The best comic book hero movie ever, period.

Rating: 10/10 (3 March 2017)

It is a sweet irony that the reason that makes Logan the best superhero movie is that at its heart it is not a superhero movie. Wolverine, in the movies, has always been a reluctant hero but they have never properly captured how tragic of a character he is until now. Here we see him old and broken down, both in mind and body. He isn't an X- man, and he isn't wearing tights. This is the Wolverine movie I have been waiting for. It is grounded, gritty, gory, over- the-top, and surprisingly heartfelt. In short, it is everything it needs to be. A strong theme in this movie is the relationship between Logan and Charles Xavier, and I feel that it has always been a strong theme throughout the X-men movies. It really gives the events of this movie weight and makes the third act soul-crushing if you care for these characters deeply. I can't fault the movie though, because it handles everything so well and gives them the most appropriate sendoff that I have ever seen. The movie left me heartbroken at the end, but I wouldn't change a thing.
