Review of Logan (2017) by Benjamin H — 09 Jun 2018
With the X-Men franchise struggling to stay afloat in the waters of cinema, it has been in dire need of an influx of strength, so as to catch a breath of fresh air. I am happy to report that Logan provides that strength.
The plot may not be terribly original, but it moves quickly enough--with the exception of the second act--to remain engaging and provides sufficient tragic twists to make it emotionally investing. Hugh Jackman arguably gives his best performance as Logan as he allows the darkest sides of the character to roll forth in his facial expressions and spot-on line delivery. Logan is not for the faint of heart. Its brutal violence and dark themes are sure to make stomachs church and hearts ache. But this is the side of Wolverine that we have always wanted to see and it serves as a more than satisfying farewell to Marvel's beloved--if flawed--hero.
