Set inThis review contains spoilers. Last year’s Deadpool movie proved there is a market for more adult orientated and violent comic book movies and Logan backs that up with a movie that ranks amongst the best Marvel Studios have created. Set in the near future, in which mutants are no longer born, Logan (aka Wolverine) is driving a limousine for a living whilst caring for an ailing Charles Xavier. When he is contacted by a woman caring for a young girl, that she claims is her daughter, Logan and Xavier are forced out of hiding to in order to help.

Logan has is as much a western or a road as it is a superhero film and this really helps set it apart from what has started to become a slightly over-familiar structure for Marvel films. This approach also carries over into the action/fight scenes that, as well as being more bloody and brutal than you’ll see in other Marvel movies, rely less on CGI and are all the more effective for it. Hugh Jackman is as good as ever as Wolverine and the on screen chemistry between him, Xavier (Patrick Stewart) and Laura (the superb Dafne Keen) really helps give the movie a further edge by making it easy to actually care about what happens to these characters. If this is to be Jackman’s last appearance as Wolverine he’s certainly gone out on a high note.… Expand

And if this is truly Hugh Jackman's final time as Logan, what a day to go out.

I've only ever had a brief understanding of who he is and what he's all about. Thanks to its R-Rated approval rating, it allowed me to really understand how Wolverine truly interacts with everything and I bet the team behind the film were just as thankful too. It seemed like it allowed them to explore and push boundaries, fiddling with levels of creativity to really force the audience to properly immerse themselves in this jam-packed thriller.

All I'm going to say is that I got goosebumps several times. That's what makes a fantastic film - the fact that it was the final nail in the coffin only cements its place as surely one of the best Wolverine films ever. I think the fact my inherent, slight distaste of the Wolverine character myself prevents me from realising that it was a masterclass of a film. It's a darn shame I can't absolutely love the film when I don't love the character itself.… Expand

Even if Logan may feel enormously different from X-Men's original films, a surprisingly dramatic, entertaining and the same marvelous Hugh Jackman's interpretation mean a great "goodbye" to its characters.

There are some awesome superhero fight scenes that benefit greatly from the R rating, and the drama is able to evoke real emotions in the viewer. The problem is that there aren't enough superhero parts to make a good superhero movie, and the weak plot and villain motivations undercut the movie as a drama. Logan could easily be a 9+ movie with the benefit of some addition by subtraction by improving the pacing with tighter editing. Even without that Logan is well worth the watch at a solid 8.… Expand

My one complaint is that the stylized camera work threw me off a little for such a realistic movie, but by the time the Logan was halfway over, I didn't mind so much.

I liked the realism and the drama they used in place of the usual superhero fare of endless fights (though they didn't disappoint in terms of stabby Wolverine-y scenes either) and shoddy plots, but it still wasn't as good as "Unbreakable" (2000) or the first season of "Jessica Jones".… Expand

Jackman and Stewart give stellar performances that make you believe that these are men on the ropes.Logan marks what may be the final outing for Hugh Jackman as the character Wolverine as well as Patrick Stewart as Professor Charles Xavier. Jackman and Stewart give stellar performances that make you believe that these are men on the ropes. You can feel the emotion and baggage each of them bear. The media has questioned whether superhero fatigue is setting in. What Logan does so well is that while it does depict characters that have super powers/abilities; it focuses on the human elements. What it's like to become older. Having responsibility for someone else thrust upon you. Wolverine's relationship with Laura (X-23) in particular is interesting to see develop over the course of the film. The film does kind of get bogged down in the 2nd act when they essentially find themselves on a road trip. But I was so invested in these characters by that point, that I was eager to see what happened next. The film is rated R and for good reason. If Deadpool is one end of the spectrum, Logan is on the other. The violence isn't comedic as it was in Deadpool. It accentuates and amplifies just how brutal Wolverine and his young ward can be. Logan is a great film that adds one more feather to Fox's cap after the success of Deadpool. It is my hope that Fox takes the right lessons from these two films in that with the right talent, direction, writing and respect of the source material, comic book films can be incredibly poignant.… Expand

The film is a new instalment in the X-Men universe and is the final film starring the centre characters of Logan (Wolverine) and Charles Xavier, showing them tasked with protecting a young girl.
What I love about this film is that it doesn't feel like your average superhero movie (evident from the trailers) and is instead a very human story, hence the title going for Wolverine's human name of 'Logan'. Over time we've seen people's expectations for comic book change quite drastically and we're in a period of time now where expectations are changing rapidly. However, this film bravely ignores the trends and goes for what it wants to be and I highly appreciate it for that.
To start off with, this movie does indeed have an R rating and is very brutal. I knew this was going to be something before I even saw it and I was kind of afraid whether or not this would be too big of a change from the previous X-Men films. Thankfully, the R rating felt necessary and required and if the film was PG-13 it would have nowhere near as much of an impact. The fact that more strong language is included too was another concern I had for it being too big of a change but it makes sense for the characters to use this language considering what stage they are at in their lives and didn't feel like it was there just for the sake of it.
The main three characters of the film are brilliant; Hugh Jackman gives a great performance as Logan and also Patrick Stewart gave a unique, emotionally deep performance as Charles Xavier, showcasing a side to the character I never thought I'd see. Newcomer Dafne Keen was also very promising as the new character Laura Kinney. Showing these characters at the dark point in their lives made for an overall more emotionally involving story and makes them discover each other in a much deeper way than they ever had before and for once the main characters feel like a family instead of just a team. The way they all interact was amazing to see and adds up to the overall 'human' theme of the story.
What I probably loved the most about the film (like I mentioned just then) is how it was a human story, ignoring the trends other comic book movies are going for and being what it wants to be. It's also clear that this is a film not made solely for the money but one for the fans; you can tell they aren't adding things in simply for extra money (for example the film wasn't shot in 3D), there's no big beam in the sky for the characters to fight at the end and it also takes into consideration what films do for people in real-life too, as in the end credits it says that the film help supply thousands of jobs and it's amazing to see when a film goes the extra level with thought like that, especially nowadays when most movies are made for the money.
Overall, I loved how much thought was put into this film and the fact that it was what it wanted to be, especially for the time period of superhero movies that we're in at the moment. The main cast give brilliant performances and was a great send-off for the characters we know and love. I did have one or two problems with the film (which will be in my spoiler section), however they weren't enough to hold down the film in quality. Even if they don't continue to make superhero films like this in the future, we'll always have Logan.
8.2/10
I've just got to mention that this was my most anticipated film of 2017 and the fact that I saw it the day it came out and also thought it was great made my day… Expand

Logan was a brutal,somber and entertaining film which was different from another other X-Men movie and followed in the steps of The Dark Knight pretty well.

Lets talk about how the R-rating worked in this film,i would say for the characterLogan was a brutal,somber and entertaining film which was different from another other X-Men movie and followed in the steps of The Dark Knight pretty well.

