Review of Logan (2017) by Alex G — 09 Apr 2017
A step in the right and wrong direction. It dismisses any history or development from the series to show the same character arc we've seen every other X-men movie. The story relies on plot convenience to keep the characters moving.
It all feels a bit too easy and unearned. It hits hard, but leaves you wondering--does any of this really matter if none of the experiences that built to this point have been ignored? X23 feels like a retread of Rogue in X1.
The story feels like a retread of X2. The Wolverine/Prof X arc is a reversal of Days of Future Past. Wolverine's arc is identical to The Wolverine. And sadly, I feel like the other movies (when they were doing it first) also did it better.
