8/10. It's a 'Road' clone that's not as good as Cormac McCarthy's actual story The Road. And it's a love letter to a bygone era of the X-Men that we conveniently skipped after Days of the Future of Past. No, Apocalypse does not count, how dare you. So I'm not really sure what it is we're mourning here in this movie. I'd love to see the good old days of the X-Men so I can appreciate whatever it is I've apparently lost. Also another Wolverine movie? Bye girl.

And in someways I feel they could've gone a bit more ballsy here. I want to cut the antagonists here entirely, they're lame and there's nothing complex about them, so they bore me. That Logan x Logan fight, legit pissed me off. It's not not that kind of movie, why you fucking up my good drama moment between Logan and Xavier with your Hollywood action movie bullshit? You think the audience is bored or some shit? UGH. Not every Wolverine movie needs a Sabretooth and in a way Laura is already as risk of becoming that person. CUT IT. Saving Laura from becoming like Wolverine in his savage past is absolutely the heart of this movie, and there's so much trying to distract from that. The antagonists should have been all her friends who were likewise going feral from having been abused by the psychos who created them, and whom they all killed when they escaped. Some can can saved, some can't, and it's up to Logan to save and parent all of them, effectively becoming the next Professor X. That's good drama that doesn't shoot itself in the foot on emotionally empty action sequences. I deserve money, but I'd settle for seeing that bomb ass movie.

Look, I bitch, but only because I like it and want more. If I thought it was shit, I wouldn't care.

And I'm not interested in seeing Bryan Singer ruin Dark Phoenix again. The sooner he gets MeToo'd out of the picture and someone else tackles the golden era of the X-Men without his baggage, better.
