The long awaited release of Hugh Jackman's final performance as the Wolverine was amazing, even better then I thought it would be! This movie brings in a perfect amount of action, drama, and time to see Logan and Laura bond on a fun road tripThe long awaited release of Hugh Jackman's final performance as the Wolverine was amazing, even better then I thought it would be! This movie brings in a perfect amount of action, drama, and time to see Logan and Laura bond on a fun road trip scene. It is loosely based off the "Old Man Logan" comic book series but does bring something new to the table that is amazing. Also, the acting is amazing. But to conclude this all, it is a must see for older audiences who are a fan of this hacking and slashing hero and want to see his final chapter. I've watched almost every Marvel movie and I have to say by-far that this is the best Marvel film yet.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A movie with surprising depth and profundity that was able to make basic human emotions matter as much if not more than super powers. For example, we find Charles Xavier, a brilliant man who's powers were reliant on his brain, coping with such an ironic and tragic but human situation: his mind is betraying him. When he realizes his crime committed to those he had spent so long nurturing and acting as a father figure to, especially as a senile old man, that truly was heartbreaking. Logan still has his hard-earned pessimism but you really get a feel of how exhausted of life he is. My one gripe were the villains were kind of bland for me, though they do serve their purpose as vehicles for ideologies. I do have a higher expectation from Xmen to have villains be more than just bad guys in costume up to no good, and while that wasn't exactly the case here I did find their depth more on the lacking side.

In all, I felt the movie really did a great job focusing on characters and relationships and showed how the Xmen were not a superteam, but a surrogate family.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. "Nature made me a freak, man made me a weapon, and God made it last too long."

In a time when Marvel continues to churn out the same superhero film time-and-time again ('Deadpool' and 'Guardians' aside due to their fresh take on the genre), it's refreshing when something as intricate and beautifully-executed as 'Logan' is made, and on the extremely rare occasion I have given a superhero film a "masterpiece" rating. I mean let's face it, that first trailer was a dead giveaway of how damn good it was going to be.

I understand that Marvel has made the attempt to build characters through a series of films previously, such as they have tried with the Avengers films, but never have I seen a film that treats character development as seriously, and pulls it off with such precision, as they did here in 'Logan', a film that focuses more on the "humane" aspect of the character and how vulnerable he is as a superhero, instead of the over-the-top execution that's usually featured ('X- Men Origins' I'm looking at you).

Two characters that we've come to know and love, James "Wolverine" Howlett (aka Logan) and Charles "Professor X" Xavier, are put to the test of time as we see them in their new state, once characters that resembled strength and power, are now withering and vulnerable. And the gut-punching, adrenaline-pumping action has been swapped out for slow-moving, emotional drama and character development. Does it work? You bet! From start to finish we are led on a journey of discovery and empathy, with James Mangold more than making up for his previous effort that is 'The Wolverine'.

I think it's the uncertainty throughout that gives the film that powerful punch. In the other X-Men films (and most other Marvel films for that), we are faced with a plethora of superheroes each fighting a seemingly impossible army, but no matter what, there is always a general feeling that the good guys will win, and this usually happens. So when attending a superhero film, you sit back in ease, knowing the protagonists will succeed, however in 'Logan' that never happens, there is never that sense of safety, we can't be certain of their outcomes. Every step of the way, Wolverine looks tired, he looks sick, he's dying gradually, and due to his weakened form, we are left worrying for the character, there is that emotional attachment that most other superhero films lack. This is the harrowing truth throughout, we are emotionally-concerned from start to finish.

With utterly stunning cinematography, a hard-hitting score, fantastic direction and a superhero performance that might just be the first Oscar-deserving one ever. Wolverine's outing makes for the best Marvel film to date, a gritty and vulnerable adventure into the vulnerability of superheroes.… Expand

That in the most visceral sense of the word. Although there has been much talk about the similarities that this work has with one of the biggest video games of the last period: The Last Of Us (2013) It has the crudeness and the handling of the perfect violence (although in Logan the violence Is much more exaggerated in the same way it gets along well) and an argument although fanciful in the same way is mature.
In the sense of the script I felt it with enough references so that a lover of comics (not sandy enough) likes it and you do not feel lost if you have not seen films before this, since you only need to know about Wolverine only Of general culture.
In the action scenes are full of blood and are not as overexploited as others. Not to enter spoiler terrain the key situations are very well developed and the turns you expected are there but they will also surprise you.
The characters are very memorable and good performances in the same way, although the translation of Latin America is especially in dubbing since it is very mexicanizada which has to do with the direction of the film, my recommendation is to see it in the original language, and That much part is realized in Mexico and with the translation loses slang. (There is a situation with X-23 that will be remembered for its translation).
In the matter of art direction is absolutely normal, except in key moments, nothing to remember.
In short, it is a very good action film and above all with a story that is bearable and memorable.… Expand

It is a masterpiece of the most epic proportions and leaves us with a brilliant swanThe word 'perfect' is very objective especially when it comes to film. While Logan may not be a perfect film, it is most certainly a perfect comic book film. It is a masterpiece of the most epic proportions and leaves us with a brilliant swan song for producer and star Hugh Jackman in his final outing as Wolverine. The film, directed brilliantly by James Mangold, is a two plus hour comic book fan's wet dream as we see the version of Wolverine every fan has wanted to see for nearly two decades. While many will be very sad to see Jackman step down from the role, he couldn't have picked a better or more satisfying film to end his cinematic legacy with.

