Logan

Dear lord, who knew saving for Disney for the holidays and now planning a wedding would drain all your fun time funds...Well, now you know why I have been away for so long, but I am back baby, here give you the reviews you desire... you need! Enough about me, lets get to the review shall we:


Logan- Well, another movie starring Hugh Jackman, playing Marvel's most iconic character of all time. Unfortunately, for us fans, this is Hugh Jackman's and Patrick Stewart's final performance as their mutant characters, since 2001, and we have to say good bye, as they pass the mantles. Going to be extremely hard to imagine anyone else playing these two characters in the future.

Plot- Logan has aged, and appears to be in constant pain all the time. He takes care of Charles Xavier, due to his old age is having trouble controlling his powers of telepathy. They live out in the middle of no where in New Mexico, but a mechanical hand man, named Pierce (played by Boyd Holbrook) is snooping around asking if Logan has been in contact with a woman, named Gabriela, lately. The woman surfaces asking Logan to take this young girl to North Dakota for a price, but Pierce and other men are chasing our heroes for the girl.

I really liked this movie. The heart was there, and the banter between the cast seemed so natural, making it easier to connect with the audience. The movie is a R rating, so it wasted no time in dropping "F" bombs and slicing people up brutally. It is the true way Wolverine fans have wanted to see the character since 2001. Dear god, the amount of henchmen sliced and diced in this film...whew! The young actress, Dafne Keen, plays a great part, and when she goes into berserker mode, RUN!

The one thing I did notice about the film was, you needed to do your homework on the premise of the story before going into it. Explaining things like, why Logan's healing factor is crapping out? why most of the mutants aren't around anymore? I could see that being distracting to people going into the film because, those things are NEVER addressed in the movie, other than Logan is old now.

Final Verdict- 8.5/10, Loved interaction with the characters, and the movie really had heart to it. Plus, you get to see Wolverine and X-23 really rip things up together. recommend highly to see in theaters.
