Review of Logan (2017) by Veronica A — 30 Apr 2017

If the violence was matched by interesting or important moments, that would warrant such a high rating from critics and audience alike. After all the hype, I left the theatre feeling disappointed. I enjoyed that the hero movie was buried under dirt and decay, it was something fun to slowly dig up but even still the flick fell short.

Since Deadpool, the swearing and graphic nature seem lacklustre and I feel the film leaned too hard on that aspect. You know a film isn't doing what it is setting out to if I (of all people) don't shed a tear for Charles Xavier.

There will never be another Wolverine, Hugh Jackman is it, but I do feel like this film was the funeral. I felt out of place amongst the gawking faces and marvelling eyes. Hugh, though I saw you give this character life years before, I feel like I watched you kill it too.
