It starts off they way it should showing you what type of movie your in for. The introduction is strong showing what happened to Wolverine and his current story while introducing the villain all at the same time. This movie perfectly balances it's strong brutal violence with strong emotional scenes throughout the whole 2 hour and 21 minute run-time. The way some of the action scenes kept you stressed and on the edge of your seat leaving you breathless but you have to see this more than just an action movie full of nitty-gritty violence. The emotional and strong messages that were included in this movie were strong and effective. The acting from every character is powerful and believable especially that of Dafne Keen who plays X-23. Altogether this movie is a perfect, bloody and emotional sendoff for Hugh Jackman and the pay-cut he took to get the R rating was greatly appreciated. You will be missed after a great 17 years. Great work James Mangold.

I thinkThis movie is pretty unrelenting in its bleakness and horror, but it bring to light a new side of Wolverine and the struggles of a long life. The action scenes are superb and it certainly earns its R rating right from the get go. I think First Class may be my favorite of the X-Men film, in part because it felt like something new and changed the game for the franchise. Logan feels less like a game-changer and more like a game-ender and is the perfect sendoff for Jackman and Stewart. I can't imagine how X-men will follow this up, but I'm eager to see if they can build on the breath of fresh air this gave them.… Expand

Logan is not a cliché tale of a group of heroes fighting a villain to stop the end of the world, but rather a journey of self-discovery and new meaning for James Howlett.

The child that played X-23 did a really great job playing the role. I know in the comics that she's much older than nine but I'm going to let this one pass. The ending was really sad but I won't spoil it for ya. Overall, this was the best entry in the X-men series and undeniably the best Wolverine movie ever!

He's working as a chauffeur (driving a beautiful Chrysler limo) attempting to stay unnoticed in a near future world where most mutants have died out. When a young girl with special powers shows up, he's forced into take her on the run. This is a more intimate take on the superhero genre. Yes, there are several great claw-slashing scenes, but there's also a more personal drama and less flashy special effects. Writer/director James Mangold has given the film a bleak personal perspective and managed some nice twists to keep it interesting. While not breaking any new ground for cool visuals, it does break the mold with a more dramatically compelling (yet still action fused) take on the genre. NOTE: Don't be late. There's a funny new promo for DEADPOOL 2 right before the film.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Logan is a marquee movie of the superhero genre. A nearly flawless film and a fantastic sendoff for Jackman. The first action sequence with Laura (X-23) is a perfect introduction to the well deserved R-rating film. As much blood and gore as a Tarantino film, decapitated heads, gratuitous stabbing, and bloody slashes, clawed uppercuts to skulls. This movie while accompanied by much action and blood but it is a strong character development film. Charles Xavier is a great senile old man and a great father figure. Logan is stubborn about refusing a happy family and that remains consistent until the very end.
Pacing, action, characters, all is great. Without prior knowledge of X-Men or Wolverine it still stands as a strong action & sci-fi movie.… Expand

It may be by my own doing, but my extremely high expectations for this film going in led to a bit of disappointment in some areas. Don't get me wrong, this was easily the best solo Wolverine outing. However, in my opinion, it's far from being the best X-Men film overall (personally, I enjoyed Days of Future Past and Deadpool the most.) Some have even gone as far as to say that this is Marvel's "The Dark Knight", and that it's just as good, if not, better than that film. I certainly wouldn't go as far as to say that either unfortunately. Anyway, with all of that out of the way, this was still a solid and entertaining final outing for Wolverine with all of the grittiness and hard violence that the fans had asked for over and over again for the longest time, not unlike last year's "Deadpool" as well (btw, he does have his own humorous little intro at the very beginning of the film.) Hugh Jackman is better than ever, with his portrayal of Wolverine feeling more humanistic and vulnerable than before. Like I said before, the action is top-notch and the violence and blood ever so present like what we had hoped for all this time in a Wolverine film. The film did an excellent job of really getting things interesting and going in the first half with the story and action. However, it's the second half where my disappointment began to settle in, as the story, as well as the final 20-30 minutes in particular began to feel rushed and the ending also felt pretty underwhelming and rushed for me overall. It definitely left me feeling that our silver-clawed friend deserved a much bigger sendoff rather than the underwhelming and rushed one that was given instead. Overall, this was still the best Wolverine film by far, but unfortunately, it didn't quite fully live up to the hype for me and I didn't find myself loving it like I had so hoped. Nevertheless, it's still a very entertaining and action-packed addition to the X-men franchise, and one that allowed Hugh Jackman to give us a well-meaning and powerful final performance in his career-making role.… Expand

Before I start my review I'd like to thank to everyone who contributed to making this masterpiece.

