Disney take notes.

Rating: 10/10 (6 March 2017)

This is one of the best (if not the best) comic-book movies I have ever seen. It was so nice to go see a movie with one of the comic-book characters you grew up with, and not being treated as part of a demographic plan to sell tickets, toys and merchandise.
This felt like an actual movie - with heart, soul and and a story to tell. And not like a machine-made formulaic and predictable 2-hour toy commercial, full of political correct cast characters, pointless forced jokes and waves of product placement. Like all of your other Iron Man and friends movies.
The movie had action scenes when it needed to, to further the plot. And not to make you feel like your being treated as an ADHD-case by throwing something loud and shiny at you every 20 minutes.
And the action in Logan is great. It's like you're there, and feeling every punch, slash, stab and shot, along with the characters. It is very grounded, gritty, intense and easy to follow. And never scaled too big or over the top. This isn't collapsing skyscrapers with tons of flying robots, monsters, laser cannons, explosions, and people surviving the most ridiculous situations. While some blue beam shoots up in the sky, so our so called heroes can save the planet the 100th time.
This is just characters you care for (even the villains), fighting for themselves, each other and their humanity. Often in a very brutal way, but the brutality just makes the action more involving. The action isn't explicit in a gory way - like it's just trying to shock you or to be edgy, but it just pulls you more in. Actually I think a lot of PG-13 movies, could make their action scenes work this great too, without toning up the blood and violence, if they just toned down all the CGI and made the action more accessible and believable. It really isn't about the R-rating, as much as it is about involving you as a moviegoer. Instead of distancing you with CGI and unbelievable over the top shiny scenarios.
Personally I'm under the impression that people have had enough of the Disney Marvel movies, and all their imitators. Enough of expanded movie universes (that actually feels more like a commercials for another movie within the movie, more than it feels like it's expanding anything). And enough of movies about super heroes that all feel and look the same with their political correctness, CGI, demographic planning, predictable jokes and formulaic plots.
Most people just want a good movie with atmosphere, drama, and scenes where you actually can tell what's going on.
Hopefully this movie will help start up a new trend, and become a genre- defining piece, so Fox once again can be the innovators of something new, like when they first started the genre with the first X-men movie.
