I was pleasantly surprised bu Logan. Much more gritty, darker, and not in the least bit cartoonish. A gripping and enticing film in its own right. Worth a second viewing, in my opinion. Glad to see you share similar thoughts.
The earlier X-Men lost their appeal to me in the beginning, which is why Logan almost failed to get my attention. But somewhere along the line I made a decision to watch it (perhaps I had read a great review like yours here) which enticed me. I don't recall. But I gave it a go, and didn't regret it. It's a great story, and well produced.
Great review.
I'm telling you, man. You can quote me on every single thing you said. The X-Men movies were good, but after seeing this, you may have felt a little short-changed with what you "could" have had with them.
So glad you stopped by and gave your "as always" insightful brilliance. Thank you very much, man...
