Review of Logan (2017) by Compi24 — 05 Mar 2017
Not since "The Dark Knight" has a "comic book movie" come along with this much auteuristic fervor and individuality. In fact, I put the term "comic book movie" in quotes because - like Nolan's 2008 opus - James Mangold's "Logan" is a film that is so passionately crafted, it transcends the sub-genre itself.
It would, quite simply, be an insult to label this as just a "good comic book movie." Forget Marvel. Forget DC. Forget comic book movies altogether. This is a motion picture with more character, originality, and style than most films in general.
It's as much an action-thriller as it is a family drama and a road trip story, with characters so well-drawn out and well-realized that you feel you never want the ride to end. Though, when things do eventually come to a close, my God do they find a way to send it all off with class.
This is the Wolverine film that James Mangold always wanted to make and the one that I'll always consider to be the best - even if it is the last. Hugh - it's been real, bub. You've more than earned your time off.