The film takes place in 2029 and shows the world in shambles. Mutants are nearly extinct, water is scarce and the world is just an overall wasteland. This is where we find Logan. He is a limo driving cantankerous caretaker to an even more cantankerous Professor X, who is now suffering from dementia and seizures. He is a borderline alcoholic suffering from a mysterious illness that limits his mutant abilities. Due to this, he lives this quiet life until he meets a young girl who he feels he must protect. Without giving too much away, there is much more here than I can go into but I will say, if you are a fan of the Wolverine comics, this film will bring a tear to your eye. This is probably the most faithful adaptation of a comic book character EVER, Marvel and DC combined. The way the story goes, the way Logan behaves, the selflessness and the rage, this is an all around realized version of this character. While it may have taken a little longer than it should have, this film was worth the wait. James Mangold does a fantastic job at creating the world Logan knows now. This is more of a film like Mangold's 3:10 to Yuma. It is bleak, violent and absolutely heartbreaking. This is far from the PG-13 character we're used to. This is a foul mouthed, miserable and very VERY bloody rendition of the source material. This is a film very much like The Guantlet or Badlands, a crime thriller and on-the-road drama. It very much embodies the look and feel of a film from the mid-70s and it plays to this very well. The performances in this film are amazing. Hugh Jackman's performance here is the best as the character and may be one of the best of his career. He is miserable and broken in this film and to see him like this as the character, it is bittersweet especially because Jackman has been so attached to this role. If he hurts, we hurt. If he's mad, we're mad. It is a true testament to Jackman as an actor to make his audience feel this connected to someone who is, by traditional standards, completely unrelateable. Boyd Holbrook brings a sinister performance to this and continues to build a very impressive resume. Holbrook is someone who you'll love to hate. The real standout performance here is from Dafne Keen who plays Laura. Without giving away any spoilers, she is BADASS in this film and even gives Logan a run for his money on the brutality.

Overall, Logan is a perfect comic book adaptation that is as heartbreaking as it is visually stunning. Mangold and Jackman create a special film with this that should be talked about for years to come. Believe the hype, Logan is a seriously amazing comic book film that just may be the best ever made and embodies the definition of a perfect adaptation.… Expand

Before I go into my enthusiastic ramble about this film, I noticed that Logan shares many tropes which call back to critically acclaimed Westerns like Shane & Unforgiven. These tropes are particularly seen through iconic comic book characters and it's refreshing narrative which was mostly inspired by the writings of Old Man Logan. Although being apart of the processed goods that is Marvel Cinematic Films, Logan perfectly closes the chapter of beloved comic book adapted characters Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) & Professor X (Patrick Stewart), whilst also subtly nodding at a bright future for new mutants. It's narrative balances the themes of Fatherhood, Depression, Loss, Family and Revenge. It is in fact the perfect balance of Robust Violence and Dramatic Themes that I have experienced since films Leon: The Professional, Road to Perdition & as previously mentioned, Unforgiven. To make things clearer, Logan is not a superhero film, but, instead it portrays the tale of aging heros desperately trying to find their way in a dystopian world where little to none of their kind stand. It's equally horrifically violent, emotional and intriguing in showing the development of Logan and his battle to care for his aging father figure Charles Xavier and an unexpected young ally Laura. The Production team and Director James Mangold should be greatly commended for such a jaw-dropping send off to the iconic comic book character, Logan, portrayed by Hugh Jackman on screen for almost 20 Years!

However, there are always a few outstanding superhero movies that can be a fascinating movie on its own. In 2004 there was the incredibles; in 2008 there was The Dark Knight. Fortunately enough, we have another one of those in 2017, and it's Logan. Logan is the rare type of superhero movie that I would dare recommend to my lab research instructor without him thinking I'm a naive kid who still watches Marvel. It is an incredible journey of Wolverine's final struggle of nature and artificiality, and BOY IS IT WORTH WATCHING!… Expand

Tremendously directed, scored, and acted. It may seem far fetched but the movie itself and its trio of Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, and the incredibly talented newcomer Dafne Keen are all worthy of serious Oscar consideration. Unprecedented for any movie based on a comic book. This movie will always hold a special place in my heart, not only was it the perfect swan song to Hugh Jackman's tremendous run as Wolverine, but of the many movies I have had the pleasure of seeing this was the only one that successfully and shamelessly moved me to tears. With that, I highly encourage anyone and everyone to go see 'Logan' and it is unsurprisingly my favorite film of the year and my entire lifetime. I truly hope it breaks down the barrier and becomes the first comic book/superhero movie to garner a Best Picture nomination.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. i honestly (and still) loved Logan. it was the best of the three standalone wolverine movies (which isn't too hard to beat) and possibly the most accurate portrayal of the character. this movie adds depth to Logan showing the viewer what he is thinking and what he i actually capable of and I think the R rating was necessary to pull this off as it Logan inst a pg character.

