Review of Logan (2017) by Brendan N — 24 Nov 2017

I just got back from a showing and I cannot believe this film exists, incredible film and another reason why Fox should stay in the adult film genre. The film takes away the mess of Xmen Apocalypse and restores the franchise, a story with structure can bring the masses. This is as close to Old Man Logan we'll ever get so we need to enjoy as the envitable recasting of Wolverine will be coming. Like Deadpool it earns the rating but also by making you care, the gruesome moments often compliment the story, knowing the rage and pain. This is the film that showcases the property and what Fox need to contine, no more Singer directed Xmen, time to grow up. 2017 has so many comic book movies coming but if they can't offer what Logan does we are going to be in for a world of pain, remember Deadpool then Batman v Superman, I rest my case.

I have just rewatched the film in the chrome version and I think it is my preferred version of the film. The film is what Fox need to do with every time they adapt marvel, be different and alternative. New Mutants is a step in the right direction but this is the definitive marvel movie and a serious film. Hugh Jackman goes out on a high and leaves the character with a strong conclusion.
