The CG is hilariously outdated: Wolverine's claws look like the designers used a "GET WOLVERINE CLAWS!" app. Of course "Deadpool's" katana arms look just as bad. Emma Frost looks like she's been bedazzled. Naturally, even though there's an immense amount of physical violence (shredding, slicing, decapitating, stabbing, etc...), there's no blood. I can see comically cartoonish brain matter through Logan's skull hole, but don't let us see any blood in this PG-13 POS.
The action is questionable: A helicopter crashes and explodes then, somehow, explodes again! There are so many smash cuts in the fighting sequences it's obvious the choreographer phoned it in. Also, the majority of the "fight" sequences consist of beefy dudes standing around posing in their best can't-fit-through-a-door look.
Some of the casting is bizarre: Why not cast the guy who looks exactly like Hugh Jackman as James/Logan/Wolverine's actual father instead of the cuckolded husband? For Gambit, at least try to cast someone who can attempt to do a Creole accent. And good job making one of the coolest X-Men look like an absolute douche by giving him a wizard staff.
Deadpool... where do we start? Do we need to start since this has been so widely covered? No. At least Ryan Reynolds has atoned for this nonsense.
And, finally, the story: Gee. Spoilers ahead I guess. After joining up with Stryker and a squad of mutants who murder an entire village for some adamantium, Logan figures out he's not cool with Stryker's particular brand of murder and decides to ditch the murdering mutant squad. Years later, Logan very smartly trusts Stryker to experiment on him just so Logan can get "the tools" needed to kill his brother (who totally by necessity killed Logan's girlfriend instead of just going after Logan - that wasn't suspicious or strange at all)! And surprise! Stryker has nefarious plans for Logan and SAYS THEM OUT LOUD so Logan hears. Somehow, later, Logan is still shocked to find out that he's been further manipulated because his brother and Stryker are working together *clutches pearls*! If you can make it this far in the film and still be surprised by anything that happens then your brain has checked out completely.
Some of these issues alone don't make a film unwatchable. But paired and stacked and mashed together in one film it becomes intolerable. Skip this... watch Logan (2017). It's a far superior film.
