Review of Logan (2017) by Viet Phuong N — 02 Jul 2017
An okay superhero film but not as breakthrough as I thought. The R-rating of this film really is a bless for its choreography, as the film's action looks raw, realistic, and different from other tone-down superhero films.
But the plot, which obviously borrows elements from Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" and Naughty Dog's "The Last of Us", seemed to be refreshing at first but grew to be repetitive and tiring as the film went on due to the lack of character development/revelation (especially regarding Professor X and Laura) as a sacrifice for the heavy focus on Wolverine, who is still as grumpy and aggressive as in any other X-Men film despite the newly-found resignation.
The conventional ending is another disappointment, especially given the underuse of the young mutants during the climax (including the almighty Laura), and a very one-dimensional cast of villains. A 4-star is as generous as I can give for this film.
