That said, video games always seem to have trouble making people laugh and... Read More .
If you want heart-stopping horror, this won't be for you. But if all you want is some high-octane action through a grungy post-apocalyptic setting, Resident Evil:The Final Chapter You can only deliver in spades.
Remember when The Badger Released to mixed reactions? For me, it was the kind of movie that was enjoyable at the time but was forgotten as soon as the credits rolled. I still don't remember anything about that movie, except that it wasn't bad..
Logan is a soft sequel that takes place in the near future and explores a different aspect of Wolverine's story:one that's more personal, intimate, and ripe for dramatic discovery. The trailer feels dark and moody, which gives me hope that this is a mature movie with deep themes worth unpacking.