I also love the dynamic between x23 and Logan. Logan is wise and old and x23 is naive and young Logan sees himself in her and doesn't want her to make the same mistakes. he also feels responsible for the deaths of the people around him and is stricken by greif as there isnt much left for him to live for. which brings me to my next point. this movie flips the whole dynamic of Charles Xavier and Logan on its head in poetic way. the father has become the child and the child has become the father. Logan is look after an even older frailer prof.x who cant control his powers anymore. and appart from x23 charles is the only thing keeping logan alive.… Expand

Absolutely, without a doubt, the single best superhero movie I have ever seen. Not only that, it is on the very top of my list of favorite "real movies" as well. I can't really come up with a better movie at this moment.

We went to see LoganAbsolutely, without a doubt, the single best superhero movie I have ever seen. Not only that, it is on the very top of my list of favorite "real movies" as well. I can't really come up with a better movie at this moment.

We went to see Logan in the RPX so we could choose our seat. However, it was a Tuesday and the RPX is double the price of the discounted Tuesday prices for other showings that there wasn't a packed theater. This meant no distractions and we could focus on the movie.

I can't go into too much detail here, I don't want this to have spoilers, but I can say I will post again and break it down. The movie had a huge personal impact.

What I can say is this is not your Avenger's big tent action movie. The focus is on an aging Logan, Professor X and a young Laura (c'mon its not a spoiler if its in the trailer). Laura is being hunted by a group of powerful mercenaries and Logan and Professor X are trying to protect her.

The R rating does allow people to see the brutality of what it would be like to fight Wolverine, limbs and heads amputated, faces clawed open and the absolute monster that Wolverine could be in a fight. That however was not what the rating really made better. The storytelling was much better. It could handle much more adult subjects such as aging, consequences of a life of conflict, and family. This movie is not for someone who is a child or who is only interested in a mutant battle. If that is the limit of a movie you are interested, go see the new Thor, Spider Man or Guardians of the Galaxy movies coming out this summer.

I won't say anything else about the plot of the movie except to say it mirrors Deadpool in a way. Instead of redefining a superhero movie into a darker comedy, Logan transforms this movie into a gritty western as much as a superhero movie. It has a very broad, if very adult, scope for an audience. Some have talked about Oscars. I think it would be justified to receive best actor/supporting actor nominations if not the actual Oscars themselves.

The emotional impact of this movie hit both me and the hubby that night. It was near the anniversary of my father's death (one year) and there were a lot of similarities, the movie was like a gut punch. Those I will talk about in my next post about Logan where I can break out spoilers.

The biggest takeaway I saw another critic say is that the R rating is an excellent injection into the superhero niche. Not for violence, but for the way it can open a story up and allow superhero movies to grow up and become full stories, not just comics.

It has been reported that this is Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart's last movie each for their characters. 20 years of Wolverine and Professor X wrapped up on the best superhero movie made. I am sad they are turning in their characters, but I have to say it was absolutely the best movie they could have chosen to do so.

The good: Absolutely the best acting in any superhero movie, and in the top for conventional movies. The story is tight, not distracted with explosions or too many special effects. It satisfies both the action need and the story need that no other superhero movie can.