This has been the best movie I've seen in many years. It was an emotional rollercoaster. You laugh, you cry, you get excited when you see those claws used in a proper manner. The movie is Rated R, thus it's bloody gore. You finally get to see what Wolverine is meant to be... a brutal animal.

All the actors performed beautifully in this movie. The sound the effects the scenario which leaves only minor gaps when it ends are all beautiful. The cinematography is great. The atmosphere of despair is even better than the opening of X-Men Days of the Future Past. I wont say anything but if you are an X-Men fan like me, go out and see this movie. This movie deserves all the attention it can get.

Really sad to see Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart leaving their mantles with this last movie. Thank you for all the good feelings and thank you for making my childhood better.

So this is what it feels like... to be old.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I would rather a movie be flawed while trying to achieve greatness, than be generic. Logan is a fantastic ride. Things I loved - 1. The kid. Great stuff from her
2. The atmosphere. Chilling stuff
3. Logan himself
4. The sendoff

Things I had a problem with - 1. The ending felt abrupt and incomplete. (I get it. This is Logan's story, and it end on his grave. But when talking about the narrative of the story, they left a gaping hole in the end. It is like playing a video game till the end and finding out the ending will be part of the next installment)
2. Professor X's death. This was to be a big moment. Could (should) have milked it better. (I do like that his death came after he had the best night he had in a long time)
3. The vagueness. I don't know if I missed something (maybe I did) but I feel like not all about this whacky universe was explained. (I did not see x-men apocalypses; so maybe that's why).

But all in all, the movie was still GREAT and I would definitely put it among the top superhero movies ever.… 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!

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

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.

As a guy how tired from silly and over hyped comic book flicks I found this one more seriously and far more enjoyable than than latest DC or Marvel movies. 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

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

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

Its a fantastic film period. I've never really been into the X-Men universe but Logan caught my eye as it focuses more on emotion, character development, and relationships rather than on CGI action and over the top spectacle. The film tells a brutally realistic story about an old beaten Wolverine who wants to move on in life but gets pulled back into a problem. But this problem is very personal to Logan, making for the characters to really shine and resonate with you long after seeing the movie. I loved all the performances; from of course Logan, to Professor X, to the little girl, to the villain, etc. The direction and writing were excellent, the cinematography was fantastic, and the gore and practical filming locations really added to the realism and tone of the story.

I believe it could’ve been more faithful to the source material though splintered fractions of Marvel characters hindered it.

Logan is right next to Nolan's Dark Knight of pictures that transcend the genre. Notice that the expected Violence (this is VERY R-Rated) feels also real and natural and although graphic, it never happens without purpose and justification.

This movie was so gratifying. In a world populated by Marvel and DC movies, this one could be a game changer in more ways than expected… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First you cannot give this movie 0. You are not a critic. Does the movie have flaws? absolutely! But we need to see the bigger picture. Logan in its sense is not a stereotypical superhero movie. This movie is for mature audiences it is not kid friendly. Just like Clint Eastwood did to westerns, Logan changes the aspect and reality of the superhero genre to make a movie that could exist in our own timeline in today's world. With heavy influences from Shane this really was logans last stand and it was done perfectly. It may not have the big sendoff that his death in the comic universe did however cover raw emotion and looked at themes around aging friendship family and living with your life choices. A few things I was disappointed at were we did not get the iconic suit and I felt that the end boss was a bit cliché (really wanted it to be sabertooth). However after thinking about it logans ultimate enemy was always himself! I am sad to hear that this could be the last time we see Hugh and Patrick however they did this film and their characters justice... Roll on deadpool 2!… 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

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.

Genuine emotion and strong themes of family are to be found throughout. My absolute favorite aspect of this movie are the touches of near-future America that we can see strewn throughout. Even if you're not a superhero genre fan, this movie will stand on its own as either a solid sci-fi action movie, or an indie-movie influenced road movie, or even a modern day Western.

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

It was freakin epic, tough as nails, badass movie, a proper Wolverine movie if there ever was one. It made use of its somewhat slower, character study pace fantastically, and if this is the end, it was a hell of a sendoff to one of the best fictional characters ever created.

What left me very confused though...is that this was the actual end. Logan is immortal, he can not die. Yes, I am the last person to demand that film sticks to source material, and yes I fully appreciate the "connected but also stand alone" nature of these films, but still. Beside his claws, the one known, certain thing about Logan is that he can not be killed. And the fact that they didn't really explain what killed him did not sit well with me. Some unnamed sickness and a stick through his stomach. It just seems that if they were going to do the seeming impossible...there should have been a clear reason for it provided.

