Logan

Rating: 8/10 (11 March 2017)

Logan is high quality entertainment and is the best movie of the X-Men series. This picture has a vibrant style characterized by a dark creepy atmosphere, expressive lighting, interesting locations and good camera work. The film's plot has original ideas and grips the viewer throughout the film.
The main gripe which the critics had was excessive brutality, but this film is R-rated, and the violence is not vulgar or disturbing like in many films of today. The casting was excellent, all the main actors played very well, especially Hugh Jackman and Dafne Keen.
It is obvious when watching Logan that the director together with the crew watched many classic films and created a film influenced by the best of cinematography.
Many pictures are made purely on a green screen with excessive quantity of SFX which makes these films unrealistic, unimpressive and claustrophobic. In this respect Logan avoids this cinematographic dead end. The film was shot in many fascinating locations and the landscapes were chosen very well. The details were chosen with good taste and attention. The special effects are present, but are reserved and not intrusive like in many other pictures. The film serves as a good example on how to make a superhero picture without sacrificing artistic integrity.
