The X-Men Movie We Have All Been Waiting For

Rating: 9/10 (5 April 2018)

I absolutely applaud the creators of this film; finally, we are provided a mature, interesting take on Wolverine which has been long overdue. This film touches on themes of family, unity, and most of all, minority treatment wrapped in a relatable, superhero driven package.
I've been especially critical of superhero movies in recent years. Often, in my opinion, these films feel watered down as they are pumped out faster than we can watch them. I've always had a soft spot for X-Men, though, and this is by far the best of the bunch. Wolverine is one of my favorite superheros of all time, and we are finally rewarded with a mature, explicit movie that shows wolverine exactly as he was always meant to be shown.
This film is not meant to be a sequel machine; in fact, it is quite the opposite. "Logan" is meant to be a farewell to the character as we know it, and I must say that it was done in exceeding fashion. I did not expect this movie to be as incredible as it is, simply put. The characters are complex and mature and the plot is believable and exciting. Those of us that have been waiting for an adult superhero movie with a halfway decent script are finally rewarded with "Logan".
Hugh Jackman, as usual, does a fantastic job in his role. In fact, the entire cast does a great job. This film, though, more than any of the others, has a genuine, relatable feel to it. While there are obviously mutants involved, I think this is one of the most relatable superhero movies to date. With themes that touch heavily on the treatment of minorities and discrimination, "Logan" tells a story more impactful than any superhero film made before it.
If you are an X-Men fan, then you will absolutely love this one. If you aren't, there are plenty of other reasons to see it. With excellent acting and a memorable script, "Logan" will most certainly resonate with viewers long after the credits have rolled. The themes I mentioned previously aid fantastically to the already great plot and give us something else to think about apart from action and conflict. To top it all off, there is blood, gore, and swearing to boot. This is a Wolverine film done right, and I think it is a fantastic farewell to one of the best characters in Marvel's illustrious history.