The cross-into-X moment at the end, and the faith religious references were a welcomed sight though. Logan has struggled with religious questions far more than the movie ever depicted, so at least a hint of that was appreciated. The movie definitely moved me a lot, and there's no doubt that overall it was a great send off. But the question of how exactly he died is not sitting too well with me right now.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Пожалуй не один фильм за последние лет пять не вызывал такой сильный резонанс во мне чисто с человеческой точки зрения. Я не являюсь фанатом Marvell или людей X но фильм вызвал у меня просто дичайший восторг в плане прикосновения к струнам души. Я шел на веселый боевичек про мясо и рассомаху, а получил драму про человека который просто устал жить. OST просто божественный, сразу после фильма вышел из кинотеатра, закурил и купил в айтюнсе всю дискографию Джонни Кеша. Фильм лично для меня является очень приятным и неожиданным шедевром.… Expand

The best movie since BvS and could be the best Marvel movie ever. It's so good I feel it will be imitated for times to come. Their's a good chance it'll be my favorite movie of the year but their still is Justice League and Wonder Women.

"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

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.

While some people may be disappointed with the villains or the ending not being too impactful, I really found it so as this movie is pointing directly at Wolverine and some of the other main characters while also, in a way establishes a new generation (the children). The characters are beyond amazing, the storyline is interesting, the fighting scenes are really entertaining and interesting to watch while still feeling tense due to Logan not being able to regenerate as fast anymore. It's a drama that contains character development, intense moments, various scenes and character development and a really sweet way of wrapping up things.

Credit has to be given to movies who do something differently and amazing and I think Logan and Deadpool did just that. Support amazing movies like these so that we can show these movie makers what we love the most.

Without that balanced, bloody massacres, maximum efforts of actors and future, almost post-apocalyptic mood the last big-screen episode about James Howlett aka Wolverine wouldn't be so successfull. Jackman and Stewart gave everything they could from their characters, Dafne Keen was the next star of the show, despite the fact that X-23 didn't talk too much, also Boyd Holbrook and Stephen Merchant did excellent jobs playing as Donald Pierce and Caliban. Logan earned the honoured place next to the films like Iron Man, CA:Winter Soldier, X2: X-men united ans Spider-Man 2, as the memorable, nearly perfect movie from Marvel which also finished one great chapter in movie franchise about mutants.… Expand

This was the movie to end Fox's X-Men universe perfectly. From start to finish - the story keeps the audience glued to the screen wondering what will happen next. Despite the fact that the cast of characters are much smaller in comparison to the previous X-Men related movies, a lot of character focus and development were made with the existing characters.

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

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

It would, quite simply, be an insult to label this as just a "good comic book movie." Forget Marvel. Forget DC. Forget comic book movies altogether. This is a motion picture with more character, originality, and style than most films in general. It's as much an action-thriller as it is a family drama and a road trip story, with characters so well-drawn out and well-realized that you feel you never want the ride to end. Though, when things do eventually come to a close, my God do they find a way to send it all off with class.

After 17 Years debuting in the X-men Franchise, Hugh Jackman exits the role as Wolverine, a troubled loner with a heart of gold and claws of Adamantium. In the future of 2029, Mutants have almost become extinct. Logan, living with a dementiaAfter 17 Years debuting in the X-men Franchise, Hugh Jackman exits the role as Wolverine, a troubled loner with a heart of gold and claws of Adamantium. In the future of 2029, Mutants have almost become extinct. Logan, living with a dementia ridden Professor Xavier and a mutant recluse named Caliban, turns his back on mutantkind, instead attempting to make a living as a limousine driver to retire to the ocean. However, Logan's fate is changed when she meets a young girl with mutant powers very similar to his own.