Lets talk about how the R-rating worked in this film,i would say for the character Wolverine it was awesome,the slashing(action),gore and language was better because of it but in the beginning it felt a bit forced as the first line of the movie is an "F" bomb,but after a few minutes everything felt natural.

The plot is very simple and very small which was good as the movie dives into deep character emotions & developments as Wolverine is old and bitter and i found it interesting how he was reluctant throughout the film and was only helping the girl in this movie to like get rid of her,but he isn't all bad as Logan cares for professor X & the their relationship is different from other films and for this dark and gritty movie it was well needed.

Although the tone of this movie was dark,gritty & somber there is some humor and fun to be had in this movie even if it's keep at a minimum,were humor was needed the movie did it nicely.The action was on point and i loved every bit of it,from chase scenes to the slashing the action was well done & glorious.Now the characters in this movie all had some purpose and meaning to their roles especially X-23(the little girl who is helped by Logan),she was awesome in her action sequences & her acting was good,Charles Xavier was also good in this movie as it shows him as an old,tired and beaten down Professor X who isn't as wise as he was and it was very interesting to see the growth or struggle of the character.

Hugh Jackman was amazing as always as Logan and his character is pitiful,bitter and you almost wonder if he is still a hero as he refuses to help people and doesn't are about anyone expect Charles and doesn't almost care about X-23 and the film portrays & explains why he is like that and it is very satisfying.

Another reason why this movie works and why it's so different in the superhero genre is that this film is sad and so emotional especially in the 1st and 3rd act of the movie,and since its a grounded movie the tone works nicely.What annoys me in this movie is the 2nd act whereby the film becomes a bit boring & since it was a more grounded movie it focus on some real world themes which sometimes worked and sometimes didn't & you start to notice that the movie is too long and some scenes that could have been cut out,but other than that the movie is fine.

Logan was a fascinating movie full of great action,emotion and depth,this was the Wolverine movie that makes a fitting end to Hugh Jackman's 17 year run as Logan.… Expand

Also, absolutely love Dafne Keen as Laura Kinney/X-23, she didn't speak for most of the movie, but did a darn great job every time on screen. Also enjoyed the dynamic between her character and Logan, would have liked a little more to the father/daughter relationship, but it was good nonetheless. There were somethings I wish could've been different, but a very solid film. Some other actors I thought that deserve praise Boyd Holbrook as Donald Pierce and Stephen Merchant as Caliban, both did great jobs. Overall, great R rated superhero film, western vibe, drama driven, brutal action. Also to me, the best of the Wolverine movies.… Expand

If you think, that MCU’s started quiet a long time ago, think again and look at Hugh Jackman, who’s been playing Wolverine for more than 17 years – symbolic that his character’s more than hundred years old. But this long run’s come to an end,If you think, that MCU’s started quiet a long time ago, think again and look at Hugh Jackman, who’s been playing Wolverine for more than 17 years – symbolic that his character’s more than hundred years old. But this long run’s come to an end, but what kind of it? The end we all dreamed of – brutal and enjoyable franchise’s epilogue with both dramatically and action satisfaction. Hugh Jackman’s brilliant smile has passed away, Logan’s grown some hairs and accepted hobo-style look – in the world of familiar comic book adaptations, such approach is really welcomed, especially in Wolverine’s case, who’s iconic and original image of severe killer was long-awaited by the fans and average viewers. Costumes and shining setting are gone, substituted by dystopic and urban landscapes, which’re perfectly matches title character’s inner world – broken and hopeless. Frankly, dark tone makes old and new heroes or villains look more mature and conversations between Stewart’s and Jackman’s aged Professor Xavier and Logan come to a new level from just professional to more family-style. Of course, it’s more because of wow-effect from new conception either from real franchise drama-development, but still it’s really cool. Especially, considering the fact that actors give fine performances of their characters, especially Boyd Holbrook, whose vicious Donald Pierce is the best villain in years. Even Dafni Keen’s character isn’t annoying at all, as it may concern previously. She’ isn’t much talking anyway, what’s a really smart move from creators. Director James Mangold’ new entry in comic genre includes high-stakes filming and the viewers are also now more demanding here and although he’s made a great job in style and concept, scenario has some significant flows. Yes, we have a minimum world description for comfort viewing, which includes automatic wagons and some new technologies descriptions, but the story background lacks of information – Mangolg gives only glimpses of what happened, why and how characters ended like this. This may upset some hardcore fans as well as universe development’s pretty weak with the feeling that film in every way tries to stay from X-Men franchise. However, the real concern about director’s work is movie’s rough final act – after emotional and thoughtful main part ending feels like directorproducer came out on the stage and said “we run out of time/budget and have to end this drama with typical superhero sequence”. Make no mistake, it’s not as bad as you may think, the problem isn’t so big, as it was in previous Wolvie movie, where after well-done narration has come a silly finale, but still it’s a bit upsetting. But nevetheless, even considering this issues “Logan” is a great story with complex characters and may be ranked as step forward for comic book movies with the chance, that in future we will get more adult-style adaptations with both satisfying dramatic and action features. “Logan” is barely can be named as a revolution in genre, but it’s a great example of a thoughtful storytelling combined with terrifying action-sequences - script issues can be easily forgiven, given the fact, that the major part is really great and now we can peacefully let go the classical character.… Expand

The story was great, great drama, interesting ideas and concepts...even if I didn't like the last 30 minutes, the ending was great, it was emotional and I got a teary-eye but the last third of this movie took a lot of the charm of the story for me.
But apart from that, the story was solid enough to keep me invested.

The characters were great, I never liked Wolverine but he's fantastic in this film, I really felt bad for him and he has great developpement. Xavier was my favorite character, he had his comedic moments but you feel so sorry for him and once you understand what happend to him and what he did, it honestly made me care for his character and the other characters were really good too... exept for the villain, it seems to be that it's very hard to make a good and memorable villain in super-hero films because I've never seen a good one (exept for dark knight), he was the weakest character and the weakest element in the film, it reminded me why I disliked the other X-men films so much, he's just another boring scientist...

The action scenes are really well made, this is the most violent x-men film I've seen and the brutal scenes are really satisfying to watch (sometimes hard to watch).

So even if it's not perfect, I do believe that Logan was a success, it has a great story, a great narrative and a fantastic emotional payoff, if you don't like super-hero films or X-men films, I would still recommend it.… Expand

It's no secret that the film had a huge legacy to keepWell here is a film I loved, for so many reasons. The acting was spot on from Jackman, Stewart, Merchant, Holbrook and Keen. Each portraying there characters with true emotions and grit. It's no secret that the film had a huge legacy to keep on it's shoulders, mainly due to the other brilliant Xmen and origin stories that have been produced in the series by Marvel. Personally I feel the film did well to carry the legacy of its franchise, while still showing us the complex relationships between the characters, as well as the more real life relationships between us and people who are different. I hope that it highlight that story to other people who see the film. Moving back to the acting, I have to give a special mention to keen, as for me she stole the show, with her passionate yet fierce portrayal, it's clear in the film that she has been damaged, and she shows this incredibly well for such a young actress. I personally think she has places to go yet.
Moving to the set and scenery it was produced well, the use of CGI wasn't so blatantly obvious in the background scenery as in other films. Generally its holds up as a great action/science-fiction film, I personally recommend going to see it as quickly as you can.… Expand

After 17 years and 10 appearances Hugh Jackman and director James Mangold bring us the Wolverine movie we always wanted.

