What a suprise

Rating: 9/10 (30 January 2018)

Before going to this movie, I didn't watch trailers, didn't read anything, just went out of curiosity.
I'm very tired with super heroes movie recently, the original movies to introduce the avengers were fun and the first "the avengers movie" was pretty cool. Since then, it's all been generic movies (Thor 2, Iron man 2 and 3, Winter soldier, Age of Ultron, ewwww).
But somehow, they finally hired good people, gave them money, gave them Logan and "do something good, do something people want to see".
If you're scared of watching this because of the two previous Wolverine movies, don't. Logan is worth it. It has depth, it's grim, dark, sad, gore but not just for the sake of being like that. They worked on it. Like "Hey, if I was Wolverine, I would stab people in the face with my claws" and they did it and you see it. But they didn't cross that line "haha yeah and when he pulls out his claw, you can see the brain leaking from the guy's head and with make a focus on it for 2 seconds hahaha" nah nah nah. It's gore for the sake of "reality", not for the sake of gore.
Visually, it's pretty. Not much to say, vivid colors and tons of light, which contrasts with the darkness of the movie.
Hugh Jackman is on one of his best performances. Could be his best one (I haven't seen all his movies, working on it). He's tired, ill, rude, fed up and has seen a lot in his life. Hugh Jackman portrayed him perfectly. Whoever has to be the next Wolverine, be prepared for the hate because you have big shoes to fill after this movie.
Interesting choice is they don't explain anything to you. The X-men are gone, Xavier is going insane (due to his age?) and people are chasing someone. You kinda understand that Xavier seems to have killed the X-men by accident during an event, only Logan survived because of, well, being almost immortal. But you're dropped in this timeline with no explain and you just have to enjoy the movie.
Not gonna lie, I cried in the end, which is pretty rare for me. Okay, maybe I cried when Optimus Prime died in Transformers 2 too, but that time I cried for good reasons.
Don't watch it with someone who isn't interested or keeps talking, you're gonna spoil a good experiment.
