10 Things Fans Don't Want To Accept About Fox's X-Men Movies

10. Logan, An Epic Masterpiece? Not Quite.

When Hugh Jackman hit the stage at Comic-Con to announce his final Wolverine movie, he teased the project with three simple words: "Old Man Logan." While James Mangold's 2017 release certainly portrayed an older version of the character, it failed to do justice to Mark Millar and Steve McNiven's comic book in every conceivable way.

Even taking that to one side, what was it about Logan that has some hailing it like some sort of comic book movie masterpiece? Sure, it was shot beautifully and there were some stellar performances, but Wolverine went out like a chump after battling a cloned version of himself. His death may have been emotional, but what a way to go.

The reveal that Professor X had killed the rest of the X-Men felt forced, and nothing about this desolate world felt earned. Even if you believe Wolverine got a fitting ending, his old teammates did not, and Logan completely invalidated X-Men: Days of Future Past's poignant ending.

So, yes, while some will argue that Logan is an epic masterpiece, the truth is that it's just a good movie, nothing more, nothing less.
