A Sombre, Touching Finale for Jackman & Stewart,

Rating: 9/10 (1 April 2017)

Logan is a brilliant movie with a very well developed plot and an outstanding cast that are all given time to shine. It is completely unlike any other superhero film, it has a gritty, western vibe throughout, scenery and cinematography that you will not see in any other X- Men film, and dialogue heavy moments with no action, this really is groundbreaking work. What really surprised me about this film is that you can go in to it completely blind, you do not have to have seen any other X-Men film, it stands on its own.
I did feel the movie could have been a bit more sentimental. Considering the fact that it's the finale for Wolverine and Charles, there is little reflection. There is one beautiful moment where they speak about first meeting each other, I would love to have had more moments like that, to showcase the history they have with each other.
It is certainly sad watching this movie knowing that this is the last time we will ever see Hugh Jackman and Patrick Steawart in their very famous roles, but they certainly went out with a bang. The connection between them here is stronger than ever, they are both clearly at ease with one another and it makes for pure, natural acting. Dafne Keen also shines as Laura, for such a young girl she seemed well capable of holding a strong character throughout, and her chemistry with Jackman and Stewart is very sweet. Stephen Merchant also surprised me, I was expecting him to be comic relief and thought that he would have felt very out place in this universe, but he is actually stellar in this role, delivering little humorous dialogue, he completely transforms.
You will walk away with great sadness, but also feeling like they could not have closed off these characters arch's any better way. Dark, action packed, well acted and grounded, Logan is a must see for all X-Mem fans, as well if you are looking for a good action or drama.
When Logan and Charles discover a young mutant, they must hide her from dark forces and search for more of her kind.
Best Performance: Hugh Jackman
