Review of Logan (2017) by Avram B — 14 Apr 2017
Like many have said, Logan represents the pinnacle of the superhero genre by breaking the mold and type cast of the genre.
The weariness of being nearly immortal, and outliving all of your friends, family and even your enemies weighs heavily on Jackman's final portrayal of Wolverine. Logan is a crushed soul that is feeling the weight of the incalcuable numbers of people and mutants that he was forced to kill over the decades, and the sense of loss and guilt for those few that he dared to love that were destroyed as a weapon to get at him.
His one last grasp to his past and his last reason why has not put an adamantium bullet in his own brain is for his tired but touching care of his mentor and past protector Professor Charles Xavier played by Stewart, whose great and powerful brain is detoriating with age.
The movie is tragic and dark, as is appropriate for someone that has outsurvived everyone he has known and cared for over the course of several lifetimes. Someone that is tormented by the evil he has caused in his never ending battle against those that would do evil unto the Wolverine.
It was an emotional ending to a warrior hero that you simply wished that he was able to find some happiness where the bad guys were not able to track him down and destroy those things that he held dear.
