aren't martial arts pro in the USA, so that was most likely a double. The fight sequences at the beginning were really awesome, I want more of that in Western movies! Anyway, great movie, loved the feeling of dread you get throughout the movie, ending is a bit sloppy but nothing too important. 2nd favorite fox-marvel movie for me (behind DOFP, which is my all-time favorite superhero movie). A edit: Fuck me multi-sideways, Dafne Keen is a martial arts, tumbling, and acrobatics expert and did her own flips

Just came out of Logan, holy crap So freakin violent! Anyway... wow Still processing, but that's a hell of a superhero movie. One of the best in the genre that's for sure. 1st and 2nd acts are just pure gritty gold. Some nice acting in there, a certain newcomer just steals the show, but it's a superhero movie so... nobody won't get any recognition. Regardless, amazing, and what a trilogy this Wolverine series is. Goes from horrendously bad to holy shit is this top 5 superhero movies ever? Jesus Nice numbers btw, o/u 80M? I say Over, or at least in my heart

Seriously though, I would love if Jimmy Kimmel could host the oscars again next year. He's the best host they've had in years

Hey I just used that gif!! . . . .

That producer took it like a champ

And then when he sees what he caused

Dat sale Thank you Tele for messing up your prediction What a night

SAME WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?!?! WTF I MISSED EVERYTHING

Carrie Fisher

Tell that to Hailee Steinfeld in True Grit

Behold everyone, the Quebec accent when speaking English

I'm curious, what was that? Looks interesting

Ding-ding-ding!

Jimmy is killing it. The jabs

Hailee Steinfeld imo

when does the opening number actually start? 5h30 PST or 6?

That's my main gripe with The Edge of Seventeen -- In what universe can that girl be considered a social outcast? Certainly not this one. ... Movie's good though. (no spoilers btw, it's stated right at the beginning of the movie)
