Logan Non-Spoiler Review


Logan Non-Spoiler Review

I can assure you there is no way to anticipate seeing what you will see in this film.
From the start of the movie (and prior ,with the Deadpool tease) you know this is not your typical X-men film. The amount of "Fucks" that are blurted out was a little off-putting if only because we haven't seen these characters in a movie like this before.
Hugh Jackman is absolutely brutal as Wolverine and this is easily his greatest portrayal of Weapon-X yet. (I dont care what he says, I believe we will see him as Wolvy again.)
Dafne Keen is fantastic as X-23 (not a spoiler if you have seen the previews). She is an extraordinary actress at such a young age and brings so much depth to a character with...well you will see.
The story is pretty fast paced for the most part, when it does slow down we get some great moments from Professor X and Logan that brings some levity to a very earnest film.
There was also a time during the movie that I had to question myself if it was weird to be grinning ear-to-ear as I saw X-23 and Logan tearing apart bad-guys side-by-side.... NO ITS NOT. While The action is fantastic and brutal it does fit who these characters are and what they are up against.
I will leave you with this. I haven't felt this way walking out of a comic book movie since Man of Steel.
That final scene though... wow

Thanks for reading
