Only seconds to Dark Knight

Rating: 9/10 (12 March 2017)

I don't normally miss a premiere of a movie this kind but had to wait till today. So here I am coming out of Logan and WOW! I was not ready for something like that! LOGAN is a comic book live action masterpiece. I'll make this SPOILER FREE since it's still too early to go in too deep. Talking about LOGAN, this is something way different than what you'd expect from a normal Marvel movie. Not another Disney-Marvel family fun filled adventure but a more mature take on a story line that is so complicated and brutal, this is proof that the franchise has really grown up since 2002. I'm so glad Fox pulled something like this off. Director James Mangold and Screenwriters Micheal Green and David James Kelly did a tremendous job staying faithful to the source material and sending off the two iconic actors who gave life to Logan and Professor Xavier for almost 17 years. Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart brought their A game for this movie and the performance is just speechless. Have to say, it took them 17 years to bring out the true self of the character Logan/Wolverine and the fact that it came out with a hard R makes it even more perfect. Logan is a movie that is so brutal, action packed and will always keep you at the edge of your seats but will also emotionally destroy you along the way. 2017 started off with a movie that is so amazing watching it once will not be enough. I don't know how Academy selections normally work but this movie deserves a go at Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor for the heart breaking performance by the legendary Patric Stewart and the well put together story that managed to stay within the borders of the original source material but was able to make audience forget it was another comic book adaptation. This is a MUST watch movie for the year 2017.
