To celebrate their 200th episode of Honest Trailers, Screen Junkies gave fans what they have been asking for since March: the Honest Trailer ofLogan. Could Hugh Jackman’s portrayal ofLoganbe an Oscar contender? Probably not after the Honest Trailer takes it down a peg or two. Before their trailer even begins, Screen Junkie is bombarding the screen with social media posts begging for the Honest Trailer of the critically acclaimedLogan, and they have decided to deliver the goods. But that’s not all, to celebrate this momentous occasion, they have enlisted the help of none other thanDeadpool, (aka Ryan Reynolds in character) to roast his Marvel buddy.
The Honest TrailerYouTubevideo points out some characteristics that makeLoganstandalone to theWolverineandX-Menmovies that came before. For one,Logandoes not rely on an ensemble cast of fellow mutants to help push (or drag) the story along. Second,Loganstays away from the weird, confusing timelines and keeps the theme “realistic,” which Screen Junkies claim the movie should have been rated R for because of the often morbid sense that we all get old and die. Evenmutants. Third, and most importantly,Loganstrips away the over use of bloated CGI, allowing the movie to rely on the acting chops of the actors.
Screen Junkies was doing a pretty good job poking holes inLogan, but the criticism wasn’t as brutal as, say the Honest Trailer forSuicide Squad. Even though the burn on Boyd Hallbrook imitating Val Kilmer’s Doc Holiday is pretty savage. So instead of going at it solo, Screen Junkies enlisted the help ofDeadpoolto help out, but shockingly, Mr. Pool has nothing bad to say aboutLogan. Even after the narrator tries to lure him in to get in on the fun,Deadpoolplays it cool and states that “If (Hugh) Jackman doesn’t get an Oscar nom, I’m setting every VHS copy ofCrashon fire.” Which is of course a reference toCrashwinning the award for Best Picture in 2006. Deadpool doesn’t stop there, instead he starts to wonder whatLogandirector James Mangold could do withDeadpoolin 20 years. “Oh, man, how good what that be? Just 90 minutes of Cable and I changing each others space diapers.”
All joking aside,Loganis still earning money and gaining praise from fans and critics alike.Logan Noirbrought a fun twist on the already successful original movie, showing it in theaters in black and white.Loganstill hold a 92% fresh from Rotten Tomatoes, which makes it one of the best reviewed movies of 2017 thus far. The R-Rated (“realistic”), extra violent movie has earned over $600 million worldwide and was seen as abreath of fresh air for comic book movies.
Loganis currently available on Digital HD, Blu-Ray, and DVD as well as streaming. Ryan Reynolds will be back as Deadpool inDeadpool 2, which opens on June 1st, 2018 and promises to have more of the Weasel this time around. Without a doubt, the best part of the Honest Trailer is the yelling montage towards the end and you can watch it and Deadpool’s commentary below.
