A remarkable film that happens to be about a comic book character

Rating: 10/10 (17 April 2017)

Logan is the difference between a really good film, and a good comic book adaptation. The acting alone is enough to make the film worthy of the 2+ hours with both Stewart and Jackman performing award clinching performances, not to mention the breakout star in Dafne Keen. This film has more facial close ups than action scenes that allowed the audience a glimpse of character depth not normally seen in the MCU. They do so without going overboard and it's at par with what I would call as the best of its genre in the Dark Knight trilogy. I enjoyed it as a film, the Wolverine character was just layered into the plot of an amazing masterpiece. Don't' compare it to any X-men, Avengers, or Guardians of the Galaxy movie - those have their own place in cinema and are equally enjoyable in my opinion, but this is a great movie more than a comic book popcorn film. To give you an idea of how different it is – there are no end credit scenes! (not a spoiler!) There is nothing to connect it to and nothing better to look forward to because they executed the story with perfection and ended it the way a film should be ended without additional gimmicks. I will mention a minor spoiler so stop reading if you haven't seen it: I can see how they can fold Jackman into a future Marvel episode but still be technically correct with his consistent stance that this is his last Wolverine movie! That would be the biggest treat!
