Battle after endless battle. Countless severe physical exterior and interior trauma. Logan taxed his healing power far beyond his mutancy limitations. Who knows how old he would have lived if he hadn't devoted himself to defending those who needed his help? Centuries? Millennia?

That's another aspect of the movie's base concept that I enjoyed and another reason why I place it at the top or above all other X-Men movies. The film is the best illustration of what the X-Men comics have always been about--sacrificing themselves while protecting their own and even those who hate them. Good stuff.

I think it was different, but I've had one too many beers tonight to explain, lol. Just google the "Corn Syrup" theory for Logan!!

Yeah. I could be wrong but I rejected the corn syrup theory already because of Logan's mutancy. In my opinion, his healing ability wouldn't work just well-enough for him to survive. It would have cured him.

I could be wrong and that's okay. That little movie twist was one of the few things I didn't like. It's just another in a long line of continuity flaws running through all 20th Century Fox X-Men films. ~evil laugh~ Let's remove all the mutants with a genetically altered food ingredient. ~rolleyes~ Fox is scheming laying the groundwork for New Mutants coming next April. ~Kill the predecessors! Artificially create more mutants!~ joy joy. The studio should do their audiences a favor and free the X-Men franchise from their own idiotic grip and allow Marvel and Disney do their magic instead.

[Comic book nerd moment] Fox could have modified the Legacy Virus storyline from the X-Men titles into Logan instead of the malevolent corn syrup. The virus' origin could have been converted into something less exotic so the non-comics fan could roll with it and give the mutant community something to fight against scientifically. But no. The evil corn syrup wins! No one looks at food labels anymore.

Was the corn syrup gluten-free?

Corn Syrup or no...
Marvel...and the many flaws of the X-men movies...are still far superior to anything DC.

DC fans were praying and hoping that Wonder Woman was ok and did not suck like the other recent DC movies in some hope and belief that it could save the DC Universe in cinema. When you have to hinge your DC fandom hope on Wonder Woman...might as well give it up at that point. Even if Wonder Woman somehow shatters expectations...I think DC is too far gone for it to make much difference.

Heck even the previews of the upcoming Justice League movie...the only thing that looks remotely bad arse is Aqua Man...AQUA MAN and that only looks cool because they have Mamoa Playing him and looking different.

Haters going hate

I'll be the first one to say--and have said a number of times--that Marvel kicks DC's butt. There is a gulf, not gap but gulf, between the quality of the overall produced Marvel films above the overall DC films. The same discrepancy can be acknowledged for respective shows appearing or have appeared on television in my opinion.

However, I must say it is astounding just how diverse general opinion, not paid critics' opinion but the opinion of everyday moviegoers, has been and continues to be about the overall quality of DC films alone. That's a true statement, thanks to the internet, since anyone can search different sites--especially sites geared for moviegoers--and read individuals' impressions of DC stuff. For example, here's excerpted opinions of everyday moviegoers from Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes on Batman v Superman | Dawn of Justice:

I'm literally baffled as to how anyone can call this mess an "authentic adaptation" or "true to the source material...

With that I can say: what a mess...Jumbled, incoherent, illogical, poorly written and directed...

This movie is not for families, not for children, not even for true fans of comic books. While being a cinematic beauty, the story and motivations of the characters were straight trash...

Whoever thought a superhero version of Mean Girls would be a good idea really needs to get out of the business...

This movie attempts to refocus in the second half but never escapes the macabre and messiness established earlier. The realism and depth of Nolan's plots and characters is replaced with delusional tendencies and aggressive rage and melancholy. A disappointing, depressing movie...

I wanted to love Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. So badly. Although my expectations were low, I hoped for the best, and all I wanted to do was to have fun. I underestimated this movie. I underestimated how bad it would really be.…

Then there's:

Not sure how this movie is scoring so low. It's EXACTLY what I was hoping for. It has a slow burn start but then gets going at a lightning pace. It can hard to keep track of all the subplots and the characters psychologies are looked at by dream analysis. That is an interesting way to look at who they are deep down. However it may be too subtle for some...

TLDR; some pacing and editing issues, and not perfect, but largely unfairly criticized. The cast is great, the dialogue great- remarkable improvement on David Goyer- and the story pretty damn good. It's very much a setup movie, and that's both one of it's strongest qualities and greatest weaknesses...

I've never reviewed a film on this site before but felt that I needed to in response to the overwhelming negative reviews I read online. This is a great film. It's not an amazing film by any stretch of the imagination but it is nowhere near as bad as the critics are making out...

Dawn of Justice threads a clever story that intelligently threads together Batman and Superman's paths. It isn't your typical fun, hilarious marvel movie. But that's okay. It's visually stunning, action packed, and with twists and turns in every corner...

I'm honestly at a loss with this. The critics are eviscerating it and I'm honestly baffled as to why. I can see someone being disappointed. But the vitriol directed at this one is absurd. I guess they should have Superman make a joke when a city collapses, a la a Marvel movie...

Don't listen to the critics or haters who haven't even seen the movie but say it was bad. Fan positivity over this film is all that really matters. I thought this film was good, but it could've been better. There were definitely some plot holes and questions left unanswered...

https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/batman_v_superman_dawn_of_justice/reviews/?type=user

It's obvious who didn't like the movie and graded it poorly and those who did like the movie and graded it above average. There is a grey area of general opinion but it's not that large (despite what the Metacritic positive/mixed/negative graphic says in my opinion ). I don't know. My continual extrospection about non-paid critics thoughts of the movie is both interesting and funny at the same time I guess.

Life 7/10. How many times can you have a space movie where alien life is encountered and it becomes disastrous? Entertaining. The ending was nice.

I hated the ending, it could be seen coming from miles away. It was to Alien what The Shallows was to Jaws.

 

[Kevinicus]

Miss Sloane - 0/10. Absolute propaganda garbage.

 

[Preoccupied]

Logan. - 6
Hmmmm was ok-ish.

Then I watched

Life - 8.5
Quite cool space sci if romp

 

[MileyDancer]

Rough Night... 2/10

Stupid, stupid, movie. Way too many cliche', overused comedy bits. Only once did I semi-chuckle. It's was more like a snort. Plus, Very Bad Things did the exact same premise 100X better years ago.

 

[Ranching]

I'm sure it's been brought up, but I finally saw A Dogs Purpose. Loved it, not afraid to admit that I shed a few tears.

9.5 of 10.0

I keep telling myself the same thing no matter how often I watch this movie:

It's only 90 minutes long.

Anyone who has never watched the movie may think it is only a western about a gunfight. It is a western but not in the pure sense and it is a movie that really has very little to do with the actual gunfight. It is a film about people and human nature. It's a movie that examines what people believe in and what we think is right for us. Sure, it is post World War II 1950s western melodrama but it is an inspection of people's inner makeup from any era. Superb movie. And it's only 90 freaking minutes long!

Watching Starship Troopers(1997) again right now, for some reason I have to see it whenever it is on. A young Denise Richards is easy on the eyes......

Richards is beautiful but I re-watch the movie for Dina Meyer.

You can get a lot accomplished in 20 minutes.