Set in a run-down post-mutant future, Logan pitches itself as a character study of two former superheroes at the end ofAfter 17 years and 10 appearances Hugh Jackman and director James Mangold bring us the Wolverine movie we always wanted.

Set in a run-down post-mutant future, Logan pitches itself as a character study of two former superheroes at the end of their rope.

The legendary Wolverine is now a Las Vegas limo driver (a suitably sleazy profession for the film’s tone) scratching a living and doing his best to protect an ailing friend.

Although the film takes some inspiration from the Frank Millar graphic novel Old Man Logan, it’s key point of difference is also it’s greatest strength i.e. the inclusion of Patrick Stewart’s Charles Xavier.

Suffering from a degenerative brain disorder and struggling to retain his former self, this is a Professor X we have never seen before. At first this felt like a jarring shift for the character, especially given Charles’ new found foul mouth. As the story progresses though, the intricacies of Stewart's performance become clear and the true heartbreak of Xavier’s fate is felt. He has come a long way from the eloquent, sophisticated head-master of his School for the gifted, this is man who has lost himself.

What makes this character arc great though, is that here, in this comic book movie, Xavier hasn’t been turned to the dark side by some demi-god or manipulated by some contrived plot (see Magneto in Apocalypse) instead he is an older man who is battling his own age and mortality. It’s a great example of the X-Men films doing what they do best — humanising these larger than life comic book characters and making them relatable.

Despite this films title, for me the heart of Logan is Xavier and his relationship with those around him. He serves as father figure and continence to Logan throughout and anchors Hugh Jackman’s ageing hero.

Re-watching the previous X-Men/ Wolverine films also brings a greater sense of depth to this central relationship. In Jackman and Mangold’s previous effort 2013’s The Wolverine, Logan is described as a Ronin — a samurai without a master. When viewing Logan’s journey as a whole (and this movie serves as a definitive end for this interpretation of the character) it becomes clear that Xavier is and always has been Logan’s ‘master’. Before he met Charles, Logan was lost (‘when I found you, you we’re making a living as a cage fighter') when Charles was no longer around (if we have to treat The Last Stand as something that happened) Logan became a reclusive outsider we saw at the beginning of The Wolverine.

It is only when Charles is by his side that Logan has any sense of purpose and drive.

As the plot of Logan kicks in to gear and the second act gets going the protagonists are introduced to a new young mutant — Laura (Dafne Keen).

From there the film becomes a road movie of sorts as Laura is perused by a sinister organisation, hunted by Narcos alumni Boyd Holbrook as Pierce.

Although Laura is the driving force of the film’s story, from a character point of view she serves a much greater purpose, although this doesn’t become clear until the third act which, of course I won’t spoil.

As Logan and Charles are forced out of retirement we are treated to some spectacularly brutal action beats, the film fully embracing its ‘adult only' rating.

What impressed me most about the film, but can also be seen as a flaw, is the remarkable restraint it showed in terms of being a blockbuster comic book movie.

In press junkets and promotional material for tent-pole releases, actors and directors often wax lyrical about how ‘it’s all about character’ when more often then not, the ‘talky bits’ are just there to get us to the next action set piece.

In Logan however, James Mangold has really committed to the idea of a character driven comic book movie. Previous attempts often fall at the last hurdle, Batman Begins is a fantastic character piece until someone turns up with a mustache, a ‘microwave emitter’ and a plan to poison the city’s water supply in the third act.

Logan is not afraid to pump the brakes and really dig in to why everyone is doing what they’re doing, why they’re thinking what they’re thinking etc.

While this is a welcome change it also means the pacing of the movie is a little all over the place. When the action scenes kick in they are relentless, but they are few and far between which may disappoint fans hoping for a straight up action film.

When all’s said and done Logan is a rare beast — a comic book movie that transcends the genre and is just a great movie full stop. Brilliantly directed, perfectly acted and subtly written, Hugh Jackman’s X-Men swan song is no doubt an early entry into 2017’s top ten lists.… Expand

The plot may not be terribly original, but it moves quickly enough--with the exception of the second act--to remain engaging and provides sufficient tragic twists to make it emotionally investing. Hugh Jackman arguably gives his best performance as Logan as he allows the darkest sides of the character to roll forth in his facial expressions and spot-on line delivery. Logan is not for the faint of heart. Its brutal violence and dark themes are sure to make stomachs church and hearts ache. But this is the side of Wolverine that we have always wanted to see and it serves as a more than satisfying farewell to Marvel's beloved--if flawed--hero.

Wolverine is perhaps the most beloved character from X-Men film series, but his solo outings have been the most forgettable and/or full of s**t. Thankfully, we have Logan to break that trend. Still have issues with it, but I would acknowledgeWolverine is perhaps the most beloved character from X-Men film series, but his solo outings have been the most forgettable and/or full of s**t. Thankfully, we have Logan to break that trend. Still have issues with it, but I would acknowledge that it was one of the best films in X-Men series. .
.
Good : Hugh Jackman gives the most intense and gritty performance as Wolverine in his final film role as the adamantium clawed mutant. I have always loved him as Wolverine, but he has never been so good. Patrick Stewart does the same in his final role as Charles Xavier, and in his part, there's nothing to complain either. Dafne Keen as Laura - owns the film. Loved the kid as baby/lady Wolverine (X-23). The setting feels really different in this movie, compared to those of other X-Men films. It is obvious that they gave a Revisionist Western tone to the movie, which hasn't been done in the genre so far. It acknowledged the fact that it was inspired by Unforgiven, The Wrestler and Shane, which if had not been done, would've made it look like a ripoff. Not a total waste of a film, it has good parts, but still a copied idea without acknowledgement seems bad. Then, there is action. The actions are the best ones in the entire X-Men film series. The choreography is great to say the least. It looks badass, savage and intense. But there's one thing that this film does with action which most action films don't with these days. And that is, have the actions mean something. Every action scene has a purpose. It either sets up a characterization, or aggressively portrays what a character is feeling. Acting, action and the overall story won't disappoint. Also, all the characters are interesting. .
.
Mixed : There are some story issues. It feels as if there is a huge story that needs to be told between the altered timeline of DoFP and Logan. We get tiny little expositions for that matter and sound like much more interesting ideas for a better X-Men Apocalypse movie. This made the largely different characterizations feel totally out of place, for both Xavier and Logan. It works for the movie, I like it, but I don't buy it. It felt a lot out of the place and quite confusing with why they were so different. With all the movies in the series, I don't think they have given all the character development necessary for those changes. .
.
Bad : Mostly, it's the villain and some logic issues. There's a video narration/exposition which looked professionally edited with great voiceover, but was by a nurse who didn't even have 12 hours to do it, keeping aside the resources. Xander Rice doesn't feel so good of a villain. Nothing to blame Richard Grant, but just not a compelling villain. X-24 does have a frightening presence, I acknowledge that. But all his likeability depends upon the character arc of Wolverine over the years. Just take out the "humane" part of the character of Wolverine, and replace it with Terminator's menace. You'll get X-24. .
.
Conclusion : It's a good goodbye to Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. You can get the unpleasant satisfaction of seeing him die, and it does hit emotional notes a number of times and feel really saddening. But there are story and characterization issues which cannot be overlooked and to be honest, do not make a good sense. .

