I have been waiting to check out Logan since the day that
Trailer dropped and this has been a long ass wait. Finally got
to check it out and it more then delivered expectations. I had
set the bar pretty high based on the trailer and the story for
this one and of course this being the final outing for Hugh
Jackman as Wolverine / Logan. There is a lot to like about the
film, but first I gotta talk about the R-Rating this movie gets.
One of the big selling points was of course that this wasn't
going to be your cookie cutter, generic Superhero flick. It was
going to be a gritty, dirty and in-your-face flick. So, did get
earn its R-Rating? Oh hell f*cking yeah it does! Seriously,
Logan makes every other X-Men flick look pretty lame by
comparison in how sanitized they are. Logan is truly the only
legit movie that gets the character right because of what we
finally get on the big screen. With that said, I was really
shocked at just how intense, violent and gory it was at times.
I'm talking about decapitations, impaling's, limbs being sliced
off. If you can think of a gruesome way to go...it's in here.
Also, they made good use of the F-Bombs. Definitely earned a
very, very hard R and I loved it for that.
As for the story, it was done extremely well. Basically we are
following both Logan and Xavier as they both are facing their
own mortality. The story takes place long after their days as
members of X-Men and are well beyond their prime. Along the way
we get a new character Laura / X-23 played by Dafne Keen who is
fantastic in the role. It's no spoiler to mention that she turns
out to be Logan's daughter. It's pretty obvious from the
trailer. But the movie's heart and soul of course comes from the
extraordinary performance by Jackman. You will get tears in your
eyes by the end. Not to be outdone of course is Patrick Stewart
is gives another great performance as well. I highly recommend
this a must-Buy. I'll wait to see if there is going to be a
Special Deluxe Edition DVD though. The Library only had a
bare-bones version that only had deleted scenes and commentary.
I want more than that. Anyway, some amazing set pieces that will
give you a rush no doubt. Logan taking on X-24 is a scene
stealer no doubt. 5 Stars out of 5. This movie is just so
f*cking good!

That was such a good movie.
You know what's really strange? Despite so much of it being in
out of the way places, it feels like it takes place in the real
world a lot more than any of the other X-Men movies do. I'm not
sure why.
Laura was awesome, great communication with the eyes. Patrick
Stewart was fantastic, I can see why he wouldn't want to play
Charles again given how much he was able to do with Charles in
that condition (with the exception of Legion, which I'm sure
would give him space to play as well). Jackman was fantastic,
you just get that sense of... the whole hundred plus years of
life, the end of the X-Men, everything.. he's carrying that all
the time, he's persisting but he wants it to end but knows he
can't give up yet. That's in every breath of the performance.
Wonderful. And I had no idea that Stephen Merchant was in this
or that he would be that good as Caliban.

The movie is still resonating with me long after having watched
it. It's just THAT good.