The bad: It is the last movie with Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman playing their characters.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is truly beautiful. Hugh Jackman and Sir Patrick Stewart pulled off their best performances as these characters. The new addition of Dafne Keene was perfect, and I can't wait to see her spinoff movie. Director James Mangold nailed the dark, foreboding atmosphere without making it feel schlocky or edgy. The writing is also some of the best in any superhero or comic book movie ever, with each story beat landing perfectly and tearing at all of our collective heartstrings. The deaths of Charles Xavier is one of the darkest and most powerful pieces of cinema to date. And of course, I must talk about the death of Logan. It is a showing of perfect cinema, with him finally succumbing to death after years of being unable to die. Of course, the action is also spectacular, with the R rating really giving us the full affect. Both of the fights with X-24 are standouts, the sheer level of brutality making the audience squirm. I saw this movie in theaters, and at the end of the movie, nobody was talking or theorizing, the only sounds were people crying, myself included. Overall, this movie is my personal favorite of all time, and I fail to truly see any of the problems that plague the superhero genre.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Logan is my favorite movie of all time after seeing it. This movie has some comedy, a lot of heart, and great action. Hugh Jackman does such a tremendous job as Wolverine and it is really sad to see him go. This movie is basically a western and yes, it does have a lot of story similarities to The Last of Us. The plot is that Logan needs money so he can buy a boat for Charles Xavier who is suffering from a brain disease, and he wants to get away from the world, so he takes a job to take X-23, played greatly by Dafne Keen. This leads to a lot of problems where Logan loses his friends, but finds that the protection of this girl is important. Especially since she has the same powers as him, and he knows what she has been through because he's gone through it. There's this great line at the end of the movie where Logan says to X-23, "Don't be what they made you,". That's what I've really loved about Wolverine in these movies is that he has a lot of heart and he really cares about people, and yet he is a tortured soul. It's surprising to me that he never joined Magneto in the movies, because he seems on the outside like the kind of person who would, but on the inside he is someone with a great heart, and Hugh Jackman does a tremendous job as the character. Logan has a ton of heart, which is why I think it stands out from the rest of the superhero movies out there. It doesn't feel like a typical superhero movie and that's why it works. The performances overall are tremendous, the writing is great, and the music is great as well. If there was one thing I wasn't a fan of, it would be the villain, not Donald Pierce, but the other guy that Pierce was working for. He wasn't on screen all that much, and then at the end when we start learning more about him, he suddenly dies. But I don't think this one thing detracts from this film whatsoever. It is a fantastic film from start to finish.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Logan is a movie that will leave you speechless, from the moment it begins to the moment it ends, every aspect of the film is like a punch in the face (in the best way possible). The emotion, the tone, the aesthetic, the dialogue, the sentiment, the music, it all culminated in the best movie of all time.
The film constantly keeps an almost “run down” tone. Everyone is tired, everything is gloomy, and the only setting we see is the desert and a rainy cemetery. We are shown exactly what Logan is feeling, in everything that surrounds him. The only time the setting changes is when the characters are at the farm, and the end in the forest. Logan is shown to us in everything around him, and everything he does. Every decision made by the filmmakers makes sense in the best way. Every character in the movie feels real and completely realistic. Logan is run down, but not a complete **** He still cares deeply for Charles, and later Laura, and is shown to be protective of the family he has found. Laura feels like a real 10 year old. She doesn't trust everyone completely, but she cares for them and forms real relationships with them. Laura’s way of convincing Logan to take her to North Dakota is just repeating the names of her friends endlessly until he relents, what genius. Charles acts exactly like a grandfather, from being the one to insist to take help and get supplies, to reminiscing with Laura about old movies. The characters act like they always have, Logan is still gruff and mean, Charles is still a bit of a know it all, but they also adjust to their new environments and circumstances, and they are clearly shown to take on character traits accustomed to a father and grandfather, without ruining all the character they already had. Plus, the way Logan wears his dollar store glasses on the bridge of his nose with the tag still on as he watches a phone held a foot away from his face is so perfect, the moment that scene was shown its like, “Yeah. That’s a dad.” The ending itself is the most emotionally exhausting thing I’ve ever witnessed. The entire third act is a marathon, not a sprint. From the part at the farm house, the end of the credits, I felt like I didn’t breathe. The emotion is spectacularly built, from the music to the acting to the way everything is shot. The very choice of a final villain is genius in itself. The very idea that Logan is fighting himself is obviously metaphor in itself, but one that works just way to well. But by far the best part of the third act is the performances. Never once did I question what a character was feeling, it was obvious in not only their choices, but simply their facial expressions. The scene where Logan runs back into the house to find the clone has injured Charles and taken Laura, and he stands at the base of the steps trying to choose who to help first is INCREDIBLE. It is so easy to understand the conflict that every single character is facing. When the actual ending comes, I must say, i did sob. Not only I sob though, I was struck completely still for the entirety of the credits, quietly sobbing and barely breathing. For 24 hours after the credits ended, I was brought to tears at the very thought of the film, and couldn’t bare to watch anything else. Anytime I tried watching anything else, I was struck by just the emotion of the film’s end, and found myself incapable of absorbing anything else. It has been over a month, and I still can’t listen to “The Man Comes Around” without breaking down into tears. The pure power that movie’s ending alone has are amazing. In superhero movies, it is often hard to completely feel as if a character is truly dead, but Logan defies that. Teh very thought that Fox or Disney may bring Logan back makes me fill with rage. Logan’s ending was the perfect ending, and nothing will ever top it.
One of the best parts of Logan is the way it completely mocks every other superhero movie ever. There’s blood everywhere, everyone’s cursing, dead bodies cover every inch of the ground, and no one seems completely happy after a fight. The first fight we see Logan get into doesn’t show him willingly filling up with bullets, but acting almost exhausted every time a bullet enters him. Not to say he’s completely bothered, in fact he only fights back when a bullet hits his rental car, which in itself is so perfect. Several scenes like this stand out, the scene where they try to run a fence down with their car but it instead just bends inward for instance is so perfect. The decision to make this movie R is one I am forever grateful for. The very idea of making a movie like this PG makes me want to laugh. The blood, the cursing, the violence, it's all so perfect.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When we have an established movie franchise, things start getting a little monotonous - There's a bad guy who's out to destroy everything the hero stands for, then the hero fights and stops him to save the day. We get happy, cheer for the hero, and later forget all about it. But what if we were once told that the hero we are all cheering for is not there to stay forever? He will die, the new generation will come up, they will remember him for some years and eventually he will be forgotten until someone brings up his topic again.

