This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My son and I left this movie feeling somber and depressed. Granted, I like Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart performances. They did the best they could do with the content. The movie is dark, brooding and rather slow during the middle half. It seems as though the entire purpose of the movie was to say goodbye to 2 people. So it portrays them as old, weary and ready to fissile out. Personally, I prefer to see my favorite characters in their prime and going out with a bang rather than worn out and beaten down at the end. The girl had nothing to say for most of the movie which makes it hard to relate to or care for what happens to her. I like to have fun when I go to an X-Men movie and this was far from that. It's too bad that the movie couldn't be fun and then killed off my favorite characters. Unlike other X-Men movies, I hardly expect that I will want to see this movie again. I guess I had too high expectations for this film.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As someone who appreciated most other recent xmen and wolvering movies I have to say this movie was very mediocre, the story was as uninteresting as it gets, Logan is now a Nurse/Carer for Xavier who suffers from Alzheimer when out of nowhere this horrible and annoying mexican girl shows up on the run from some evil white guys that want to take her away and do horrible things to her because reasons, even though they already have a copy of Logan. If being a Nurse and a nanny wasn't enough for the wolvering he is also dying and he doesn't give a damn because reasons, Xavier now seems perfectly fine with having a family killed just so he can chill at their place for a night and the nonsense goes on everything is so out of character that I don't even know what else to say, save yourself the money stay home.… Expand

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

The build up, characters and more serious scenes make this movie feel much more serious. Even though the story might not be very deep, its still a super serious Marvel movie. The ending was so damn good as well! How Laura which had been mute and different the whole movie, but loosened up towards the end and even calls Logan for dad as he's dying made me wanna cry so bad.. 10/10 imo, a must watch for everyone!… Expand

"Perhaps the best X-Men movie yet."
"This is honestly one of the best comic book movies of all time."

My turn, poopyheads.

Calling Logan the best X-Men movie because it's gritty and dark is like saying Revenge of the Sith is the best Star Wars movie because it's the most 'darkest'.

Logan is the worst movie I have seen in a long time. The senseless violence, the flat characters, and the painfully slow pacing take it in that path, and the utter and excruciating lack of plot set that in stone. I am absolutely astounded that this is getting good reviews, I honestly thought it would wither and die like Green Lantern or Fantastic Four(2015). Given the (the following words hurt my hands as I write them) 'critical acclaim' this movie is receiving, let me substantiate my review.

Plot: All through the movie people are dying and things are happening. But what is the purpose of it all? Good storytelling does not consist in throwing events into someone's face, good storytelling is making those events matter. All through the movie right until the end I kept asking myself two questions: 'So what?' and 'Why do I care?' And those two questions are the whole basis of good stories. Is it that hard to ask for a movie with characters I can care about? A compelling plot that at lease makes sense? To my dismay, I have read several reviews comparing this with Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy and I cannot in any way comprehend how people can insult Christopher Nolan to such a degree.

Violence: Clearly inspired by Deadpool, this movie features waterfalls of blood. Senseless violence that is neither fun nor necessary. The Passion of Christ, Se7en, and most Scorsese and Tarantino movies are good examples of a good way to employ violence in movies. This is a great example of a terrible way.

Characters: The only real character in the whole movie is Professor X, everybody else is flat and devoid of real purpose.

Pacing: Stupidly long and extremely poorly paced.

I do not recommend this movie to anyone.… Expand

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

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was actually really excited to see this movie, mainly because of all of the positive things I had seen and heard about it. I came away thinking that the action was cool, I liked the interaction and development between Logan and Charles, and I liked the unfiltered dialogue. However, as a whole, I thought the movie was pretty terrible. It was immediately obvious when they stayed in the farm house that the whole family would die (and that weight didn't really seem to bother Logan). The other mutant kids were all pretty useless and stupid too. Why did they all gang up to defeat the human villain instead of actually doing anything useful to help Wolverine fight X24? I mean, they showed that they actually had some useful and cool abilities but nope... just going to watch X24 kill Wolverine. Oh, and when they showed the Adamantium bullet, you knew that would come back. And that deus ex machina was actually terribly executed... If an adamantium bullet could actually kill them, how come any time they cut each other with their adamantium claws it could heal? WTF?!?! Oh and good **** lord was this movie too long... really really too long. By the end, I was laughing at parts that were supposed to be weighty, like the Shane speech lmfao. All in all... what the **** was everyone watching when they thought it was one of the best movies of the year? It was one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time. Not the worst only because I recently watched Honey Dripper...… Expand

The characters at best service the situation at worst are completely devoid of any true character. I found myself feeling disconnected and bored - fighting to stay awake during this 2h 18m run time.