Many people have asked why the name Wolverine isn't in the title of the latest X-Men movie. The reason is that this film is not for children.

The reason is that this film is not for children. Logan is violent, vulgar, and disturbing, this film will give your kids nightmares. Logan is supposedly the last time Hugh Jackman will play Wolverine, it might also very well end the current X-Men film franchise, that has produced nine feature films and brought in billions of dollars. That being said, I expected an epic conclusion, the likes of which Marvel had never done before, and what I got was somewhat of a disappointment. It takes place in the future and yes, Logan is older, but he's still the Wolverine, so I was expecting a fair bit of fighting and chases, but it seems that was pretty much all this film has to offer. A deteriorating Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart) claims that even though a new mutant hasn't been born in decades, he is speaking to one that needs help, and as it turns out he was right. Logan and Prof. X go to rescue the child and bring her to safety, while the government tries to stop that from happening. I get that this is the future and there isn't time to fill us in on everything, but there are some major plot holes with the story that are never explained. This may be a Wolverine movie, but it is also the conclusion of the X-Men, so what happened to everyone and everything else? The stories narrow focus is on these three and getting to their destination, with chase after chase and fight after fight. The film certainly has it's moments and more than it's fair share of F bombs, but where was the whole conclusion element to it? The epic end to one of the biggest franchises in the history of film just isn't there. The big draw seems to be that they finally went for the R rating and showed Logan's true personality and yes, they made the film much more realistic than any other X-Men film, but I didn't have that satisfied feeling when it was all said and done. As for Hugh Jackman, this was easily his best performance as Wolverine. You see his real personality and all that comes with it, and if this wasn't the type of film that it was, released when it was, I truly believe people would be talking about an Academy Award, he was really that good. The harsh reality is that X-Men as we know it, with the cast that we know is probably over, but the way they ended it leaves us with too many unanswered questions and a feeling of unfulfilled promise.… Expand

A perfect farewell to the only mutant who had solo films in 'X-Men' franchise. I never understood 'X-Men', I thought it was the worst superhero film series I've ever seen. But 'Wolverine' was the only reason IA farewell and a welcome!

A perfect farewell to the only mutant who had solo films in 'X-Men' franchise. I never understood 'X-Men', I thought it was the worst superhero film series I've ever seen. But 'Wolverine' was the only reason I watched them all and particular, Hugh Jackman. There won't be Logan now onwards, though a set of new generation welcomed in this film, while saying goodbye to the old guys. So now what happens in the future of this franchise is a very suspense. Yet Logan had been the precious gem in the crown of 'X-Men', that mean it won't be the same anymore.

After many years passed in the future, the last survivours of mutants hiding their identity and living among the humans. Logan and two others were attacked by the armed men when he decided to help a child mutant. Running away from them and looking for a place where they can be safe prioritised in the narration. More dramatised film in the franchise, but there are enough actions those who desire for that.

It's an emotional time for the hardcore fans of Logan/Hugh Jachman. One final great performance by him and the little kid was also good. A well shot film, with minimum graphics and more realistic stunt sequences. Well, not all were real, too strong fights, too bloody, despite having a child actor in it. Yeah, it is a good film, I liked it, but not a masterpiece as you might have heard of. But anyway, it is a must see for the 'Wolverine' fans.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Good movie if a little over the top. They pull the heart string card a few too many times though I have to admit that I will be sad if Patrick Stewart never returns as Professor X... He was the absolute most perfect actor for the role and it will be near impossible to get a replacement. Certainly the new guy playing the younger professor was lame by comparison. The other deaths were not as big of deal though I am a fan of Jackmans Wolverine. The problem is, I just dont find Wolverine interesting. Actually I think he is downright boring and idiotic. The only thing going for him is his drive to do right but in all other aspects he was always a doorknob, even in the comics. So him dying does not matter too much. The only other complaint I had is why they couldnt get a real Spanish speaker for the girl? She had the worst Spanish accent I have seen in many years. So bad, that even I was able to spot it and Spanish is my 3rd language. Cant be that hard to find a Mexican actress in California...

Other than minor complaints, the movie was very enjoyable. Seeing these characters as old men was entertaining and watching Wolverine go up against his younger self was funny as well. I do enjoy watching bad guys get eviscerated and I like happy endings and this one had plenty of both. The villains were ok, certainly not as good as Magneto in the earlier films but adequate enough to glue the story together and keep me interested. Definitely see it if you have not.… Expand

Hell yeah! Finally a mainstream superhero movie for those who don't really care about superheroes, or have grown tired of all the cliches of the genre.

It's got R-rated action, it's got characters with some depth and also memorable acting, it's got heart. It still is not deep enough to be compared to the quality superhero TV series, of which there are many. And it loses some of its dramatic heft near the end due to lack of variety (not enough different stuff happening, the same type of events are always recurring). But all in all, the movie's good, and worth the hype it's gained.

The director and the film editor here deserves credit for the pacing and sustained level of tension and thrills. The new face of the young female lead adds a freshness long overdue in this genre.

A mixture of a comic-book film and a western. The action is raw and the characters are grounded. I gave this film extra points for going above my expectations. A must see for those who are a fan of the genre.

