Review of Logan (2017) by Timw001 — 05 Mar 2017

Logan is a marquee movie of the superhero genre. A nearly flawless film and a fantastic sendoff for Jackman. The first action sequence with Laura (X-23) is a perfect introduction to the well deserved R-rating film. As much blood and gore as a Tarantino film, decapitated heads, gratuitous stabbing, and bloody slashes, clawed uppercuts to skulls. This movie while accompanied by much action and blood but it is a strong character development film. Charles Xavier is a great senile old man and a great father figure. Logan is stubborn about refusing a happy family and that remains consistent until the very end.

Pacing, action, characters, all is great. Without prior knowledge of X-Men or Wolverine it still stands as a strong action & sci-fi movie.
