Review of Logan (2017) by Sam A — 12 Jun 2017

Get ready to pull out your tissues, as you are taken through the most emotional Marvel movie ever made. Logan, unlike its universes previous instalments focuses purely on character. The only time in which this was done as affectively in this cinematic universe was X-Men First Class. However, Logan trumps this in every form.

Logan is set in 2029, In the distant future. Logan (Hugh Jackman) is coping with the evolved world around him. Accompanied with him is Charles (Patrick Stewart) struggling with Alzheimer's. Together they try and survive in an era where Mutants are all but extinct, due to a virus.

Along the way Logan meets a young girl called Laura who is a subject of the Weapon X programme. Laura is being hunted by humans in which want to harness Mutants to create soldiers to fight for the human race. Logan, Charles and Laura go on the road, constantly trying to outrun the human threat.

Overtime, Logan has become weak and broken over the ademantium poisoning his body. Losing his healing ability, this movie has a gritty tone in which has never been shown throughout the Marvel universe. For the R rating, this movie contains strong language, gore, and drug use. So this isn't a movie to show to your children who are fans of the X-Men franchise.

This movie focuses purely on character development and phycological drama. Unlike the other instalments in this franchise, Logan doesn't focus on a world-wide threat, but rather on how the character's situation and how it is a massive threat for them. In truth, nothing bad happens to the real world in this movie.

However, Logan is emotional, action pact, fantastically acted and closes the Wolverine ark in the most tense and satisfying way for a brilliant Marvel superhero. Logan is a must see for Wolverine fans.
