Different, realistic, character driven approach to X-Men

Rating: 9/10 (2 March 2017)

While it is a Marvel movie and a X-Men movie; Logan is very different than the other movies of X-Men and Marvel. It is more like a character based drama that happens to center around characters of Logan and Xavier.
If you are planning to go to that movie with the intention of seeing the next Marvel movie with its light heart-ed humor, or next X-Men movie where they don their sleek outfits and mutant-power their way through a world threatening evil; please note that this is not one of those.
Movie feels very different in the sense that it takes itself very seriously. No humor that is placed there that is aimed at the invisible audience superhero knows to be there, no action scenes where all the troubles of a beating and conflict is magically wiped away at the next scene. Also no billion dollar cutting edge tech stealth planes and state of the art tech mansions where characters are only concerned about world politics and threats since they somehow all live off some kind of trust fund.
Reality of life is in the center of the movie. The struggle of those characters with decaying health, with money struggle, with grief of the past events in a world that does not have a place for them anymore and their conflicting way of looking at what 'future' means. Those are things what this movie is mostly about, and the interactions between Xavior, Laura and Logan.
If you always liked Xavior and Wolverine; and wanted to see more of them in a more character focused story; then you will love Logan.
But if you are looking for a movie where heroes don their sleek uniform and beat the next bad guy in some flashy action where fight's only purpose is to entertain audience; you might find this movie to be off- putting and depressing.
