Great plot, spectacular emotion, and brilliant acting.

Rating: 10/10 (3 April 2019)

Previously, there were 3 films in the "superhero" genre that had been truly legendary: Christopher Nolan's genre-changing Dark Knight trilogy. That was it. Now, a case can be made for a fourth.
Logan is a brilliant film, brutally violent, but incredibly emotional, with an amazing plot and phenomenal acting-Hugh Jackman and Dafne Keen, in particular, are absolutely stellar, with great supporting performances by Boyd Holbrook, Richard E. Grant, and Patrick Stewart.
Now note: This is not a kids movie in any way. As mentioned, the movie is incredibly violent, also with frequent language. Also, there is a 2-second shot of a woman's front, which leads to this complaint: Why do movies have to stick in incredibly irrelevant inappropriate scenes which add nothing to the movie, but will turn some viewers away? There is a scene where a drunken woman briefly pulls down her gown, revealing her front, to shock the driver-the scene is so irrelevant to the movie, it's incredible-so why put it in? Is there no concept of basic morality anymore? Violence and language could be called mature, sex and nudity is just inappropriate.
However, this remains a phenomenal film. Jackman is terrific in one of his best performances to date, Keen is absolutely phenomenal (where was this girl?), Holbrook is brilliantly villanous, and Grant and Stewart play their roles well-particularly Grant; Stephen Merchant and Elizabeth Rodriguez have good supporting roles as well. The camera work (John Mathieson) and direction (James Mangold) are excellent, and the film's' emotional depth has not been seen in the superhero genre since the Dark Knight trilogy (which still contains the 3 best superhero films ever made, but Logan is terrific). All in all, a great movie, one of the finest films of 2017, and a terrific cinematic achievement.
