Logan: 10 Reasons It Blows Deadpool Away

7. It's Not Constrained By Its Budget

As well-made as Deadpool is, it was clearly hamstrung somewhat by a $58 million budget that, by the genre's standards, is pretty damn low.

There's a reason why a massive chunk of the movie takes place on a highway, a lot of the talky scenes are confined to small, unassuming rooms and it all ends in a scrapyard, because these can all be cheaply, easily filmed without requiring major cost or disruption.

Also, several planned scenes, including an additional shootout, had to be cut at the last minute (hence why Deadpool forgot his guns near the end of the movie).

Largely thanks to Deadpool's success, Logan was afforded a much larger $97 million shooting budget, and there's never a single moment where it feels like the movie had to compromise creatively due to cost. This feels like the exact movie James Mangold planned to make, which is probably why it's so damn good.

Deadpool absolutely deserves recognition for paving the way for Logan, but it was also a project clearly at the mercy of Fox's coffers.
