Best Comic Book Film Ever

Rating: 10/10 (14 May 2018)

Hugh Jackman has portrayed Wolverine since 2000 and hasn't impressed me once. I never understood why Wolverine was so popular and I think that's because he has always been in PG-13 films. Not that blood, gore and swearing make a character better, but when your powers involve constant pain and close up murder, it helps to be more mature about it. I finally get Wolverine because 'Logan' finally gets him. Hugh Jackman goes from a cocky and confident superhero to the depressed, suicidal psychopath that Wolverine has always been but the films have never taken advantage of. In this film, Wolverine stabs and slashes his way through bad guys in brutally painful detail between his constant drinking and swearing. His performance is extremely emotional and cuts deep. The story is consistently exciting and always developing. The action is well done and has a feeling of epicness, even when it's gory. X-23 AKA Laura is a standout as the little girl equivalent of wolverine, offering emotion and genuinely impressive beats of both action and comic reflief (although the comedy is kept to a bare minimum in order to maintain the intensity). There are three villains in this film, one is forgettable, one is entertaining as hell to watch and well written, and the third is absolutely perfect in terms of threat and execution along with being poetic and unbelievably cool. Without spoilers, the third act explodes in action and drama, to a level rarely seen in superhero films.
This is the best comic book movie I've seen and one of the best blockbusters ever made. This is far from a regular marvel children's film. This is a dark and mature masterpiece with amazing dialogue, direction and performances. 10/10