The Live Action X-Men franchise has often been accused of being disrespectful to the source material (or rather the more fantastical elements of said source material such as the Dinosaurs in present day of the Savage Land or the space opera adventures of the Starjammers), in an age where Marvel Studios explores space with Guardians of the Galaxy or the microscopic world with Ant-Man. In Logan, that grounded reality works to the benefit of movie. Instead of visual spectacle and technicolor explosions, the action grim, grounded and folded to reality. Unlike other attempts to 'mature' the genre through simple additions of profanity and violence, Logan uses its R rating to tell a more character driven story, showing broken old men at the end of their ropes. After years of a PG-13 rating, the R rating doesn't simply add blood and gore, but a sense of melancholy and bleakness other films of the same genre do not have. Logan has been described as the mainstream Superhero Western, a fair comparison since Superheroes have often been compared to the Western Boom of the 50's while scenes of 1953's Shane plays during a scene. The actors are fully giving it their all in this picture. Hugh Jackman has always had incredible range as an actor, but his turn as Wolverine is the thing that made him a star. It's only with an actor of his caliber and the age of playing the role for so long that you can get a performance of this magnitude with the emotional weight it deserves. Just the same, the usually reserved Patrick Stewart completely subverts his role as the kindly understanding Professor Xavier to a rambling, cynical cranky old man with a form of Alzheimer's. But, Dafne Keen will ultimately come out as the highlight of the film. It's hard to get children actors to put out a role of this magnitude but Keen's Laura manages to be both convincing as a child who's exploring the world for the first time and a violent killer in other scenes.

The action set pieces are astounding. The fight choreography is stable, the edits manage to feel coherent and the amount of chopped limbs, beheadings and spilled blood makes for a gory good time.

It's unclear where the X-men Franchise can go from here. After the critical disappointment of X-Men: Apocalypse but the financial success of Deadpool, fans have been counting the days when 20th Century Fox will sell the film rights back to Marvel Studios so the Mutants can become part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But, for the payoff we received at the end, Logan is worth the 17 years worth of X-Men films (Some Good, Some Bad, Most Mediocre) to see two actors have one last ride in what was some of the iconic roles in Superhero film history.

See it!… 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

Every single bad guy is a white man who is terminated violently. There's a farming family in plaid, who are black instead of white. The main baddy is a blue eyed man with a British accent. There's a rainbow coalition of children to save. 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. Hollywood in continued decline. Lowest common denominator moralizing abounds.… Expand

For a recent superhero movie, Logan is actually a pretty decent movie. It was kind of violent, the acting was good and the movie was, for the most part, entertaining.

But atAfter watching Logan at my nearest movie theater, I was blown away of how emotional, epic, and lighthearted that movie was compared to other R rated movies that I've seen in cinema history. Sure, the movie is bloody, dark, and profane. But at the same time, it shed light that makes us laugh, shock, or even weep when this is the last time that Hugh Jackman and Sir Patrick Stewart had to play their iconic characters on the big screen. Aside from that, the little girl that played Laura, Dafne Keen, was phenomenal! She literally kicks ass in that movie! To be honest, I cannot wait to see what other work that she'll be doing in the near future. Speaking of that, James Mangold, the director that directed Logan did a fantastic job on setting up this film's direction by exploring the optimism and the seriousness when it comes to the final moments for Wolverine's story. The performances, cinematography, action intensity, and visual effects were outstanding in this film. For some reason, this movie felt very different than any other superhero film adaptation that I've ever seen in my whole entire life. Unlike Deadpool and The Dark Knight, we're thrown into a story that had a fantastic diverse range of characters, plot points, and moments that kindly fondled quite well that actually wrapped up this film right! Without a doubt, this movie is The Dark Knight of X-Men movies and it's considered to be known as a cult classic of the 2010s. Plus, this movie is bound to get the Oscars that it deserves. Thank you Hugh Jackman and Sir. Patrick Stewart for the memories. I'm so glad that I watched this movie because of you guys.… Expand

Saw the movie "Logan" last night. Hugh Jackman will always be the Wolverine for me as he totally personifies the character! An amazing and fitting end to him playing the character in X-Men!!

They cast the character right in the beginning, and carried the story well all the way through to the end. Me growing up on comics, living and breathing the, Marvel done the movies and the character justice all the way through. Some others they haven't done so well with, again Hugh Jackman was and always will be Wolverine for me!!… Expand

The storyline is gripping, and the cinematography coupled with exceptional choreography makes for a sumptuous visual feast. Then there are the performances; magnificent. Keen and Jackman are superb, and Stewart is unforgettable. This film stands alone and above its genre counterparts as a sophisticated and brutal exploration of a dark future with poignant subtext for viewers today. You don't need to be a genre fan to enjoy this exceptional film. 8.99/10… 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

The movie was slow, barely covered any ground, had no big plot, and not really a good ending, IMO. The premise basically suggests that all the X-Men efforts from previous movies amounted to little, if anything. 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.

The writing of Logan was pretty bland, and the characters were very limited in their personalities. The visual spectrum was very limited, and so was the amount of action. There was also a lack of mutant stuff.… Expand