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.

Part of me wants to give this movie a 0 just8.8 user score for this movie is the reason why the US president is Donald Trump. You guys clearly, blindly love guns and blood in movies, paying $10 to see the same movie every few months, ugh...

Part of me wants to give this movie a 0 just to bring the user score down, but I have to be honest and rate it higher. It's not a 0. But it is definitely a 3.

Most of what makes this movie a 3 is the plot holes, and how inaccessible it is as a standalone film for those that aren't Wolverine die-hard fans. Actually, I don't know if being a die-hard fan might make the movie WORSE for you, because it's a bad movie of something you like. Anyways, I know people think that those who gripe about plot holes are jerks that are overly critical and hate fun, but that's not me. I like fun. I think if you make a movie about an action hero, it's probably going to be an action movie, and we all know there isn't any shortage of movies with fight/gun scenes, so you have to freakin' do something to separate yourself from just being another action movie... Logan (the film) does this mostly by throwing Logan (the character) in our face with different sides of his emotional character.

Why is he so sad? Why is he suicidal? Why does he do anything he's doing? Why does it feel like he's given up? I was interested in these sides of his character, but near the end of the movie just didn't care anymore because I was so bored. The movie makes Logan-claw-action scenes boring by then, by having too many of them. The characters talk too much and simultaneously say too little, and this movie isn't dialogue driven at all. Near the end of the movie I strongly suspected that X-23 and/or Logan were primal screaming just to wake up people who may have fallen asleep in the theatre. Anyways, I'll mention some good parts about this movie:

-I thought some of the action stuff was creative. But there is too much "meh" action in this movie.

-The movie has a certain atmosphere to it. But it doesn't really do much with the atmosphere. It's just one of those things that could have been done better, so it's barely a plus.

-The gore is surprising and satisfying, but near the end you will not care anymore.

Now the bad, and then after I will list some huge plot holes:

-X-23 is not mute but gives the weakest excuse for not talking until close to the end of the movie.

-Logan is WAY too tortured of a protagonist in this movie. It gets annoying after a while. Like, stop complaining and finish the mission.

-Who the HELL are these antagonists? They might as well have been the grey putty men from Power Rangers, holy cow the movie doesn't explain their motives well enough.

-Logan's "powers" are good when broken up by other mutant powers, but this movie attempts to carry itself using only Logan's powers (and guns of course, Hollywood's favorite prop for moving movies along these days). It does not work to good effect. When other powers are introduced it is only at the end of the movie.

-When X-23 turns the cross on Logan's grave to make an "X," I hard-cringed in disgust.

Now for plot holes, which I know you all have been waiting for me to get to:

-Okay, you have to get to North Dakota, why the HELL are Logan, X-23 and Prof. X stopping so damn much? What's with all this side-questing??? GET TO THE OBJECTIVE, STOP LOLLYGAGGING AND GETTING THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU KILLED.

-Logan's friend, Calaman or Kalavan, whatever his name is, kills himself so that the antagonists can't use him to track Logan and X-23 anymore near the end of the movie... but why doesn't he do this AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE MOVIE???

-Near the end of the movie, why are the children running away from the soldiers? They have POWERS, which they later use in unison against the main antagonist, WHY NOT BUNKER DOWN AND FIGHT THE SOLDIERS THAT ARE COMING AFTER YOU???

-How does Logan run 8 miles that quickly? He caught up to helicopters, armed trucks and the children he chased after to rescue at the perfect time, what is this nonsense?

-Why does Logan even die? Are you really telling me that the children ran out of green juice that heals Logan on the exact date that they were rolling out to make it to the final safe haven???

-Why does the movie end BEFORE we see the final safe haven???

To conclude:

With the 5000 char limit on Metacritic I can only condense my anger at this film, but I have so many more words. This review may have come through as sporadic, shotgunning my disdain for the terrible tropes of Hollywood filmmaking at a film based off of something that I liked growing up, something that stood for a cool berserker rage that is supposed to be aimed at a faceless evil we all want to lash at. If I could transform this movie into such a force, redirecting our loved berserker back at Hollywood, I would want this action to convey that this is a bad movie, and those who made it should feel bad for making it.

I asked for my money back afterwards...… Expand

They tried so hard to make a superheroes movie seem realistic, but then failed on many things. They also left many things unexplained. You're just getting thrown in in this "new world".

