The Aussie actor’s ninth and final X-Men film as Wolverine took some big risks with its 15-certificate and character driven drama – but it’s certainly paid off. At time of writing, Logan has an incredible 97% positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, beating comic book genre favourites The Dark Knight and Iron Man with 94%. While it’s yet to be certified fresh by the website, with yet more reviews to come in, the film is likely to remain above the other two having slipped to 96% and then back up again over the weekend. The film is sure to do well at the box office after critics, including Express.co.uk, heaped their praise on Logan.

MARVEL/DC Logan movie reviews: Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine better than The Dark Knight and Iron Man

FOX Logan currently has an incredible 97% positive reviews

Logan is a Marvel movie with a bit of soul and some true grit. Presumed to be the final outing for Wolverine, it plays more like a late period John Wayne western than it does like a conventional superhero film. Empire

It's both the most violent film in the series and the most sentimental one. When it's not showering you in blood, it's trying to make you spill tears. Hollywood Reporter

Seamlessly melding Marvel mythology with Western mythology, James Mangold has crafted an affectingly stripped-down standalone feature, one that draws its strength from Hugh Jackman's nuanced turn as a reluctant, all but dissipated hero. Variety

The analog pace and elemental story work for it. Each time the violence explodes, it's slashingly satisfying, because it's earned, and also because Mangold knows just how to stage it. So far just two critics have rated the film poorly out the 59 posted by Rotten Tomatoes.