This is exactly what happens in this movie. Unlike the high budget movies Marvel has been making like the Marvel Cinematic Universe, X-Men or Fantastic Four, this one takes place in a grim, dark near future. Everything The X-Men ever stood for has gone. Now it's just an ailing Charles Xavier and Logan, who's working as a limousine driver. They are no longer interested in the adventures they had. There was even a point where Logan sees an X-Men comic and dismisses it saying these are just fake stories. He doesn't care about a legacy, but Charles still does.

Logan later meets his daughter, who is to be the next Wolverine. She is in trouble, and Logan must help her cross the border before they get caught. One by one Professor X, and then Wolverine, are killed to ensure his daughter and her friends are safe. The movie finally ends with a realisation that no matter what happens, the cycle of life will carry on whether it's humans or mutants. Everything that is born has to die someday. The same X-Men who we once cheered for in the movies will no longer be with us, and neither will we be to tell your tales if you keep them to yourself.… Expand

Very few films can capture the true emotional aspects of family and suicidal ideation as well as this did. The way it brings the whole meaning to a depressed mans life when his only goal is to die is something that should be honoured and be respected for years to come. Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart deliver absolutely perfect performances and Jackman in particular bring closure to everyone watching that it’s okay to move on and shows how everything can have a meaning in life, even when it can be destined to fail. Dafne Keen as a newcomer shows immense talent by being able to keep up with the likes of Jackman and Stewart and still be expressive and deliver great messages with just her face and little speaking. This is a movie that has consequences that differ from typical superhero movies and movies in general, by showing that no matter the story the one and only consequence will be Logan getting the death he deserves and this could not have been done better. 10/10 movie!… Expand

The blood and gore were perfectly fitting for a character who fightsA last hurrah for Hugh Jackman, his Wolverine, and the first era of X-Men movies. Completely uncensored and brimming with emotion. The R-rating was used to good effect here. The blood and gore were perfectly fitting for a character who fights bad guys with razor sharp(er) claws. It's done tastefully and not in an over-the-top sort of way for shock value. The profanity also fits Logan, even if it's earlier usage in the film comes off as a bit forced when even Xavier starts dropping F-bombs. Yet, for all of it's gritty flash that makes things so exciting to watch, it's the emotions running through the tale that give the movie it's strength.

The relationship between Jackman and Stewart's Logan and Xavier is just as potent as that between Logan and his newly found daughter, Laura. The performances from the entire cast is surprisingly nuanced. The layers behind them and the meanings to their actions are often expressed without any words at all. Dafne Keen is an absolute firecracker. A fine potential lead/replacement to carry the series further should they choose to do so. Boyd Holbrook plays the best comic book movie villain in quite some time, and Stephen Merchant is a real scene-stealer as mutant tracker Caliban.

Being partially based on the Old Man Logan series, it was interesting to see how well the setting was sold. Those comics sort of had a post-apocalyptic vibe going for them. This movie does as well despite clearly not being set in a post-apocalyptic world. There's some impressive wizardry going on here. You'll notice influences from a lot of other genres outside of the standard comic book movie affair. Sometimes it feels like a western, others like a family drama, and even like an end of the world type of film. Yet, at the end of the day it's a character driven story. This is without a doubt the most diverse comic book movie thus far.

It's going to be interesting to see where the X-Men movies go from here. There's plenty of potential to go forward in new ways as well as a new middle chapter to flesh out thanks to the still game-changing effects of Days of Future Past. The difference now is that they are going to have to move forward without Hugh Jackman, which should mean no Wolverine as well (who wants to follow that act?). A pretty big challenge to overcome given that even the movies that weren't stand-alones were very Wolverine-centric. So long as the people behind these movies can keep things as unique and well-executed as this movie, then they'll be okay. Regardless, our last outing with Wolverine (at least with Hugh Jackman in the role) is a grand one. There's much more depth than you would expect, it doesn't goof around with the R-rating, does the title character a lot of justice, and stands as one of the best superhero movies currently created.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A welcome addition to an already saturated genre, continuing a movie series that everyone thought was all but exhausted of any chance of a sequel being good and remarkably creative. Logan achieves what all other Wolverine-Centric X-Men films all failed to do: make you actually care about what the heck is going on in this ultra violent, ultra science fiction world. Gone are the extremely convoluted, over-ambitious science-based plot points and bloated cast of mutants. Instead, everything is focused on exactly what is most important to this story: Wolverine, Xavier, Laura. All the fat of quicksilver and blah, and who else can we squeeze into this terrible story to make an extra buck--it's all been cut out. This is a mature film; it goes down like a sip of properly aged whisky: bold, sophisticated, and not for the faint of heart. The only real complaint I have is that the ultimately bloody end of this film felt abrupt after watching the film once; I was expecting an additional 5-20 minutes to completely solidify the end of the most favorite X-Men character's arc. Instead, we get a fairly quick last moments of Wolverine with his daughter, the two finally using the familial terms they never had the privilege to use, and then he's buried. That's it. Maybe it's because the movie was so good that I wanted more? Eh, I'll just buy it when it gets released from home entertainment. Even if you were as skeptical as I was about this movie, go see it. It will impress you.… Expand