If you really like Wolverine and the other characters depicted, you shouldn't watch this movie. Its just sad, as if the writer of the script wanted to kill himself.

The current crop of studio exec donkeys have no say, no balls, no brains anymore not to start putting an end to these self indulgent bloated overlong flicks! It's an across the board rampant problem. This thing would do better at 90 minutes, and don't make the argument it has been doing just fine as is because it can always be better. These filmmakers can't even turn in a reasonable length cut anymore and are too stupid to realize we out here are sick and tired of sitting through their padded formulaic slogs. The only people satisfied by it are pushover geeks, shills in the jackass critics herd, or those who haven't seen many movies in their lives. Those of us not in one of those three categories find the formula so very, very tired. Little girl and tough guy. Never seen that before. R rated comic book movie as western? The novelty wears off in the first twenty minutes. This director has made good movies, most notably the excellent "Copland" (10 rating here), so he knows what he's doing. And Jackman is a good actor and big star, so why can't he make a single good adult movie? "The Prestige" was an almost, good right up until the end. "Prisoners" sure as ---- was not! You look at the track record of big action-drama stars over the years, everyone from McQueen to Eastwood to Ford, and so many others and all made many venerable movies which hold up for all audiences. That's how they became big stars. Now a physical look and a superhero franchise falsely give an actor that status. It's not legit. * The "Deadpool" short/scene tease playing with the feature is awful! The audience (the built-in audience that is) did not react at all. No laughs, no clapping, nothing. Dead silence. Meaning they also thought it sucks! That character and new franchise along with its actor are a degenerate embarrassment no matter what the geek legions say.… Expand

Even beyond the gore, clear setup and failed execution of comic relief, and depressing atmosphere, Logan has a muddled plot that ditches exposition and character development in favor of comic book references and severed limbs.

Logan has theEven beyond the gore, clear setup and failed execution of comic relief, and depressing atmosphere, Logan has a muddled plot that ditches exposition and character development in favor of comic book references and severed limbs.

Logan has the setup of a standard Marvel movie, attempting to balance gritty, engaging action with light-hearted comic relief. Its sad, dark angle befits the premise: the main character is being poisoned by his own super-powered skeleton. This angle, however, crosses the line from dark to melodramatic as mentions and visual imagery of blood, pus, brains, and guts overshadow the "internal struggle" Logan is supposed to be enduring. The supposed "deep existential crisis" that Logan suffers regarding his repeated murders of people around him is unbelievable when he repeatedly, intentionally goes out of his way to kill people when he had the option to do literally anything else. His counterweights, the optimistic Charles Xavier and adorable daughter Laura balance out Logan's grit and angst...or, that is, they would if they had anything meaningful to say throughout the movie. Laura is mute until the very end, which serves as a clever bait-and-switch at the expense of her narrative potential as a character, and Charles spends most of his time on screen explaining that Logan is indeed dying without adding why it's happening or what to do about it. Even the villains are carelessly slapped together: their organization manufactures child soldiers from the DNA of mutants like Wolverine and are trying to track down Laura and the other mutants like her because they are the creations of said organizations and do not deserve to see the outside world. Individually, however, these characters have no depth. There's a scientist, a bounty hunter, and a Wolverine clone, and that's all you'll ever learn about them.

The Good: convincing acting, Charles being adorable when he's not spouting faux exposition, Laura being charming when she finally opens her mouth

The Bad: sub-par comic relief, lack of clear exposition and motivation for villains, two most engaging characters rambling on about how Logan is "being POISONED" and staying mute for most of the film, respectively

Verdict: I'd recommend this to die-hard fans of X-Men who would watch anything with Wolverine's face on it and literally nobody else. There is no substance to speak of in this Suicide Squad-esque cash grab of a film.… Expand

Fox will no longer beat the dead horse of a sterilized vision of Marvel's more adventurous comic book series.

While it's nice to see action scenes not obscured by the usual shake-cam garbage that plagues most movies, the violence is Peckinpah-esque and I guess that will appeal to the man-child sociopaths who will be flocking to this movie for their dose of male power fantasy.

Cons: A further continuation of Fox's butchering of the Logan character. Without Wolverine's failed samurai / weeaboo aspect or any hint of the internal conflict that made up a crucial part of the character (his bestial side) the character lacks any sort of nuance. Instead the only real internal conflict comes from his pining for the redhead girlfriend of the king of toolbags: Cyclops.

Everything is so serious. Much of the movie's framing assigns importance and gravity to the ridiculous and frankly silly plot points and scenes.

