Review of Logan (2017) by Kwjduff — 29 Jul 2017

Logan is not only the quintessential Wolverine movie, it is one of the best superhero films full stop which is funny because one of the reasons this movie is so great is because it doesn't feel like a superhero film.

Everything from the pacing, story, action and characters are top notch and Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart and Dafne Keen should be praised for their amazing performances. While the villains are not the best I have seen, especially when compared to Heath Ledgers Joker, they are still solid and the focus isn't really on them so their importance is limited compared to other villains.

Finally, Logan delivers the perfect amount of R-rated violence, wth each fight scene having its fair share of blood and decapitations. This is the way it should be as Logan has always had grizzly, gritty and violent storylines and if anything was missing from previous installments, it was the lack of violence which Logan's character is known for.

Overall, Logan represents the pinnacle of superhero movies. The story is gripping and emotional, the characters are believable as are their motivations and the action is gritty and violent. Everything comes together beautifully to create a satisfying conclusion and the perfect sendoff for this amazing character.
