Review of Logan (2017) by Brendan H — 21 Sep 2017

Had 'The Dark Knight' not been made, 'Logan' would have been called the greatest CBM ever made in cinema history.

For the last two days, I've been thinking how to express my feelings for this movie. It made me sad. I won't deny, some scenes made me shiver, few shots challenged me to hold my tears, and I left the hall with a broken heart. At the same time, it made me happy in a strange way. A unique sense of fulfillment was there. This is Logan, as he was always meant to be: violent, bestial, unforgiving yet so much humane and caring. Like he used to say, "I'm the best there is at what I do; but what I do isn't very nice." How unapologetically blunt. There is strong gory violence in 'Logan' which makes it an 'R' rated film, yet there is this unique feeling surrounding the movie which will melt your heart.

Sir Patrick Stewart should get an Oscar for his portrayal as Professor X. Like Hugh, this is his last X-Men appearance. And he nailed it. I don't have the authority to comment on his acting. He's on another level. Hugh Jackman gave us what we fans always dreamt of. The Wolverine - an animalistic Wolverine. We got it in his last movie. Hugh, we love you. You will always be our Logan. You can never ever be replaced. You won our heart, Hugh. Now go win an Oscar for this movie. We wish you all the happiness and success in all your future endeavours. And Dafne Keen, such a sweet little doll! Such a sweetheart! So talented in such a young age... This cutie pie will reach stars in future, guaranteed. All the very best, baby.

Director James Mangold proved numerous times that he's capable of making unforgettable movies. Hopefully this movie will get him the awards he deserved for a long time. Cinematography was top notch. Music was perfect. Take notice WB and Zack Snyder and the team behind DCEU, this is how you make a dark and gritty movie. Critics don't hate dark toned films. To be praised, you have to make the story line dark and mature, you don't just dark the picture quality then make shitty childish movies and demand to be praised. Hopefully the DCEU team will learn from this.

Goodbye James "Logan" Howlett. Our Wolverine. May God bless your tormented soul. Amen.
