james mangold’s logan was officially the most complained about movie in the united kingdom last year.

as first reported by screen geek, the british board of film classification (the uk’s equivalent of the mpaa) received 20 official complaints about hugh jackman’s final film as wolverine, with most citing the excessive violence. specifically, the complaints alleged that a 15 classification was not high enough for the film.

the bbfc respectfully disagreed.

here’s the official write-up from the bbfc’s annual report:

“logan generated the largest amount of public feedback in 2017, with twenty complaints received. this is a relatively small number compared to films in previous years, some of which have attracted between forty and fifty complaints. members of the public who wrote in felt that the film’s violence was too strong for a 15 classification and would have been more appropriately placed at 18.

“however, the bbfc classification guidelines permit strong violence at 15 provided it does not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury. while the violence in logan is strong and frequently bloody, it is also rapidly edited with a focus on action rather than sadism. the film’s fantastical setting and super-powered central character further distances the violence from reality, allowing the issue to be acceptable at 15.”

the comics-based atomic blonde and kingsman: the golden circle also made the list for 2017. fox’s original r-rated superhero romp, deadpool, garnered the most bbfc complaints -- a staggering 51 -- in 2016.
