Logan's run comes to an end...

Rating: 8/10 (4 March 2017)

Logan is a heart warming addition to the X-men franchise. The film is different to the rest of the X-men films â€“ it is far more subtle. But it does not disappoint; it is an emotional thrill ride packed with action and presented in an 'R' rated format true to the original savage nature of Wolverine.
The acting in Logan is of course of a very high calibre. Hugh Jackman portrays a dishevelled Wolverine effortlessly. It is definitely one of his best performances to date. Patrick Stewart also returns in this film as Professor X. He also acts the part masterfully as he has done for many years. Dafne Keen gives a great performance which adds a really interesting dynamic to the film.
James Mangold's directing is excellent. The shots in the film all look incredible. It truly feels like Mangold cares for the source material and has poured his heart into every frame of the picture.
The film does play a little fast and loose with the mythology of Wolverine. Having said this, it is hard to hold a grudge against this film as it delivers on so many other levels. It really delivers an emotional punch!
I have grown up with the X-men films, so to see this film bring about an effective conclusion to the character arc of Wolverine is satisfying closure. I particularly like the father/daughter parts of the film as they are oozing with emotion. The ending of the film is very symbolic and marks the end of an era perfectly.
To sum up, I feel that the film is very good watch and I recommend it to everyone who love the character of Wolverine as much as I do. I would give the film 8 out of 10 as it is a poignant end to Hugh Jackman's Wolverine.