Jackman is one of a kind...an actor that is..'GASP'..well aware that his run as Wolverine was a great turning point in his career, and in return, he always gave it his all in his role. Oh yeah..what about the film? Suffice to say, it is a powerful film that transcends its genre, much like, dare I say it, The Dark Knight. At its heart, LOGAN is a Western, and unshackled from normal genre conventions made Mangold bolder to create a more consistent and bolder vision than before. Gone is the 'mandatory' third act that marred his previous effort in The Wolverine, replaced with a violent, somber ending that benefits all the characters there. For the first time, we see the character in its 'R rated' glory but also in its rawness. Kudos to Patrick Steward, also reprising his role as Professor X as a bitter, obviously very sick, going on a last ride for a greater cause. While at the end, there is some cliche to its story line, the total package is absolutely great, and a great swan song for the whole 'original' cast. The X-Men series have always been the 'less consistent' in comparison to the MCU, but like X2, First Class, Days of Future Past and Deadpool before it, always gave the comic book genre its best films. Bravo..… Expand

Am I crazy in thinking that Logan is good enough to start stirring up some conversation when awards season hits? James Mangold’s long-awaited, much-ballyhooed, R-rated entry in the final chapter of Wolverine’s trilogy still manages to be aAm I crazy in thinking that Logan is good enough to start stirring up some conversation when awards season hits? James Mangold’s long-awaited, much-ballyhooed, R-rated entry in the final chapter of Wolverine’s trilogy still manages to be a surprising delight despite all the hype.

There are R-rated films that are violent in order to grab more eyeballs, and there are R-rated films that are violent because it’s necessary. This one’s definitely in the latter, and like Deadpool it is true to its truest form – as in, there’s so much blood and dismembered body parts it’s impossible to even forget for a second that you’re watching a film about a man who likes to stab a lot and has metal claws in his hands that go snikt!

The year is 2029, and due to some nefarious doings of a mystery science company a mutant has not been born in a quarter-century. An old Logan (Hugh Jackman) spends his days working as a no-nonsense limo driver shuttling back and forth from Texas and Mexico, haunted by a drinking problem and a bad cough. His healing factor has slowed with age, just as the rest of his body has, and remains one of the last of the mutants along with Professor Xavier (Patrick Stewart). Xavier's brain disease continues to progress and causes him to lose control of his immense and deadly power, and now lives in an overturned water tower that slightly resembles Cerebo. They’re joined only by Caliban (Stephen Merchant), an albino mutant who has the ability to track other mutants and who serves as Xavier’s day-to-day caretaker. Everyone is tired, and life is a drag.

The X-Men have long since disbanded, but the Wolverine is still a household name, and a nurse tries to enlist his help in escorting an 11-year-old girl, Laura (Dafne Keen), to a place called “Eden” in North Dakota. Logan initially refuses, but eventually takes the job in exchange for a hefty payout. Along the way, though, he runs into Donald Pierce (Boyd Holbrook), a heavy-duty security guard whose job is to keep a mysterious science company’s secrets under wraps. As Logan and Laura go on the run, their symbiotic relationship becomes the heart of the story. Logan serves itself very well because of just how few characters it has, a nice change of pace from the previous X-Men films that feel overcrowded and make you wonder which actors are actually playing mutants and which ones accidentally walked onto the wrong set. Every scene seems like a character study, and even the minor characters are as every bit as memorable as the stars. Everything seems to make sense and carry genuine emotion.

It’s such a major improvement over Mangold’s previous effort in The Wolverine, an uneven, big-budget summer film that had a hackneyed love story and a hackneyed villain, a structure studios stubbornly and stupidly drift towards because it’s been proven to make a lot of money. Logan’s advantage was here – a story that manages to be both deeply violent and deeply personal because there were good reasons it had to be. The studios were so unsure of its success Jackman took a pay cut in order to reduce some financial risk, and Mangold filmed the bloody scenes with practical effects because he thought it would look more aggressive and visceral.

Mangold’s films always look very good, and the cinematography from John Mathieson, who previously worked on X-Men: First Class and the criminally underrated The Man from U.N.C.L.E.¸ is also astounding, with its dust clouds, washes of orange and limited use of bright colours making it look just like a classic Western. Marco Beltrami’s score is very good, and sounds every bit like a man preparing for his inevitable final stand. The actions scenes are smooth and intelligible, and seeing how Hacksaw Ridge just won an Oscar for its clarity in editing action sequences, is hopefully the start of a hard charge in the opposite direction of hyperactive editing.

We now have definitive proof that R-rated superhero films can be successful whether they’re crude or brutal, but they can’t be crude or brutal just for the sake of it. The X-Men universe has always been known for its social commentary, and hopefully the success of Logan will help realize a new niche for hyper-focused, character study dramas that involve comic book characters living in very real worlds.… Expand

The movie is in the same vein of gritty realism the Christopher Nolan Batman movies highlighted. The script is well written, though a tad unbalanced at times (the investment in a credible villain with more than a passing reason for be evil) shines in all the right places throughout the series.

