I have taken my son to see every x-men movie...cant take him to see this one because it has 45 Fbombs, 45 other 4 letter words, and tits bare naked. Great way to ruin a good father and son time by adding stuff to the movie that is completely unnecessary for plot or character development.

You guys can call me a prude if you want, I have raised my kids the right way and stand by it. We don't swear, drink or drug, and we don't watch R rated programs in my home. So something that we were really looking forward to is not going to happen. Life goes on, we will find something else to do. Movies based on comic books, which are meant for kids, shouldn't be rated R. Ridiculous.

So anyone not raising their kids exactly like you are doing it the wrong way? Lol...smdh.

I'm sure those PG-13 movies had zero cussing and alcohol use. :thumbsup:

They'll ratchet it down for FX. Still gonna hear s*** among others. As a comic book nerd in my childhood, the source material is a lot rawer. And you're misstating the target audience. Kids drag their parents back for repeat viewings but these films are made for lifelong fans that skew adult. There should be an acceptable animated version soon. :hi:

I don't know... I tend to agree that X-Men should stay in the PG-13 range. These are age old characters that IMO should be accessible to younger audiences.

I'm not sure what makes THIS movie warrant an R rating since I haven't seen it yet. We've had 7 PG-13 movies with Wolverine playing a significant role. Not once did I feel like the quality of the movie depended on how much blood, swearing, or nudity was shown. X3 and Origins stunk because they were crappy scripts. No amount of severed limbs or F-Bombs would change that (maybe some gratuitous nudity would've helped a little 😝)

Having said that I do get that there is a large group of Wolverine fans that wanted to see him at his most violent. Personally I don't think that is what defines the character but whatever, I can live with it for a movie.

It's really violent and there are a lot of F-bombs. The F-bombs did seem a little forced, but a Wolverine movie needs to be rated R. He has ****ing adamantium claws, for hell's sake.

They finally made a movie for the true fans.

I didn't take a thinly veiled shot at the way others raise their kids, and believe it or not, there are still many people who choose to raise theirs old school like we do. I meant no insult towards anyone.

The beauty of the USA is that you can choose to raise yours how you see fit, and I can raise mine how I think is right, and we are both free to do that without much interference. Unfortunately though, as the nuclear family has broken down in our society, more and more people don't give a dang about their kids and they end up in prison after damaging innocent lives. Look up the statistics for inmates versus fatherless homes etc.

I wish you the best of luck with your kids and hope they have happy, fruitful, productive lives. I will do my best to make sure my kids serve the Lord and are a blessing to the community, helping others along the way.

Interesting take coming here trashing a great movie from a "moral high ground" with you being thirsty in the WWE thread a while back

Thats hilarious. So watching girls wrestling is like watching porn to you ? Btw, i am surely a sinner and would never deny that. Ever.lol.

In your form of logic you think because I was interested in seeing pretty girls wrestle (fully clothed, btw) I am a hypocrite because I try to keep my home and my children pure?

You've got a lot to learn in life. As you get a little older you will understand. Or, you can reproduce, raise heathens with no morals and deal with the consequences that entails. Entirely up to you. The odds of your decision having any effect on me and mine are nearly zero, so other than the fact that I would like to see everyone go to Heaven instead of He ll, I really don't care how that all unfolds.

There are lots of folks like me out there who believe in the Lord, try to live a life that pleases Him, but struggle with sin. In fact, every human that has ever lived except for 1 has struggled with sin. The problem comes when hypocrites try to judge others while living in sin. I wasn't judging anyone, just lamenting the fact that I can't take my kid to see a movie that for 7 or 8 consecutive movies has been PG13, and suddenly took a very different path.

Best of luck to you and yours.

There is killing in the other X-Men movies, but you're worried about some cursing and a boob shot that was literally a second or two? What about Mystique who walks around with no clothes on in the other movies?

I'm not trying to criticize the way you raise your kids because you seem like a good father and in today's world there aren't a lot out there, but I think "sheltered" kids usually turn into the wildest adults. There's a difference in teaching your child right from wrong and completely sheltering them from what's out there in this world. It won't help them one bit when they grow up.

Just saw it and excellent! What every Wolverine movie had been missing...grit and rawness. The guy's an animal in huge percentages and most of this film captured that aspect. Missed the boob shot, so I guess it was extraneous and was expecting a Tarantino display with all the complaints about cussing...didn't see or hear anything that justified a R rating...to be honest. Remember watching Sixteen Candles in the theatre at 14 and thinking I got away with something due to the boob scene in the shower and the sex talk...think that was PG.

PG in the 80's would be PG-13 in today's standards.

Note all the animated movies that used to be G are 99% PG now?

You would think as society has become more socially liberal that the movie rating system skew the other way but it hasn't.

I finally caught a matinee today.

Logan - 4.5/5



I'm not giving this a 5-star rating for one simple reason.

In all likelihood is his last go as Logan we didn't get to see Jackman in the famous blue & yellow Wolverine outfit.

Would have been nice to have seen like a flashback memory or something? News report? I know it was probably implied that he did at some point based on the comic book and action figure of him.

It would have probably been the original brown and yellow suit since that was the one showed at the end of the alternate ending of The Wolverine.

Just read that the X-Force movie will be rated R. I think this is a great move. Kids don't even know who X-Force is. The fans get another one!

Apparently they will be introducing Cable in Deadpool 2.
