Review of Logan (2017) by Costa G — 17 Aug 2018
Depressing, boring, plotless, predictable. I do not get all the hype around this movie at all. It's not innovative or fresh, like the critics claim. It basically recycles elements from the other X-Men films.
It borrows the dark future from Days of Future Past. The Logan/Laura relationship is just a pale repeat of the far better developed father-daughter relationship between Rogue and Logan in the first X-Men movie.
X-24, the "evil" version of Wolverine, is a second rate rip off of Liev Shrieber's Victor Creed from Wolverine: Origins. Zander Rice, the evil scientist who hates mutants, is just a poor man's version of William Stryker.
The Munsons are a recycling of the Hudsons from Wolverine: Origins. Both are kindly farm families who try to help Wolverine and end up getting killed by the bad guys. The whole plot of Logan is just a retread of the plot from The Wolverine--Logan loses his powers and mourns dead X-Men.
The ONLY good thing about this movie is Patrick Stewart, and his character's death is really pointless and pathetic. This movie was a disappointment to me, big time!
