Raw, Brutal, Uncompromising and Outstanding

Rating: 9/10 (9 March 2017)

Logan has been on my radar for a while because it looked different. Super hero movies these days (this is not an insult it is common knowledge) have become somewhat formulaic. Marvel is particularly guilty of this and you cannot blame them because they have churned out good movie after good movie.
Logan is something else entirely.
From the first five minutes you know you are in for something very different not just because of the "R" rating, but because of the dirty, gritty nature of the first scene.
When the violence erupts it is presented in a no holds barred brutal manner you would expect from a guy who has lived a life as long, brutal and as violent as Logan has. He has had enough of having to fight his whole life and when he does fight he is absolutely doing it with no holds barred.
The action scenes are designed amazingly well and it is nice to see them grounded in reality especially after "Apocalypse" and its super cartoon like flippy twirling action scenes.
I have not returned to see an XMEN movie in the theater a second time, and I loved "Days of Future Past". I will be returning to see Logan again. I may be naive but I think Jackman should receive award consideration for his role as Logan.
I cannot recommend Logan higher. The only reason it does not get a perfect 10/10 score is because of some continuity issues with previous installments of the franchise.
Leave the little ones at home. Judge what your kids can handle by seeing it first without them if they are under 15. If they are under 10 they should skip this one until they are ready to see it at home when they are older.
