Logan is the last movie in Wolverine series and the final movie starring Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and Patrick Stewart as Charles. Feeling “old” yet?

In the near future, a weary Logan cares for an ailing Professor X somewhere on the Mexican border. However, Logan’s attempts to hide from the world and his legacy are upended when a young mutant arrives, pursued by dark forces.

This movie is nothing like the other movies in this franchise. This movie buries other X-Men movies, especially Wolverine movies. I think that this is very dark and one of the most emotional movie, so I would recommend preparing a napkin. Logan is old and rusty and you can feel that through the whole movie. He is not as fast as the Wolverine from the 2013 movie, but he still has claws and he is ready to protect X-23, mutant that was in the same pile of shit that he was. The movie starts aggressive, with some rated R violence, cutting limbs and throats and it slows down just to tell us what happened before and to introduce us to the story. There are no boring parts or any pace issues, it runs smoothly. This movie feels like one of those Sundance Film Festival dramas that are often Oscar snubs because of its look and storytelling (although it’s gore fest). I would like to talk about this movie so much, but I can’t because almost everything is a spoiler.

The acting in this movie is amazing and I think the best in any X-Men movie so far. Hugh Jackman (Logan) gave his best for the last Logan performance. I was blown away by his anger and his motivation throughout the movie. His character development through the movie is great and we can feel how he’s making that bond with X-23. His emotions are well shown and his reactions to the stuff happening are just amazing. Patrick Stewart (Charles) is also amazing and we can see some great “rated-R” improvements. He is becoming a grumpy old grandpa, but he still has shit to say. I was surprised when I heard him swear for the first time. Dafne Keen (Laura/X-23) did amazing as well, although he doesn’t talk much. Her character, although sweet and cute, is really, REALLY BRUTAL so don’t think about her as a cute little mutant. I really like her chemistry with Logan and the chemistry between Logan and Charles.

The action scenes in this movie are great, fun and bloody as hell. You can see a lot of limbs cut off and heads and… everything. The ending is brutal, but I don’t want to spoil it. The editing of the fight scenes was great. It wasn’t rough cut and there was no shaky-cam. The color of the movie was unique and I really like that hot/mostly brown color-grade that represents old and rusty Logan. The soundtrack is also good, although it’s not something special like BVS or Man of Steel soundtrack. There are few licenced songs, but they their usage is great.

At the end, Logan is one of the best superhero movies and definitely my favourite X-Men movie of all time. I think you’ll have a great fun, but prepare yourself, this is not your typical superhero movie.

My rating: 10/10