It's gritty and intense, but overshoots in trying to be a half-apocalyptic type story, when the good stuff is in the survival journey with Logan and Laura. And where it ends up results in a beautifully engrossing and personal conclusion to a character and series that touched our hearts so dearly. Farewell old friend.… Expand

I respected the hell out of how this movie was crafted (the acting! the cinematography! the wonderful little details!), but often felt like I was just going through the motions waiting for the next inevitable, repetitive plot point. Every time the movie takes a pit stop to ponder some interesting tangent, the trip is immediately jerked back on course, barreling towards it's final, thoroughly mapped-out destination. Watching this movie is like taking a road trip through Nebraska. The scenery is initially breathtaking and it seems like anything could be just beyond the horizon, but eventually as you make your way from Point A to Point B it all just kind of goes by in a dusty, hazy blur.… Expand

And because they can't quite yet portray preteen LGBTQTx2 characters, they are named the "Transigen" kids who wear t-shirts with rainbows on them... the overall lesson is for Wolverine to teach a feral young woman (who of course is the world's most powerful fighter, weighing in at 85lbs) to be compassionate, but not a single white male is spared their life. Hamfisted political dreck at its worst, a boring story at best. I love Wolverine but this is just as overrated and stupid as The Dark Knight Rises, with slightly less plot holes and dumber politics. Far more interested in virtue signaling than telling a good story. Predictable through and through. Missed opportunities in both fight choreography and tone. The setting in nonsense. Doesn't fit in with the world set up in the other X films. No better than the first movie, and worse than the second. Jackman saves it from being a fail. More humorous than expected. Meh.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The short story: Went in with high expectations, ended up disappointed, as the film was a slow burn and has too many clichés.
>
What's it like?: It’s 2029 and Wolverine/Logan is aging, which shouldn’t be because he’s supposed to be immortal. Prof X is dying and losing control of his mind power. A young girl, Laura, who has the same abilities as Logan, comes into their lives. They try to escape to Canada because Laura is wanted by hired men of Transigen, a genetics research company. It is a very violent road movie.
>
Pros: The path the film takes, where two major X-Men characters could be killed off, is brave and noteworthy. The acting, in general, is also good.
>
Cons: >
1. While the film tries to portray Logan’s and Laura’s fights as realistically as possible, it comes off very violent and in some areas, unnecessarily so.
>
2. Cliché #1: When trying to capture a person who has blades in their hands and has an accelerated healing ability, do send in a bunch of regular soldiers without any special weapons. >
3. Cliché #2: While on the run from murderous chasers, do accept the kindness of a family to stay overnight at their home and do risk them getting killed.
>
4. Laura’s initial muteness, mid-film speeches in Spanish and speeches in another language in the final third of the film are inconsistent and they were not explained.
>
5. The supposed motivation behind Transigen use of excessive numbers of soldiers just to capture Laura is not well explained, particularly if you consider what is revealed in the final third of the film. Too much focus on just one person.
>
6. Richard E. Grant’s character, the supposed arch-villain, was insufficiently developed and was killed off too easily. He should have some kind of an ace-in-the-hole to avoid dying so easily.
>
7. The film is slow in many parts, thereby making it less of an action film. This could disappoint a lot of people. Estimated US Box office takings: $150m.
>
8. Cliché #3: When the situation turns grim, a couple of people would pluck up their courage and chip in with their special abilities to defeat their common enemy, whereas they were not keen to use their abilities before this. >
How would the different age groups rate it?
Children: (The film is not rated for them)
Teenagers: For those who can see this R-rated, it’s an Average. Young adults: Average
Medium age adults: Average
Old adults: Poor
My rating: 3/5 (no half scores). Save your money and watch it on TV.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Expectation: Word that defines itself in expecting much for something, great desire, a strong belief that something will happen or be the case in the future.
When I left the theater I did not take a thought from my head: " Missed Salt." Do not get me wrong, I'm a fan of Wolverine (HQs) and the movie has great moments, which I even imagined, with wit in some lines, funny ones and the courage to show the legendary characters in decadence. But on the other hand I can not stop thinking that some elements of the story could be much better. If I could talk to the creative or script team to be able to suggest everything I think and that could have improved the film (in humility). I'll segment:
1. The villains are weak and shallow and the clone did not interest me. First of all, to replace the doctor "I do not know who" by Dr. Sinister, the whole story could have revolved around a very evil scheme of Dr. Sinister, the virus or whatever it was that had decimated the mutants, etc. .
2. Instead of the clone, it could have been a robot equal to Wolverine, an equal cyborg in the comics. Or an alternative was also to have used Wolverine's son: Daken.
Daken is bloodthirsty, “blood in the eyes”, he could have killed all that family in the same way without remorse, but I do not think he would be easily controlled like the Clone.
3. The end was rough, the mutant powers of the children, so ... "childish" ... if they were what was left of the mutants, experiment with the blood of Jean Gray or Magneto, what I mean, more powers Cool and "Ice breath", etc ...
4. The son of Wolverine could be an experiment too and could have escaped before or have an appearance that warranted a future film with the X-23 and the latest mutants, or a fight between "family." I just know that, it would generate another huge Hype.
Otherwise the movie holds the tips ! Oh and it's kind of dead in the end, it did not move me and I just thought I'd end it.

Em Português:
Expectativa: Palavra que se define em esperar muito por algo, grande desejo, vontade de algo!
Ao sair do cinema não tirei um pensamento da cabeça: "Faltou Sal". Não me entenda mal, sou fã do Wolverine (Quadrinhos) e o filme tem ótimos momentos, momentos estes que eu não previ imaginar, com sagacidade em algumas falas, outras engraçadas e a coragem para mostrar os personagens lendários em decadência. Mas por outro lado não consigo parar de pensar de que alguns elementos da história poderiam ser bem melhores. Se eu conseguisse falar com a equipe criativa ou de roteiro para poder sugerir tudo que eu penso e que poderia ter melhorado o filme (na humildade). Vou segmentar:
1. Os vilões são fracos e rasos e o clone não me despertou interesse. Primeiro de tudo, substituir o doutor "sei lá quem" pelo Dr. Sinistro, toda a história podia ter girado em torno de um esquema bem maligno do Dr. Sinistro, o vírus ou seja lá oque foi ter dizimado os mutantes, etc...
2. Ao invés do clone, poderia ter sido um robô igual ao Wolverine, um ciborgue igual nas HQs. Ou uma alternativa também era ter usado o filho do Wolverine: Daken.
Daken é sanguinário, sangue nos "zóio", ele podia ter matado toda aquela família da mesma forma sem remorso, mas não acho que ele seria facilmente controlado como o Clone.
3. O fim ficou tosco, os poderes mutantes das crianças, tão... "infantis"... se eles foram oque sobrou dos mutantes, façam experiência com o sangue do Magneto, da Jean Gray, oque eu quero dizer, poderes mais legais e não bafo de gelo, etc...
4. O filho do Wolverine poderia ser mais uma experiência e poderia ter escapado antes ou ter uma aparição que justifica-se uma futuro filme com a X-23 e os últimos mutantes, ou uma luta entre "família". Só sei disso, geraria um outro Hype enorme.
De resto o filme segura a onda! Ah e é meio morto no final, não me comoveu e só pensei em acabar logo.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Logan is a good movie in some parts (mainly in the beginning). Although this review will probably trigger some of the diehard fans here, much of the film actually has a lot of issues which people seem to be overlooking. If you enjoy the original Xmen films and won't get mad over valid criticisms presented here, feel free to read on. The film does well in many parts: action - amazing and visceral, leaves you speechless. I thought the villain played by Boyd Hollbrook was played very well. Acting in this movie is very good -especially Dafney Keen, the girl who plays X-23. The film is also very funny which is always a good thing.

