Gregory Alba & Coy Jandreau react to and break down Logan (2017), the James Mangold-directed X-Men film that redefines the superhero genre with a gritty, grounded, western-inspired story. The film stars Hugh Jackman (The Greatest Showman, Prisoners) as an aging, broken Logan / Wolverine, alongside Patrick Stewart (Star Trek, X-Men) as Charles Xavier, and Dafne Keen in a breakout performance as Laura / X-23. Set in a near-future where mutants are nearly extinct, the film follows Logan as he struggles with declining powers and a dying Professor X, until a mysterious young mutant girl appears, forcing him back into a fight he’s been trying to escape. As discussed in the reaction, the brutal opening immediately establishes a very different Wolverine — one who is slower, vulnerable, and in constant pain, setting the tone for a story that feels more like a western than a traditional superhero film.The film delivers a series of unforgettable moments, from Laura’s first explosive action sequence revealing her full power set to the quiet, emotional family dinner scene that offers a rare glimpse of peace before everything falls apart. The dynamic between Logan, Charles, and Laura becomes the heart of the movie, blending found-family storytelling with themes of regret, redemption, and legacy. Everything builds toward a devastating final act, featuring the savage confrontation with X-24 — a reflection of Logan at his most violent — and the emotional climax that brings Wolverine’s journey to a definitive and heartbreaking end. As highlighted in the reaction, the film’s grounded tone, minimal reliance on spectacle, and character-driven storytelling make it stand apart as not just a great comic book movie, but a great film overall. Greg & Coy break down the performances, the western influences, the emotional weight of Logan’s arc, and why this stands as one of the most powerful endings in superhero cinema. #Logan #Wolverine #XMen #HughJackman #Logan2017 #MovieReaction #X23 #ProfessorX #Marvel #ComicBookMovies #Reaction #ReactTo #Reaction #RoadToAvengersDoomsday #RoadToDoomsday #AvengersDoomsday #MCU #MovieMarathon - X-MEN: APOCALYPSE (2016) Reaction Commentary: https://youtu.be/oQE93-rQ3Jg- X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE (2009) Reaction Commentary: https://youtu.be/Zfk2qa-a-vI- X-MEN: THE LAST STAND (2006) Reaction Commentary: https://youtu.be/3ZhImFDcVrs- X2: X-MEN UNITED (2003) Reaction Commentary: https://youtu.be/qXVcwzDpvWA Follow *Greg Alba*https://www.instagram.com/thegregalba/https://twitter.com/thegregalba Follow *Coy Jandreau*https://www.youtube.com/@CoyJandreauhttps://www.tiktok.com/@coyjandreau?lang=enhttps://www.instagram.com/coyjandreau/?hl=enhttps://twitter.com/CoyJandreau 0:00 Checking In!1:18 Logan Reaction34:18 HUEL 36:08 Logan Commentary Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ RR Clips & Shorts Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ReelRejectsClips Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=enhttps://twitter.com/thereelrejectshttps://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative CommonsAttribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Head Editor: https://www.instagram.com/prapermediaSupervising Producer: https://twitter.com/nerdchronic?lang=enCo-Editor: Greg AlbaCo-Editor: John Humphrey Music In Video: Airport Lounge - Disco Ultralounge by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow & Listen to Us Wherever You Get Your Podcasts!!- https://open.spotify.com/show/3XHMwbveiznxSOGxN9XT0M- https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vc3Rhci13YXJzLXRhbGs- https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-reel-rejects-tv-movie-recaps/id1616339990- https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Apocalypse-Podcast/B08JJP58FG PLAYLISTS: Trailer Reactions & Reviews:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw9ZsLdoAQFpx38s2hhyFgDe Movie Reviews:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw-comtadVs8b9JsZEWHUyr8 The Reel Rejects is represented by Digital Fox Talent.
