Review of Logan (2017) by Kingmob4313 — 03 Mar 2017
Pros: The rather boring and tepid X-men movies have their overwrought coda and maybe Patrick Stewart's role in these piles of garbage will be forgotten.
Fox will no longer beat the dead horse of a sterilized vision of Marvel's more adventurous comic book series.
While it's nice to see action scenes not obscured by the usual shake-cam garbage that plagues most movies, the violence is Peckinpah-esque and I guess that will appeal to the man-child sociopaths who will be flocking to this movie for their dose of male power fantasy.
Cons: A further continuation of Fox's butchering of the Logan character. Without Wolverine's failed samurai / weeaboo aspect or any hint of the internal conflict that made up a crucial part of the character (his bestial side) the character lacks any sort of nuance. Instead the only real internal conflict comes from his pining for the redhead girlfriend of the king of toolbags: Cyclops.
Everything is so serious. Much of the movie's framing assigns importance and gravity to the ridiculous and frankly silly plot points and scenes.
In a phrase: it tries too hard.