However, I believe these are the major flaws of the film that prevents it being anywhere as good as X2 or Days of Future Past:
1) Structurally it's very simple (which is fine) but it's so predictable in narrative events. What you essentially have in this film is a an action set piece, then followed by dialogue/character building. Its arguably one of the laziest scripts I've ever seen due to the fact they repeat the same thing after they first retreat from the farm. For example in the midpoint of the film, after they are chased out of a hotel they were residing in, they literally for no reason (despite being on the run) stay at some farm guys house after helping their horses. It makes absolutely no sense given the Transigen troops were after them (with seemingly unlimited resources). And then this is repeated again, when they again stop at the Eden get away.

2) Emotionally this film wasn't that strong. I like the beginning when Logan is taking care of Charles showing the care he has towards his father figure, despite the fact Professor X has lost all of his agency as a character. It is sad, yet emotionally satisfying because it is not artificial. However, this is never developed any further due to the fact the film wanted use to then relate Logan with X-23. So when Charles kinda just dies, it was one of the less impactful deaths of X-Men (I hold X3 death of Charles far superior here). The relationship between X23 and Wolverine also falls flat because they never spend enough time alone to get that relationship. You never really feel Logan is making a choice about his daughter because they never really speak. This was evident in the final act when Logan was seemingly prepared to just let X23 go off and only decided to help once he saw the troops advancing on their position. 3) Score was barely existent, cinematography was average at best (but I did like the beginning 2049 look of America with driveless trucks etc). 4) Lazy tropes. Xander Rice magically appears in the mid point of the film to become another villain and he brings the most generic villain ever which was a clone of Logan. 5) **** kids actor with CGI powers come up at the end. I thought this was suppose to be a grounded film. They also decide to sit there half the time, and only conveniently use their powers where the plot requires them to do so. 6) Chekhov's gun is abused in this film. Adamantium bullet magically shows up to counter clone Logan, magically green power boost potion needed one more time for hero - but then magically evaproates once the noobs are taken out, photo of children conveniently has their secret revendouz point spelt out on the back and surives a grenade explosion. 7) Stupid scene where Caliban blows himself up to also kill Donald Pierce, but is miraculously fine straight after. We also later see the body of Caliban is also not torn to shreds despite 1m from approximity of grenade- WTF? - but even more stupid is the redundant random line said by the villain saying his tissues are good for marking, despite the fact we wont be ever seeing this timeline again and nothing happens with that tissue. 8) Wolverine back get pierced by wood despite having a skeleton made of that stuff. Also stops healing for no reason - we saw earlier in the film that bullets and wounds were still healing albeit slowly.

9) Action was great at start but got tedious. Also too many close ups, wasn't very clean shots by the end. Hopefully, these points highlight the objective flaws of the film. Logan is still a good film, but to say it's best Xmen film would be doing a disservice to X2 and Days of Future Past (and maybe First Class).… Expand

Je me suis dit qu'un hommage à ce pauvre vieux Hugh qui n'en finit plus de végéter dans ces conneries de "X-men" et compagnie était davantage de circonstance.

Oh rien d'alarmant, car je crois que notre cher Hugh se porte comme un charme et mérite bien mieux que ce débris de Logan, "Wolverine" fatigué et mutant dépassé bon pour la casse... Il se retrouve à son grand dam et de façon fort impromptue propulsé au range de papa-poule protecteur d'engeance(s) mutante(s). Une relation qui fait penser à celle de Terminator 2 bien que moins développée ici, plus maladroite, plus bourrue (Logan est un bourrin) et moins intéressante -sauf à la fin.

Evidemment, je n'ai pas vu la litanie des précédents "X-Men" trucmuches, alors les nombreuses allusions m'ont totalement échappé, ce qui n'est pas non plus rédhibitoire dans la compréhension d'une histoire fort simple au demeurant, composée de vilains à la poursuite de gentils.

On peut regretter quelques baisses notables de rythme dûes à un scénario qui ne peut tenir les 2h17 qu'on lui impose ! de même, on regrette un montage et un cadrage aussi nerveux l'un que l'autre, lors des bastons récurrentes certes enragées mais assez peu lisibles.

Il reste tout de même une ambiance "fin de règne" assez plaisante avec ce Logan surmené qui se coltine un vieux grabataire et une gamine mal élevée aux crises d'ultra-violence très colériques... c'en est presque drôle. Et très inattendu finalement.… Expand

Logan, I feel, is a tad overrated and not as good as everyone is making it to be. Sure, it's not bad, but I feel it doesn't deserve all the praise. I couldn't help but be disappointed when the credits rolled.

Characters: I honestly didn'tLogan, I feel, is a tad overrated and not as good as everyone is making it to be. Sure, it's not bad, but I feel it doesn't deserve all the praise. I couldn't help but be disappointed when the credits rolled.

Characters: I honestly didn't get the whole "he's so pained and tortured, and it's easy to forget this is a superhero movie because of the character development." Superhero movies still have character development. Maybe some don't have the best, but it's still there. And while I do admire this movie for focusing more on the characters and their problems, I didn't feel for Logan a whole lot all the time. Sure, I know he was sad and could tell the pain he was in that he'd accumulated throughout his life. But he was just kind of grumpy and sad and acted the same. One thing I did like about the movie was that Wolverine and most characters didn't need some long monologue or anything describing how sad they are. You know the pain they're going through. What I'm trying to say is that I don't think this movie deserved AS much praise for its character substance. Sure, the movie pulled it off pretty well, and for a superhero movie it's good I guess, but it didn't blow me away.

Acting: The acting is very good. Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart both do an excellent job portraying the older, more pained versions of themselves. You could really tell the difference between them in older movies and them in this movie. They really showed that they are pain and are suffering. Dafne Keen was also good, though she didn't get to do much in terms of acting range until the end.

Action: I was never a huge fan of Wolverine's action, as it gets kind of repetitive. Pretty much all of his killing sprees are "stab stab stab stab stab stab, get shot, stab stab, get shot again, stab stab stab, cut off arm, stab stab stab, slit throat, stab stab stab." I'm not saying it wasn't well done, as the action scenes were sort of cool and darker than the past. However, it got kind of boring as it does with most of his action scenes. The best parts of the action scenes were the parts with choreography, like Laura running and jumping off his back and landing on a guy, or Laura using her foot blade and becomes more acrobatic when fighting, like Black Widow. Stuff like that added more diversity to the otherwise repetitive action.

