A good movie with some flaws.

Rating: 8/10 (4 March 2017)

I know that Wolverine and the X-Men are a popular Marvel superhero franchise and have had their ups and downs. Let me say for one that I have never been a person who was really into the franchise. I didn't watch the animated TV shows, read the comic or watch the movies. Because of this, I went into the movie blindly. Because of that, I will judge this movie as a movie and not as an adaptation of the comic series.
Unlike what I've seen from most superhero films, the movie's focus seems to focus on the adventure aspect. Whether this is can be considered a good or bad thing is subjective. This somewhat made me feel underwhelmed considering the fact that this somewhat breaks the mold of superhero films. Normally, superhero films have many action scenes, this film on the other hand only has a handful of action scenes, and the only one I found to be interesting was the one at the end. In spite of the lack of fight scenes, the fight scenes were very well executed with interesting camera angles and camera movement, and the movements of the characters especially translated well during that final fight scene. I did really like the character growth between Logan and the girl, which might be one of the main highlights of the movie's story for me. Aside from that, I really can't judge the characters since I haven't read the comics. If there's one thing that I can give acclaim to, it's the acting. I thought the acting performances were really well done; whether it'd be Hugh Jackman as Logan or Dafne Keen as the child or many of the other actors, you'll have a hard time forgetting these acting performances for what they are.
I may not have found it fantastic as many other critics have, but Logan will at least give you a memorable experience. If you're an X- Men fan, then you might like it more than I did.
