One of the best, well written, emotional, and action filled super hero films ever.

Rating: 8/10 (6 March 2017)

Logan is truly amazing.
I've been excited for Logan for a very long time, the idea of an older, more stern, grittier wolverine is an amazing idea that you can go a long way with. Logan took that idea and made a fantastic film.
Here's the good, and there's quite a few.
The acting in this movie is fantastic. Hugh Jackman does a fantastic job as always playing Logan. He really went deep into his character, bringing out one of the best performances of his career. Patrick Stewart was also amazing as always playing professor X. He didn't act his age throughout the entire film, really doing a good job making the audience think he's in his 90s. Newcomer Dafne Keen is the breakout star of this movie, pulling off an amazing character. Child actors aren't always good but Keen is magnificent as her character, really pushing the film to be amazing. Overall, everyone in the movie did a fantastic job acting.
The cinematography and lighting in this movie was beautiful. The lighting set a tone for each scene whether it be the dim lit area where professor X spends most of his time or a neon light illuminated action scene. The cinematography gives the movie life with each shot. The way it's filmed is expertly done and looks gorgeous.
The story's plot is well written, interesting, and isn't something we normally see in a superhero film. The movie didn't shy away from taking risks, it didn't hold back with violence, and it wasn't scared to make the audience cry. The movie follows an older Wolverine who is taking care of an even older Professor X. Beaten and driven down from his past and his healing factor slowly fading, he must help himself and the ones he cares for. The movie has a great chemistry between Logan and Laura. The movies especially shined when the two were on screen together.
Here's the bad.
Here's my only gripe with the movie, it can be slow at parts. The pacing is a bit of an issue towards the middle but not for long. Other than this, I didn't have any other problems with Logan.
Overall, Logan is a fantastic film, pushing a touching story, great acting, beautiful cinematography, and unique lighting. While it may suffer from pacing issues towards the middle it never took away from the overall narrative of the movie. Logan is something special, something we haven't quite seen from a superhero film. I'm excited to see what the X-men franchise has for us in the future.
