"So that's what is feels like . . ."

Rating: 7/10 (5 April 2017)

For better or worse "Logan" does not follow this all-too-overused cookie cutter template that most superhero movies use. "Logan" does not lack from comic relief—Patrick Stewart is comic gold—or from over the top action scenes. Director James Mangold permeates the story with action: car chases, loads of bullets, and a few choice decapitations. But, it feels significantly more reserved than his others work in this universe "The Wolverine."
Fashioned much more like an old-fashioned western like "True Grit," the baddies feel more like a throwaway sorry Boyd Holbrook, but the villain is the environment itself. Hugh Jackman's quote, "Nature made me a freak, man made me a weapon, and God made it last too long," permeates the viewer with a deep sense of the pain. "Logan" is a story about regaining that humanity by fighting for what is right, albeit this fight is forced upon him when encountered with child female clone of himself. Dafne Keen's Laura character (X-23!!!) is arguably the most enjoyable performance in this film despite having very few lines or even screen time. Jackman's capability as an actor is apparent, often evoking an emotional response that continues to gnaw at you long after you leave the theater. If you are able to gloss over the few continuity issues (how does she reach the pedals?!) or the plot holes (you seriously want me to believe that all the x-men are gone because of GMO corn?), "Logan" is a very enjoyable movie. 7/10
