Blood. Beer. Beard. Awesome?
After last year's R-rated Deadpool film it was inevitable that the studio would do the same for Wolverine. The R-rated blood and gore action sequences are a big part of this film, and although they visually look good, in some instances I had to call overkill. Almost the entirety of the supporting cast was killed off and most of the time, it was unnecessary violence that was never really substantiated (i.e. the scene where the Munson family are killed off by X-24 – Why? Was the murder vital in the plot?).
On the positive side, Logan feels real and that ultimately makes the ending the more meaningful. It also has an element of fatherhood that binds the relationship between the characters. There are a few emotional moments, that truly make the film heartfelt and quite sad.
Logan stands out in the X-Men franchise. The other X-Men films all followed a distinct formula and they never really made any big adaptions to it. If you still need further reasoning as to why you should watch this film, then just listen to the soundtrack, Kaleo's "Way Down We Go" and both Johnny Cash's "Man Comes Around" and "Hurt" are all great songs that themselves are reason enough. To end all things off, Logan is unique, quite entertaining and worth the $8 ticket price. In my opinion, it's a Jeremy Jahns - "worth buying on Blu-Ray".
