An "X-Men" movie for the adult audience...

Rating: 8/10 (15 April 2017)

Now, first and foremost I must stand forth and say that superhero movies is not my go-to pick of movies when presented with alternate choices. Why? Well, because I just don't really enjoy the superhero theme all that much. Usually, they provide nothing more than visual entertainment for me.
However, I will say that "Logan" manages to stand out in the superhero genre; a genre that is well-diluted with mediocre attempts of bringing comic book heroes to life on the big screen. "Logan", however, steps away from the absurdly generic mould that superhero movies tend to follow, and it is not the superhuman powers of the characters that is the drive behind the movie.
What makes "Logan" so good and entertaining, is that this is a movie intended for a mature audience, and it leaves the generic superhero archetype behind as it has been seen in most previous "X-Men" movies. With that being said, I will also continue on to state that "Logan" is actually the best of all the installments into the "X-Men" universe on the big screen so far.
This is a movie that is driven by a good story, and spiced up with good characters and good acting all around. This is also the most violent and bloody of all the "X-Men" movies, take it as it is, like it or dislike it - that is a personal preference, of course. I did, however, enjoy the approach and the more dark atmosphere that permeated this entire movie. It was refreshing not to see a rose-tinted superhero movie where you know that the heroes will prevail against insurmountable odds.
Sure, the effects in "Logan" are great, and they do help the movie along quite nicely.
I was more than genuinely surprised with how good "Logan" turned out to be, and this movie does have enough entertainment contents to sustain multiple viewings. My rating for "Logan" is 8 out of 10 stars, without a doubt. And this is a well-worthy addition to the "X-Men" franchise.
