Review of Logan (2017) by Axet — 16 Mar 2017

What is this thing 2.5 hours for?! The current crop of studio exec donkeys have no say, no balls, no brains anymore not to start putting an end to these self indulgent bloated overlong flicks! It's an across the board rampant problem.

This thing would do better at 90 minutes, and don't make the argument it has been doing just fine as is because it can always be better. These filmmakers can't even turn in a reasonable length cut anymore and are too stupid to realize we out here are sick and tired of sitting through their padded formulaic slogs.

The only people satisfied by it are pushover geeks, shills in the jackass critics herd, or those who haven't seen many movies in their lives. Those of us not in one of those three categories find the formula so very, very tired.

Little girl and tough guy. Never seen that before. R rated comic book movie as western? The novelty wears off in the first twenty minutes. This director has made good movies, most notably the excellent "Copland" (10 rating here), so he knows what he's doing.

And Jackman is a good actor and big star, so why can't he make a single good adult movie? "The Prestige" was an almost, good right up until the end. "Prisoners" sure as ---- was not! You look at the track record of big action-drama stars over the years, everyone from McQueen to Eastwood to Ford, and so many others and all made many venerable movies which hold up for all audiences.

That's how they became big stars. Now a physical look and a superhero franchise falsely give an actor that status. It's not legit. * The "Deadpool" short/scene tease playing with the feature is awful! The audience (the built-in audience that is) did not react at all.

No laughs, no clapping, nothing. Dead silence. Meaning they also thought it sucks! That character and new franchise along with its actor are a degenerate embarrassment no matter what the geek legions say.