The rating is warranted; this is a hard R and shines for it. Blood and gore for the sake of Blood and gore does not make a movie good, but when used to TELL the story as opposed to appease the L.C.D (Lowest Common Denominator) does. Logan does this. I'm no way a squeamish person, but there are moments where I involuntarily winched at the carnage taking place.

Worth the view, and a stellar way to send Hugh Jackman's Wolvie off into the proverbial sunset.… Expand

Most movies in it have been a mixed bag of good, great, bad and downright bizarre. In varying ratios. Logan, at long last tells a good complete story and does it well. They aren't saving this world this time. Just a handful of interesting colorful characters with simple straightforward goals. And character development. Nearly as much as all the other X-men films combined. By going this way it makes us so much more invested in the characters and the outcome. And as an end of an era sort of movie, no one is safe. Its a welcome change. This is not the most action packed X-men movie ever. Or the flashiest. Its been compared to old Western movies. Rightly so. But I think that makes it truer to the source material. Its capturing what was best about the comics. Oddly the best thing about Logan may just be the evenness of it all. Power balance and power creep is a huge problem in action movies these days. How many times can indestructible CG Superman punch CG Doomsday before we stop caring? Neither one is getting hurt in any meaningful way and the fight is dull until that changes. There are too many examples of that in modern movies to list. Here Logan is old. Doesn't heal as well. And he's met his match. No one is super OP. There's no deus ex machina moments in this film and the movie is so much better for it. The change to being R rated is a most welcome one. In addition to making the world feel more grounded, it really helps drive the stakes for the central characters home. Hopefully the franchise sticks to this new direction. Its just a shame they had to discover it in the last film for some key actors/characters.… Expand

It is awesome that they used Rating R for Wolverine movie(finally) because everything is looking real and does not feel like they constrained from some scenes. This rating is giving so much freedom and art is freedom so please use more of that in other movies where rating R is much needed. Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart and little girl Dafne Keen are fabulous. I was impressed the most with Dafne for sure by cause of it is hard to see kid character that is playing this good and doesn't make you cringe. So good overall. Only downside for me is that third act of the movie feels a little rushed and does not have high intense moments. I would love to see Hugh Jackman again as wolverine. I have no idea who can play that character rather than him. God damn....17 years of playing same guy...… Expand

The films are usually just about getting to the next set piece and cutting from mass explosion to mass explosion.

Logan luckily gets it right.

The film has definite emotional weight due to the script being able to give character interactions more meaning and just give the actors (Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart) more to eat up. The films set pieces have poignancy and conflict within them and captures the brutality of Wolverine. The X-23 character is also played with so little dialogue but done so well that you love all the characters and the way the act with each other. This film is an amazing showcase that superhero films can be great, if they focus on the characters and the plot first and not the big bosses they will soon fight or the biggest explosion they can put in. Sometimes the stakes in a film feel raised for the audience when they are lowered in the film (who gives a sh*t about Apocalypse eh?).

Great film and would highly recommend everyone check it out. Genuinely surprised me at moments, moved me and filled me with adrenaline in the action scenes.

Brutal, well written and somewhate emotional, despite its ex-positional ludicrousness. Also really nicely ties in the comic books to the plot.

What is first notable about logan is the obvious deviation from the superhero genre itself similar in the vein of films such as unbreakable, the dark knight and watchman yet different in the way that it begs the question, what if the superman was still among us and didn't care anymore? A question which director James Mangold and actors Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart and Dafne Keen answer so well words cannot describe. What is incredibly unique about logan however is how well paced the movie feels with even the slow parts of the film being extremely entertaining and satisfying in the way that the story develops a memorable arc with many beautifully shot sequences. Logan also lives up to its rating aswell with a tone of severed limbs and blood fountains that pump a large amount of adrelune into the film while not deviating into the stupidly goory side of things.

Overall Logan is an experience and has to be seen and not spoiled to recieve the full measure of the films greatness.… Expand

It’s well acted, the action scenes are really good and the plot line, while dark and gritty also works very well and the rumours are not true, there is no Deadpool cameo in the film, thank god, because that would have destroyed the tone. It’s not fun and it’s not glamorous, but that does not change the fact that it is readly good.

"This is what life looks like. People who love each other. A home. You should take a moment... Feel it".

It's very rare that a X-men (or any superhero movie), could be the hardest thing I've ever progress in terms of my thoughts and"This is what life looks like. People who love each other. A home. You should take a moment... Feel it".

It's very rare that a X-men (or any superhero movie), could be the hardest thing I've ever progress in terms of my thoughts and feelings. Much hard when writing about it. Heck, I wouldn't even call it a superhero movie, but a mixture of both western and drama in disguise. No one is safe and the stakes are higher than before. While the villains themselves aren't anything I would call "great", but they did felt like a real threat and wasn't too cliché to the story.

Still...

