Review of Logan (2017) by Cliff J — 05 Apr 2017

Well, it only took Hugh Jackman 9 times playing Wolverine to make a truly great comic book film that can stand on its own. Of course, it required stripping away all the trappings: the continuity, the characters.

This was not a franchise, but a story. And it worked because of that fact. A few complex characters on a conflict-filled adventure. Just the basics. I could have lived without some over-the-top moments at the end, but otherwise this movie was just plain brilliant from the beginning.

Here's hoping they wait a while before the inevitable reboot.