Plot: It's basically just a 2 hour and 20 minute chase scene. This doesn't mean it's a bad movie, but I was hoping for a bit more, and it wasn't even a super exciting chase plotline. At least a movie like Mad Max: Fury Road, which was basically a long chase scene, just had non-stop, well-done and perfectly executed action sequences, where this movie has inconsistent parts throughout, slowing down the movie. When he meets the family halfway through, the entire momentum of the story just stops for 20 minutes. There also wasn't really a definitive bad guy. I'm guessing this was because they wanted to focus on Logan and the characters more, which I don't have a problem with, but then I didn't really have anyone to go against. I wanted more motivation for Logan to escort Laura. Sure, he wants to do something good and she's his daughter of course, but if there was a more defined bad guy, even just a few more minutes distinguishing a villain, I would feel more like "yeah Logan! Go get Laura to wherever they're going! I want you to beat that guy!" or something. Instead I just feel like "ah, just kill this guy that looks like Ryan Gosling who's supposed to be a villain and get to wherever you're going" instead.

Overall, Logan is a bit slow at times with not much to compensate for. I must say I had high expectations from the pretty high ratings from critics and very positive reviews from fans and friends. Unfortunately, Logan did not live up to those expectations. I guess I would recommend it because a basic fan of superhero movies would probably like it since so many did. It wasn't a complete waste of time, and I may have given it a 7 if I didn't have such high expectations.… Expand

For many of us who were watching the 90's X-Men animated series - although he wasn't the strongest of Professor X's team - Wolverine was by far the top favorite X-Men hero among kids at kindergarten, because he simply looked badass in his yellow suit, but also stubborn as Batman.
In 2000, Hugh Jackman has been announced to play Wolverine in the first X-Men movie. 17 years and nine movies later, Jackman signed his "last movie as Wolverine" entitled 'Logan'.

Logan's first trailer instantly caught my eye: its serious tone and darker take, the likes of The Dark Knight, Daredevil and Watchmen to name a few, is about to become a new standard, in a world where comic book movies are labelled by default as Hollywood blockbusters or family entertainment. Here in 'Logan', the first and second don't qualify. The movie is extremely violent compared to the other X-Men movies, if not more than any comic book adaptation released so far, and it was shot to look like an independent low budget type of movie.

First thing I noticed after watching 'Logan': it's a movie based on the X-Men franchise... without really wanting to be based on it (?). Simply said: I feel like it was only a X-Men by the name. Basically, you could remove any X-Men reference to 'Logan' and you're practically going to get the same movie. This is a dangerous zone because the only thing that such X-Men association will do onto an independent type of movie, is to build expectations towards the X-Men part of the movie, which was clearly lacking in 'Logan'.

The originality and the will to make a different movie has to be considered. This is what holds th house of cards together, along with a state of the art direction. The project initiated from that idea.

Then, passed its unique independent movie aspects and serious tone, the movie lacks in continuity and story. You will find the movie long, very very long to watch. Not that because the movie is actually long (2:20), but because the script is rather weak. Story-wise, which is influencing the script, it also fails to justify several scenes, leading to a few incoherencies; towards the end of the movie, we still have questions regarding Laura (Logan's daughter) and Charles Xavier. There were important questions asked throughout the movie and we don't really get the answers.

My feeling after watching the movie is that, overall, the director does seem to have a lot of experience in everything X-Men and big budget movies, but no experience at all when the time comes to shoot more serious independent movies type. I believe you should watch it with no expectation. It's not a good X-Men, but a good movie nonetheless. The psychology and profoundness of this movie is by far superior than any other Marvel.

To this, we can't be more thankful to Hugh Jackman for having greatly played a comic book character the longest - 17 years as Wolverine, quite an achievement. His last interpretation is certainly one for the books.… Expand

Let me get this straight, this movie is good and I recommend it but I dont think it is as good as people say it is. This is the Wolverine movie I have ever wanted just not as good as it could have been. I loved the fact that this movie isLet me get this straight, this movie is good and I recommend it but I dont think it is as good as people say it is. This is the Wolverine movie I have ever wanted just not as good as it could have been. I loved the fact that this movie is really violent and has a lot of curse words and it is a grittier, more realistic, darker portrayal of the Wolverine. This movie defies genre conventions to the extreme but maybe that serves as a bad point too. Maybe I am just not used to see a Wolverine movie with an R rating and such brutal violence but a lot of people think this is an vantage point. Hugh Jackman is great in this movie and you get to see him portray the Wolverine in a whole new way. The movies plot is kind of dumb and when I really thought about it , a lot of the things that happened didnt really seem to make sense and for the tone this movie is going that has got to be the worst thing they could have posibly done. So youre telling me that when Logan is watching that video of the kids on the phone, she edited that just for Logan to watch it and bee like "now the audience gets what was happening in that Hospital", seriously, and how did the people at the Hospital didnt notice a person filming their clearly illegal activities. For example the little girl only says a word almost at the end of the movie and there is no reason for her not to be talking during the rest of the movie. So all and all this movie is good and I am sure a lot of people will love it but it is just not for me.… Expand

Logan was a great movie. It would've been so much more enjoyable if it hadn't been so hyped up, I was looking forward to watching this as I thought it'd be a different superhero film but the only thing that is different is the fact that it's R-Rated.

Decent but forgettable. Enjoyed but would not watch again. Nothing memorable about the movie. Far too much Marvel fanboyism behind the upvotes. Far too many nods to comic lore instead of real content.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really don't see why everyone is so ready to praise this film. It's mediocre at best. Not great as a superhero movie, not great as a western. A campy slow building film with shallow villains with nonsensical motivations. A plot that has enough short sightings to make one cringe *spoilers* 1.Let's go to canada where we will be safe when the villians are already crossing borders from mexico and could care less about borders. 2. Let's Kill all of the children from the experiments but wait lets take the GIRL ALIVE. *end spoiler* **** exposition leaving the viewer confused as to where the **** all of the x-men are and why all of them are dead. Lot's of gore to the point of being goofy (lot's of face stabbing). LOTS OF FACE STABBING. FACE EXPLOSIONS. shallow character deaths and depths, with little to no emotions. Everyone saying it's the perfect 'goodbye' is officially an emotionaless zombie. They died in vain to what their characters stood for. The movie truges slowly for the middle hour and half to point of incredible boredom with logane doing nothing but cursing or staring at the road or his companions. Notable mentions are Patrick stewarts attempt at somwhat redeeming the movie (somewhat). All in all the praise for this movie is undeserved. It's a shortsighted overproduced campy gorey goofy and shallow movie. A shallow ending for a hero that's been in the X-men series for over a decade.… Expand

I think they focused too much on the violence and not enough on fixing the paper thin plot. The amount of growls and yells by Jackman outnumbers the amount of spoken sentences through out and I think that is a big issue. Old Man Logan is suchI think they focused too much on the violence and not enough on fixing the paper thin plot. The amount of growls and yells by Jackman outnumbers the amount of spoken sentences through out and I think that is a big issue. Old Man Logan is such an original comic and they did a poor job translating it to film. This should have been a more dialogue heavy film and it wasn't. They switched the dialogue for action and while that may sell a bit more tickets, It robs us of what could have been the crown jewel of the X-Men series.

Case in point - Patrick Stewart was fantastic as a old and fading Professor Xavier and I felt he was the best part of the film. I would have liked to see more of him on screen because he stole every second of the short time he was in the film. Jackman was solid but I do think he was a tad bit overrated because this is his final time portraying the character as nearly 20 years doing so.

