Logan - review

So Logan is the new R-rated Marvel movie and is supposedly the last time Hugh Jackman will be playing Wolverine. This movie tells the story of Wolverine in a post-apocalyptic world, and he is old, beaten and done with life completely! And he ends up being obligated to protect this little mutant girl who doesn't really need protection. And even Professor Xavier tags along on the journey! So how is this movie? Honestly, this is now my favourite Marvel movie to date! That's right, I liked this even more than Deadpool, and that is saying a lot! This movie is packed with some of the best action I have ever seen in a Marvel movie! By the way, remember how bloody the violence in Deadpool was? Well this movie tops it by a long shot! Logan makes Deadpool look PG-13 by comparison! There is TONS of blood and gore, tons of dismemberment, all that good stuff! And I LOVED it! This is also a very emotional movie too, it's not one of those constantly humorous Marvel movies, this is a very dark, emotional movie! Everyone gives great performances in this film too. This is my favourite portrayal of Wolverine from Hugh Jackman, it is fucking incredible! Patrick Stewart is once again amazing as Professor Xavier, and the girl who plays the little girl, her name in the movie is X-23, holy fuck she was a badass! When she fights alongside with Wolverine, it is some of the best bloody mayhem you could ever ask for! This is not your typical superhero movie either, there is no big CGI bad guys in this, there is no colorful costumes, nothing like that! This is more like a straight up action movie than anything, and also happens to be VERY rated R! So in the end, is Logan my favourite movie of 2017 so far, oh, absolutely! And that is saying something because The Lego Batman Movie and John Wick 2 were both incredible too! I will be reviewing those too sometime in the future!

Run time: 141 min
MPAA:  Rated R for strong brutal violence and language throughout, and brief nudity
