Review of Logan (2017) by Nolan S — 29 Mar 2017

Logan is Marvel Comics next big superhero movie... AND IT'S RATED R! I want to start out by saying this new R rating made me a little nervous going in. I was afraid the film makers would take advantage of it and have lots of blood and gore just for the sake of having lots of blood and gore.

Or they would have the characters say the f word a lot just because they could. They ended up doing both of those things, however there was a purpose behind it. Every time Logan is slicing bad guys to bits or saying the f word it felt necessary and earned.

This guy is at a point in his life where he just wants to be left alone, so you can understand why he gets pissed when this girl comes in and starts screwing up his life. Huge Jackman gives us another great performance as Logan, but lets be honest, we all knew he would.

This guy could play Wolverine in his sleep. The little girl in the film gave a surprisingly good performance as well; portraying X-23. This is not a perfect film though, there were one or two exposition scenes that really bugged me, also there is about a 10-15 minute period towards the end that I felt brought the film to a screeching halt.

Thankfully it picked back up rather quickly once that sequence was over. Finally, just like in most Marvel films, I did not really care for the villain. He was fine for the role he played in the film, but he never did anything to make himself stand out.

Despite all that I think Marvel once again delivered with a great film that both X-Men and Wolverine fans will love!
