The Action was brutal and better than most of the other X-films. the
story arc ends quite opposite where the story arc was leading that it
would go. Even some of Professor Xavier's dialogue leans to the fact
that Wolverine will take over the role as father and mentor/leader to
these New Muyants, but that obvious and pleasing completion is thrown to
the wayside by the director just to play homage to Shane which is a
stretch Anywayss.
The Directors fixation with Shane as a template for this movie pays NOT ENOUGH homage to the character, the comic series from which it is loosely based and HONESTLY is a third wasted solo Wolverine film. Not pleased. Also thought it was stupid to waste footage on Wolverine's claw not popping out all the way - WTF was that?!!! What purpose did that serve? His scoring is more than proof positive that he's not healing. No explanation as to why he was not healing. No explanation to what the off was about...I consider this movie a huge disappointment. I'm actually shocked that so many people like it.
Logan makes all other Wolverine movies obsolete. Logan is the Wolverine formula done right. This isn't some fluff piece to sell toys or get kids to the theaters. Logan is as true to the source material as one could ever hope. I only wish Mr. Hugh Jackman could have been free to take the character to this depth sooner. My only hope is that Logan will forever set the bar for the next incarnation. The genre of the superhero movie is one that has been watered down but the truth has always been that these stories are very violent and deep. Patrick Stewart gives an outstanding performance. Daphne Keen is an outstanding young actress. Just inside and out....the one I have been waiting for.
A very different take on the superhero genre and in particular, X-Men. The film does a nice job of making Logan feel relatable, human, and most challengingly, mortal. The supporting characters play their roles well. Xavier is still a mentor of sorts to Logan though he edges on being senile with occasional hints of genius and while this is Logan's swan song, much of the story revolves around the new character Laura. The film has a few points that make little sense but overall the film is well thought out and has only a few loose ends.
