Logan. The wolverine movie we deserved.

Rating: 9/10 (5 March 2017)

There are many things I can say about wolverine films and their dwindling ratings across the xmen franchise (lets forget origins).
But there is nothing more I can say about this film than truly epic and grand.
From the get go this film takes the best elements from the logan comic book and creates a perfect rendition of logan as a character.
Note that from the get go you get the R rated experience that we always dreamed of from a wolverine picture. With blood violence and excessive amounts of swearing. Everything a true logan fan needs The cinematography for this film is some of the most beautiful and creative from any of the xmen franchise with some pieces that show the elegance of the camera. Scenes of fast paced action are caught with an keen eye along with the art of slow motion in other scenes.
The story although not capturing everything from the logan graphic novel does its very best to recreate vital scenes from said graphic novel. The writers have taken great care to bring characters beloved by all and re-create their personalities on the big screen with amazing accuracy. Although this movies story stands very well on its own feet even without taking every element from the graphic novel.
The thing makes this movie, are the performances from all of the actors. The most noticeable performance in my personal opinion was from rising star actress Dafne Keen Patrick Stewart and Hugh jackman with some amazing heart felt emotional performances which left myself tearing up on several occasions. I would never recommend any actors from a single film for an Oscar more highly than Hugh jackman and Dafne Keen.
Last year I wrote a slight review for deadpool rating it my 2nd best hero franchise film of all time at a 9/10 and thought it would be hard to top.
Read these words and know that (I Damian hockey) rate Logan as my 2nd highest rated super hero film of all time. And will be coming back to watch again in the cinema in a few days.
9/10
