One of Cinema's Greatest Films, Regardless of Genre

Rating: 10/10 (21 August 2018)

Simply put the best and most human superhero film to date. The trailer itself was beautiful and heightened my expectations for the film. As soon as the film begins you knew you were experiencing something different and refreshing. It breaks the flashy and clichÃ© mold often exhibited by Marvel's most noteworthy blockbusters. Instead of the flashiness 'Logan' is more of a neo-western than it is a superhero movie and that creative decision pays off immensely. Incredibly violent, but the violence is earned, unlike other comic book movies, 'Logan' shows you the consequences of violence in the most visceral way. Beautifully filmed, directed, scored, and acted. The movie itself and its leading trio of Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, and the incredibly talented newcomer Dafne Keen were all worthy of serious Oscar consideration. This movie will always hold a special place in my heart, not only was it the perfect swan song to Hugh Jackman's tremendous run as Wolverine, but of the countless movies I have had the pleasure of viewing this was the only one that successfully and shamelessly moved me to tears. It was a pleasant surprise to experience a movie starring a superhero that felt genuinely intimate with believable stakes. I highly encourage anyone and everyone to take the time to watch 'Logan' in both it's theatrical and black and white 'Noir' cut as well.