In a phrase: it tries too hard.… Expand

Extremely bloody, profane, raw and disturbing. Logan has a theme of kidnapping and child abuse, which is hard to watch because these kids are being hunted down by all. It scared me to see a family murdered one by one, and I was a bit freaked out. The script is very lazy, with many swear words inside. The good part of this movie is the acting. Hugh Jackman did a fantastic job as Logan, but the other characters' performances do not fit in as much with Hugh Jackman's style. Patrick Stewart does not do such a great job as a leading role, and it almost seems like Hugh Jackman has to be there all the time in the scene so we don't completely freak out. I understand how some people would like this movie, speaking of which that it is "Marvel's Dark Knight." I am not a huge fan of superhero films, nor am I a fan of dark superhero films, but this one seemed different. I'd rather see a movie where I could follow along and enjoy the plot and suspense as we go. The plot in Logan isn't that spectacular, and they use references to the X-Men comic books in the movie just to remind us that this movie was based on a deep comic strip. This is only my opinion, but I wished the violence wouldn't be so non-stop, bloody and cheesy. Not a fan of these films, and it has ruined my small liking of superhero films. I do like LEGO Batman, though!… Expand

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

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

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

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

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

The movie has great acting, a great story, and hits you emotionally in ways you never thought a superhero movie could. In fact, the drama and acting in this film are so great it makes you forget it's a superhero movie. Not that I dislike superhero movies are want to talk down to them, because they're some of my favorites. However, very few could be considered highbrow the way "Logan" is. Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart have great chemistry together and both are in top form. Dafne Keen also did a great job as well and was highly believable, something you don't see from child actors. Basically, if they acted in the movie and they weren't an extra or a minor character it was great. The movie is dark and broody, but doesn't take itself too seriously at times. It can make you laugh but will also make you cry. It's an emotional rollercoaster. If you were thinking about catching "Logan" the answer is, "Yes. Do it."… Expand

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

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

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. .

I honestly don’t know what people here are smoking but this was just a bad X-Men film. No mutants, no cool abilities, no supervillains, outside of the few action scenes the vast majority of this movie is boring, like really really boring.

Days of Future Past exists, we never needed this. It’s contrived, boring, and internally inconsistent.

Nobody would be talking about this movie if not for the R rating. Seriously, try to find one review for this movie that doesn’t mentionDays of Future Past exists, we never needed this. It’s contrived, boring, and internally inconsistent.

This is nearly 2/3rds of an almost great film; a personal, brutal, honest, original take on the superhero myth. But the final act is a letdown; like something from an inferior mundane take and one that undermines some of that which was builtThis is nearly 2/3rds of an almost great film; a personal, brutal, honest, original take on the superhero myth. But the final act is a letdown; like something from an inferior mundane take and one that undermines some of that which was built up to that point.

What's strange and transfixing for a while is how deeply cynical this film is. The mutants are dead, Xavier senile and hurting those he loves, Logan is dead inside; an alcoholic husk taking care of his dying father in some abandoned silo in the desert. Until of course, life intervenes (through a child no less) and he's forced to find his humanity once again.

It is built into the structure of the movie that this is another one of those false hopes. That they lived their whole lives for this cause which didn't' work and which never truly saved Logan's soul. Xavier makes it his duty to try one last time. In this sense, the cynicism and brutality is earned and just. It doesn't just shock and awe, but conjure mood and distaste; it drives a stake through the "angry dude with a heart of gold" byline that normally accompanies Logan - here he's a bit of a sadist with no carnage filter anymore.

Yet, after a soulful mix of scenes involving an old-fashioned family and their farm, the movie kicks into manic superhero vs. villain let's save the world mode. The deaths pile up too fast; the poor Munson family is slaughtered, yet in the face of Xavier's death and all the other action we don't get to feel the full weight of this collateral damage and we are supposed to take it at face value and keep rolling with the nihilism.

Then there's a lot more mind-numbing violence at the end, too much and too chaotic for it to register as much more than useless noise (unlike the earlier fight scenes). Logan wants to save the kids from having to kill yet they do that just as well here and you're supposed to cheer. Logan gets a fitting death, finally at peace by destroying the demon within, though you wonder how much is really his fault at this point? Is this a fitting metaphor for him? A good man who has killed many bad guys. The movie seems to say that bad guys have to die but you're still killing them, so that's bad so you're bad so beat yourself up about it and tell the kids this is conflicting stuff so don't mess with it. But the kids have to kill bad guys anyway (comic book antics and special effects...). The anti-hero tropes have been piled on too thick by now, and I think a little more sanity may have helped out in the end.… Expand
