Review of Logan (2017) by Todd C — 27 May 2017

Easily the best superhero movie I have seen. They don't throw two hours of crazy visuals in your face like most, but instead tell a fantastic and believable story with a few characters we have already come to recognize and love.

I tend to rate movies on my own scale... bad, decent, good, and epic. A typical superhero movie falls somewhere in between decent and good. Without the right amount of "grit", a movie like the Avengers will never be believable and reach the epic status that a movie like The Dark Knight, or in this case Logan, is capable of. Many superhero movies, including the highest grossing ones, badly suffer from "the weta effect" (look it up).

Without all that the R rating of this movie offers, it would probably be a couple notches below where it actually is. Cookie-cutter movies geared towards a younger audience just cant deliver this kind of next-level performance.