The action scenes were ok but they did a poor job with the CGI and things were very noticeably fake during said scenes. Like when Logan is impaled on the tree branch. I just found it funny that they put so much emphasis on the action and do such a poor job at it.… Expand

Not a bad film, but weighted down but repetition and a very long running time. Predictable, illogical, stretcher of credulity to the breaking point. Worth watching if you have the time to spend, but don't expect a superior movie.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Oh, how desperately I wanted to enjoy this movie, but alas, I was disappointed. I want to start off by saying I am not criticizing this film because of some petty fanboy war going on in the comic book world right now, and I hope fans of this movie won't simply dislike this review because of the yellow score, and will listen to the critiques I give it.

Let's start with the positive aspects. The acting in this was fantastic. Hugh Jackman gives a powerhouse performance. The girl who plays X-23 is great for the little amount of lines she is given. I will watch just about anything with Patrick Stewart in it, and his performance didn't disappoint. Second, Emotionally, this film rocks. The connections between characters are strong, and there are some genuinely touching moments (especially towards the end of the second act, and the entire third).

Now the cons. First, the violence in the film. Violence in movies should ALWAYS have a decent justification to be there. Whether to entertain, or provide drama and tension. "logan" could have very well have been toned down (Even to the point of being PG-13) and it would have been just as (or more) entertaining. In the tension/Drama department is where this film kind of screws itself. Because the entire film is soaked in blood, the climax is somewhat deflated and lacking in tension. Nothing about the "final battle" seems more dire or desperate than other tussles in the film. We see the wolverine get viciously torn up in a scene taking place on a farm, and nothing seems more dangerous or threatening in the last fight. In fact, you barely feel concerned for the characters at all, because the nemesis in the fight during the resolution was one they already encountered, and survived earlier. On top of that, the villains in this film are severely lacking, mainly because they're all cliches. One is an evil scientist, One is a clone of Wolverine (Cough* Terminator 2 *Cough), and one is a leader of a big bad government agency, the kind that we've seen in countless films like the Bourne trilogy, transformers 4, and other spy themed adventures. Lastly, the action scenes in "Logan" become boring and tedious after two hours. In most action movies there are things to help the audience differentiate one action scene from another. Take The "Mission: Impossible" series for instance. In "Rogue nation" one scene takes place at the opera, on a catwalk. Another on a plane taking off. Another underwater, in which the hero has to hold his breath while completing a task. Unfortunately Logan is not like this. Each action scene is the same. Guns and Claws. Guns and Claws. The location of the fights may change, but the circumstances don't. There are no obstacles that force the characters and action to adapt to their surroundings. It's just a slash-fest.

Overall, I'll probably see it again, because I enjoyed the parts between the characters. It's just a shame that in the mean time I have to endure 2 hours of tedious and grueling face stabbing.… Expand

Although one is not yet a part of this fascist organization to redeem hope to America. He isIt is 2029, and mutations are still looked at as potential weapons for border patrol purposes. No longer are the mutants considered human, but tools. Although one is not yet a part of this fascist organization to redeem hope to America. He is the long-lasting hero who we have looked up to for over fifteen years, the one who we have experienced many highs and lows with, the one who Hugh Jackman is now making his adieu to, yes, he is Logan, or as some would know him, Wolverine.

But it’s not all fun and games anymore, with a crisp, well-earned R rating to match the red on dust violence this franchise needed. Director James Mangold (Kate & Leopold, Walk the Line) makes the most of Logan’s legacy with the bloodiest action you’ll see this spring. Especially with the backdrop upon the Mexican border, this gritty view of classic comic books feels more like a modern day western than a popcorn flick.

Logan’s first mode of action is taking down several immigrants attempting to steal one of his hubcaps. Then he receives a request from an unknown Mexican woman, demanding he escorts a little silent girl named Laura to North Dakota. His motivation for this is low, until three motivations erupt. One, he watches an upsetting video of mutant children in hospitals forcefully trained to become soldiers as if in a concentration camp. Two, she is one of these mutant children. Three, she is his daughter. So now with her on the road with him as well as Professor X, Logan learns his responsibility to punish those who neglect the gifts of these mutants.

While the overall look of this journey looks nice, cinematographer John Mathieson (Gladiator) constantly sets up horrible lighting arrangements that make the backgrounds lighter than the subject’s face. It becomes especially problematic, I might add, when he films the action scenes super up close, with nothing but a forgettable musical score to back it up. This is not the only thing that hurts the tension of the action scenes, but the aftereffects of the turmoil are weak, with no thanks to the unconvincing makeup effects. If you don’t believe me, look at the albino man who serves as Logan and Professor X’s personal assistant: The pale texture of his skin looks plastered on from at most ten minutes in the makeup chair.

At least that’s a minor complaint. Compare that to the stellar performances by Dafne Keen and Patrick Stewart, and this may just as well be the greatest achievement based off a Marvel comic. Stewart in particular steals the show with his aged, frail curtain call of a presence that just disorients your expectations further whenever he gets a seizure.

With such a humble grandfather figure here to ground us into the foundation of this world, it’s too bad that there’s nothing else in the backdrop to give us a sense of Mexico’s and Texas’ true culture. The latest Academy Award nominee Hell or High Water delved quite a bit into this culture, but the closest that Logan gets to in creating the social pressures is a brief moment in a casino, and a villain with a really bad accent. Nothing else about the look of this world looks authentic enough to buy into.

The other moral implications are also quite problematic. We all can understand that bloody adult-rated violence can lead to viewers imitating it in real life, but judging by the character of Logan as a father, he takes several actions that make me question whether he’s worth looking up to as a role model. Shortly after he brings in his daughter to escort her, she robs from a convenience store (since she grew up in a hospital and thus doesn’t know any better). While he does discipline her for attacking the clerk who tries to stop her, he robs from the store himself—and in a moment that is mostly played for laughs. Is this really the role model people should be looking up to?

But then again, this type of gritty realism proves just how far superhero movies, and superheroes in general, have come since their rising popularity. All three of the protagonists: Logan, Laura, and Professor X, learn what it means to live in this wild frontier known as the United States, as represented by the professor’s favorite motion picture, the classic western Shane.

While he may not have always been the perfect sort of hero for us to look up to over the years, it has been a great pleasure having Logan around to entertain and teach us about what’s really worth fighting for. So long, Wolverine. Thank you for your endeavors over the years, and thank you for leaving a strong legacy for the upcoming generation of mutants at heart.… Expand

The main draw of this movie is that it's not PG-13. It's a breath of fresh air for the superhero genre, otherwise the rest of the movie is just okay. (there is one bit of absolutely fantastic CGI)

That pretty much makes the earlier X-Men films moot, and seem a bit pointless - Logan is a very nihilistic statement on the X-Men characters and past X-Men movies.
