Review of Logan

Logan (2017)
8/10
the trodden warewolf !

The one and only appeal to Marvel Studios after watching this would be to retire the Wolverine charisma since no one could render it with this much exactness as Hugh Jackman. If you are going into "Logan" expecting every prospect to just be Wolverine tearing people to shreds you'll be thoroughly disenchanted. This is categorically not an action film. There are action sequences in the film, but they are not the main emphasis of the movie like the previous 2 Wolverine movies tried to make them be. "Logan" is a grounded film, a film that really takes its stint to tell its story and to develop its characters. It's a character-driven film, and it possibly has the most characterizations in an X-Men film to date.

We've never comprehended Wolverine this susceptible. He's old, he's wrecked down, and he's trodden. He can't heal like he used to. The only alteration between Logan and Nolan's Dark Knight is you can't get the epic touch with Logan.

Set in a grim near-future where very few mutants persist active, we meet an unthinkable incarnation of our favourite enclawed superhero: one who's decidedly past his prime. This is not the near-eternal Wolverine we reminisce, but Logan , a broken, far older man who feels the heft of every wound inflicted upon him. His once- formidable physique - tattooed with scars that aren't restorative as fast or as well as they used to - seems to be failing. It's only his fortitude to keep the ailing, ageing Professor Charles Xavier safe and buzzing, but fate has other plans for him.

Just when you thought Nolan has given you a trilogy of realistic superhero stuff, James Mangold directs his way into glory with this epic piece of pure awesomeness.

Highly recommended watch !
