first off, i wanna ask is how the hell can you compare this depressing nihilistic, destructive horror film to the dark knight.....or ANY superhero film? superheros were meant to inspire good and hope...this film only destroyed those elements it completely baffles me how this destructive gore fest is being called ''the best superhero film of all time''. as for the dark knight trilogy-batman inspired people....even the criminals....logan starts off depressing and ends depressing. logan provided the perfect chance to restore the xmen and complete charels's dream by saving this dark, depressing world-yet, they chose to kill logan-and leave children trained to be weapons with no guidance, no hope to be anything more than weapons....this film spits on every xmen film before it, it spits on the xmen and the superhero gen as a whole and frankly, from what i've read-if it wasn't as graphic as it was- not very many people would've bothered....hell, one person here pretty much said this film would be nothing without the r rating! i saw the potential it had....but completely disregarded all that just to make a depressing, destructive, gore fest-frankly, i feel the r rating is what ruined this film. logan never liked killing in the past films- he would always try to avoid killing-here, he'll go out of his way to do so in the most graphic ways, logan is supposedly remorseful for the lives he's taken....yet, he kills more in this film-so i can't believe this, he also have a little girl who looks up to him.....and he continues killing! i can recall i quote from days of the future: I was your most helpless student, and you unlocked my mind. You showed me what I was, you showed me what I can be-so, in conclusion-he should've killed even less and he should've lived. so, i gives this film 2 stars-1 for the acting, another for the potential it had to be a masterpiece. i also wanna say that even though most say they can't relate to laura-i can, however. it's also worth mentioning logan has been a very influential character-taught me to never give up. another lesson completely overlooked is: just because someone stumbles and loses their path, doesn't mean they're lost forever. but, a quote that that should've been the theme here is: why do we fall? So we can learn to pick ourselves up! i also wanna say that the fact Laura is mute mostly is understandable-think about the crap she went through-would YOU be very social? one other thing i wanna address is statements regarding the children......of course they're gonna gonna be afraid.....they're abused children!
