9.0/10.0
This is not a superhero movie. It's a movie about family and friendship, duty and sacrifice, morality and immorality, mortality and illness, and ideals and hope.
Logan is well-written but could have used a little more specific direction at times in my opinion.
I don't know anything about the young actress playing the role of X-23 but she definitely has the eyes and facial expressions of a very talented pro. I got a small but similar vibe from her that I got from Natalie Portman in
The Professional. Hopefully she will be doing more English films in the future.
My hat's off to Jackman and Stewart if this is their swan song performances in the Wolverine/X-Men franchise. They did a great job expressing what the X-Men ideal is at its core, far removed from the special effects powers and visualizations. To quote a line from
The Prince Of Egypt: "Although hope is frail, it's hard to kill."
I'm very tempted towards placing
Logan not just at the top of
The Wolverine franchise but also atop the entire
X-Men franchise. But I do echo
@viman96 earlier caution.
Logan showcases The Wolverine world at its finest and is not meant for kids.
