A disaster. It's sort of a portent of things to come and a warning from the past as to just how dire these movies can become.
It starts with something at least. The idea of Logan hunting down an unknown assailant murdering his former comrades at least has the shape of a movie to it, but it quickly descends into an absolute mess of poor decisions, ill-conceived ideas, weird characterisation, wavering tone, a hurried need to set up a franchise without even making one good movie first, and the acting chops of will.i.am.
