Review of Logan (2017) by Bradley J — 17 Jun 2017

Unwavering in its bleak brutality, Logan is a somber but elegant send off for Wolverine who has been changing the game of superheroes since 2000. This is his best outing and thankfully according to the ending, ensures no further films with Wolverine are necessary.

It is finite and surprisingly emotional. The violence occasionally borders on mind numbing, but the film wants the audience to work for the ending and when it comes, it's sad, yet hopeful. Hugh Jackman puts his all into his final performance as Wolverine and is put through the emotional wringer.

If any superhero movie deserves an acting nomination, it's Jackman. Logan is draining, but rewarding and powerful storytelling. One of the better comic films of late. Rating: 83.
