Marvel Gets Mature & Serious

Rating: 8/10 (28 December 2017)

The marvel series often has humor and comic quality. This one goes beyond that into serious drama. Hugh Jackmanis brillant as Logan/X24. He gets plenty of good support. Dafne Keen as Laura, hi daughter(?) is great as well.
There are plenty of good performances, but the strength of these Marvel Characters film is the script. This one is no exception. It mixes the Comic Book Action and Character development perfectly. The story is kind of like the "boys of Brazil" but in this case, the kids are all super powered and genetically produced by Science including Laura. Logan needs to save them from having their powers controlled by abusers.
It gets pretty bloody, but the resulting action and the story are well told and the long film is very entertaining.
This film proves Marvel can appeal to an "R" Rated Mature Audience. It again proves how to make a good movie. Hopefully, other film makers will look at this one and learn this lesson.
