Review of Logan (2017) by Nathan C — 08 Jul 2017

This was the most depressing superhero movie ever. Basically, Wolverine is dealing with the drudgery of middle age. He's caring for a demented Professor X, while dealing with his aging body (because apparently adamantium poisoning is the only thing his body can't regenerate from).

He is angry about the lost relationships he's had, working a dead-end job, and self-medicating heavily. As if that weren't enough, Logan is confronted by the reality that he has a daughter he never knew about.

Struggling to adjust to life as a single dad, and trying to connect to an emotionally troubled tween, Logan decides to follow the advice of the old man with Alzheimer's and take their troubles on the road, where Professor X's ailing mind and failing wisdom put scores of innocent civilians in harm's way.

But it's all ok because, despite all the loss, Wolverine found out he still can love.