"Logan" is one of the best non superhero movies I've seen in awhile. A sad but satisfying farewell to are fan favorite. A surprising character driven movie with real consequences. A bold and risky film that wouldn't have been made years ago in the hands of FOX. But I think it's the unexpected powerhouse that got me in many ways. Something the previous movies couldn't do.

Much darker and gruesome than I expected. Remember in "X-men: Apocalypse" when Wolverine goes on a full rampage and violently kills all the guards, but most of it was off-screen, even through you can clearly see blood on the walls. Well take that scene and imagine actually seeing him tearing through people. Yeah, it really goes for it and that ain't a bad thing.

Hugh Jackman has portrayed Wolverine for over seventeen years and this is by far his most powerful performance. It's the humanity and the depression of the character we never truly seen. Despite happening around him, Logan's true enemy is himself. Before the end of an era, he learns the meaning of family and being a hero for others. I know this may sound far-fetch, but I would go as far to say that Jackman deserves some award buzz for this. The raw emotion he brought to his scenes without any sloppy music under neath it, is achievement. Jackman will forever be Wolverine and nothing will top that.

Patrick Stewart delivers his last and most heartfelt performance as Charles Xavier. In this movie, he isn't the same Professor X who know and love. He is 90 year old, suffers from dementia, and has a dirty mouth. But at the same time, he's the a father figure to Logan. The scenes between Stewart and Jackman are one of the few highlights of the film.

Dafne Keen was fantastic as Laura/X-23. She captures the characters inner emotions just by her facial expressions that says so much than dialogue. What's more impressive that this is her first major role and already I'm interested of what she dose next.

I have to give major credit to James Mangold for what he brings to this harsh, but beautiful film. I wouldn't say he's an absolute professional when it comes to action scenes and story, but the perfect balance of brutal and bleakness he brought to those scenes was freaking spot on. The Wolverine series have been all over the place in terms of quality and tone, but Mangold finally puts it on his feet. By giving me what I wanted for years and much more.

Overall rating: "Logan" is a special kind of ride that hits you in places you wouldn't expect. I grinned and cried at the right moments. And that last shot was just perfect.

Farewell bub.… Expand

What better way to say "goodbye" to Hugh Jackman as Wolverine than to adapt Mark Millar's "Old Man Logan" comic book into an R-Rated and poignant picture. 'Logan', directed by James Mangold ('Walk the Line' and 'The Wolverine') takes place inWhat better way to say "goodbye" to Hugh Jackman as Wolverine than to adapt Mark Millar's "Old Man Logan" comic book into an R-Rated and poignant picture. 'Logan', directed by James Mangold ('Walk the Line' and 'The Wolverine') takes place in the year 2029, and we see an aged Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), beaten and weak from his adamantium poisoning, trying to take care of the usual business. He is spending his days as a chauffeur and smuggling prescription drugs in Texas, the drugs are for a senile Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart, who actually appears old for once), who apparently is responsible for the death of the X-Men due to a seizure attack one year before. Logan seems to be followed by a woman named Gabriela (Elizabeth Rodriguez) who informs Logan to take care of a young girl and get her to where she needs to go. This young girl however, is no ordinary child, she seems to inhabit mutant powers as well, similar to that of Logan. She has blades that can extend from her knuckles. Logan and Charles try to protect her from a man named Donald Pierce (Boyd Holbrook), the leader of the Reavers, who want to take the little girl named "Laura" for some experiment. The movie then becomes a road-trip of sorts, where we spend most of the time with these characters trying to get away from the bad guys. 'Logan' is a fantastic movie, what makes it even better is that it's not your typical superhero movie where men are wearing colorful spandex, fly around, and try to battle some CGI army in a city where innocent people run away from the danger. This is a Western, and it doesn't feel like an adaptation where pages from the comic book are ripped out and brought to the big screen. Director James Mangold improves heavily from his last movie 'The Wolverine' (2013) which I enjoyed very much, until the third act, but it was still a solid movie. He was right to change up the genre, he was right to use "Old Man Logan" as an inspiration for Hugh Jackman's last ever appearance as Wolverine. Even just the title 'Logan' sounds much like a Western movie. This movie also thrives on the R-Rating... in fact, the very first word spoken is the "F" word, and is said by our title character. The violence here, while very bloody and graphic, feels natural. Much like 'Deadpool' (2016) before it, the violence, the profanity... they don't feel forced just to get that "R" rating, unlike the movie 'Sausage Party' (2016) which I mildly enjoyed, that movie was trying way too hard to be crude and vulgar at every minute to achieve its restricted rating. With 'Deadpool' (2016) and 'Logan', none of it is overused, but when a violent incident occurs... prepare yourself because this movie does not hold back on its promise to be rated 'R'. There is no better way to end Hugh Jackman's run as Wolverine, Mangold handles it fantastically well. Jackman gives this movie one last shot, and he does it with such grace, Stewart has also never been better, but at the same time, it's interesting to see him in this state. Dafnee Keen, who plays the little girl Laura, is also fantastic as the angry and curious child of her own powers. 'Logan' is already one of the best movies in the "X-Men" franchise.… Expand
