An enjoyable film with characters

Rating: Null/10 (9 March 2017)

Logan was a film that I was admittedly nervous about, due to the nature of X-Men Apocalypse, and X-Men Origins: Wolverine. My biggest worry was that it would focus more on Logan alone, without giving him characters to build off of and define his character. He is truly a character that needs other people to care about to be interesting.
I was satisfied when I finally got the chance to watch it, and saw that he was able to define himself with Xavier and and Laura. The character development was excellent. The film truly let you care for the characters and worry for them.
The plot was a fairly cookie cutter superhero movie plot, and I could see many plot points from a mile away. The film still felt more focused on action than the story of Logan and his struggles, which bothered me quite a bit. I loved the X-Men for the reason that it focused on imperfect characters fighting for a world that hated them.
Overall, I wish that the movie took more risks with storytelling, and focused on what I feel made the original films in the series great. The positives definitely do outnumber the negatives, and I didn't leave the theater with any disappointment. It was a fulfilling experience.
