WSCIEKLOSC

Watchable. Great cinematography and music. A bit far-fetched, yet involving plot. Weird location - why is he running, for health apparently, along the busiest roads? Funny editing: he gots beaten up and is bleeding and his jacket is covered with dirt ever since, apart from one bit of a road where he's clean again, after the next turn the blood and dirt return. Even the IMDb information is in bad English. Totally amateurish.

LOGAN

Watchable. OMG, what have they done to Charles Xavier, Wolverine and all of X-Men? Is the cross turned to X all there is left?! Too disturbing for a fan. And Alzheimer's?! Hardly heroic. Dafne Keen is superb as Laura and there's a promise for a future series but not of X-Men! A shocking ending of the series. And the storyline, the characters and scenography are annoyingly run-of-the-mill, mostly imitating "Children of Men", where the original movie was poor enough, and totally unlike X-Men. Elements of the world of the future (2029) are few and far between: self-driving trucks appear in one scene. James Mangold should stay away from science-fiction. It's very well acted and the idea behing the story is a huge surprise but it's definitely the worst of the whole saga. No after-the-credits scene - don't waste your time waiting like many of us did.
