Welcome Renegade Nation it’s me Naughty Nicole and it’s time for another Renegade Review. And I know it’s been awhile and I promise, I’m going to try and make up for lost time. Now as many of you know, I’m a HUGE, HUGE, HUGE fan of the Marvel universe, and I’m one of those rabid fans you find camping out for Comicon in Cosplay, excitedly waiting for the newest panels. In short, Marvel would have to do something pretty f****d up for me to hate one of their movies… like… Killing Loki off, yep, that would make me lose faith in the Marvel machine, or seriously bad casting – I’m looking at you Dr. Strange, but even with occasional mis-steps, I still love me some Marvel. Guardians of the Galaxy 2 – already got tickets, new Thor, can.. not… wait… Which brings me to today’s ditty. Logan.
Now I’m one of the first ones to say I love the X-men. Old class, new class, Michael Fassbender’s a**, I’m there. But I’m a Marvel purist. I love the action, the campy one-liners, the bad guys that aren’t all that bad, good guys that aren’t that good and gimme, gimme, gimme those special effects. But Logan, well it’s a tired, worn out waste of time and the considerable talents that went into this movie. And it’s a great big middle finger to the fans because it’s so clear this is a throwaway picture aimed at milking the fan base out of their money. Color me unimpressed and a little bit pissed.
So what’s the movie about? Well, it’s about… nothing, except marking the ninth incarnation as the tired, deflated mutant, Wolverine (a.k.a. Logan). And you franchise fans who hate spoilers, well; you get a middle finger too, because in this case Marvel comics’ readers know what’s going to happen before anything actually does happen. We knew eons ago, before filming commenced, that Logan is the one where the leading man dies. But in the 2 hours and 16 minutes it takes him to break his Edward Scissorhands claws, slash up the entire cast and bites that final bullet, the non-stop action is nothing more than a rehashing of business as usual.
