the essence of Wolverine

Rating: 9/10 (27 July 2018)

Logan is a superhero movie on the surface, but a Western movie at heart. It brings the kinds of stories that are already present in comic books of the last 60 years to the screen in ways that are accessible to people who don't already know them, but even BETTER for those of us who have this kind of character memorized. In the actual comic-book story of Logan's fight with The Reavers, he gets crucified and left for dead; too much? Most importantly, this is the closest to the actual character of Wolverine the movies are ever likely to give us, so it deserves to be listed among the top movies of the year.
