Review of Logan (2017) by Stewart F — 21 Nov 2017

This films boldly states-- written in blood and grime-- that the comic book genre must be taken seriously. It is the apex of the genre and goes to show that given the creative freedom, singular vision, and talent behind and in front of the camera, any genre can make deeply impactful, nuanced, emotional films.

Through extreme violence, sober stretches, and moving looks, this movie tells a story more akin to Unforgiven than the Avengers. It is incredible. It defies comic books, defies superheroes, defies blockbusters, and defies conventions to become the greatest blockbuster since Mad Max: Fury Road.
