The R-rating does represent truth in advertising, and it has conferred a kind of liberation on what strikes me, a violence-averse moviegoer at heart, as the best superhero film to come out of the comic-book world, and I’m not forgetting Tim Burton’s “Batman” or Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight.” Read full review

It’s not just one of the best superhero movies ever – it’s a damn-fine cinematic representation of the human condition in all its agonizing forms. Read full review

Logan is the rare blockbuster that could be a game-changer. It will certainly change the way we look at other superhero movies and how history judges the entire MCU and DC Universe of films. Read full review

As light on his feet as he is as a musical-comedy showman, Jackman is perversely even more pleasurable when he’s popping neck veins from the effort of heavy drama. Read full review

A movie with the bleakest vision of Wolverine yet, but also hands down the best treatment the character has received on the big screen in the fifteen plus years Jackman has inhabited the role. Read full review

Logan is another heinous and sophomoric waste of Hugh Jackman ‘s time and considerable talent and another expensive throwaway aimed at milking money out of people who still read comic books. Color it stupid. Read full review

'Logan' is the perfect goodbye to these beloved characters. Is bold and unusual, gory and well directed. I would be very pleased if Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart would run for the Oscars next year.

Absolutely, without a doubt, the single best superhero movie I have ever seen. Not only that, it is on the very top of my list of favorite "real movies" as well. I can't really come up with a better movie at this moment.

We went to see Logan in the RPX so we could choose our seat. However, it was a Tuesday and the RPX is double the price of the discounted Tuesday prices for other showings that there wasn't a packed theater. This meant no distractions and we could focus on the movie.

I can't go into too much detail here, I don't want this to have spoilers, but I can say I will post again and break it down. The movie had a huge personal impact.

What I can say is this is not your Avenger's big tent action movie. The focus is on an aging Logan, Professor X and a young Laura (c'mon its not a spoiler if its in the trailer). Laura is being hunted by a group of powerful mercenaries and Logan and Professor X are trying to protect her.

The R rating does allow people to see the brutality of what it would be like to fight Wolverine, limbs and heads amputated, faces clawed open and the absolute monster that Wolverine could be in a fight. That however was not what the rating really made better. The storytelling was much better. It could handle much more adult subjects such as aging, consequences of a life of conflict, and family. This movie is not for someone who is a child or who is only interested in a mutant battle. If that is the limit of a movie you are interested, go see the new Thor, Spider Man or Guardians of the Galaxy movies coming out this summer.

I won't say anything else about the plot of the movie except to say it mirrors Deadpool in a way. Instead of redefining a superhero movie into a darker comedy, Logan transforms this movie into a gritty western as much as a superhero movie. It has a very broad, if very adult, scope for an audience. Some have talked about Oscars. I think it would be justified to receive best actor/supporting actor nominations if not the actual Oscars themselves.

The emotional impact of this movie hit both me and the hubby that night. It was near the anniversary of my father's death (one year) and there were a lot of similarities, the movie was like a gut punch. Those I will talk about in my next post about Logan where I can break out spoilers.

The biggest takeaway I saw another critic say is that the R rating is an excellent injection into the superhero niche. Not for violence, but for the way it can open a story up and allow superhero movies to grow up and become full stories, not just comics.

It has been reported that this is Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart's last movie each for their characters. 20 years of Wolverine and Professor X wrapped up on the best superhero movie made. I am sad they are turning in their characters, but I have to say it was absolutely the best movie they could have chosen to do so.

The good: Absolutely the best acting in any superhero movie, and in the top for conventional movies. The story is tight, not distracted with explosions or too many special effects. It satisfies both the action need and the story need that no other superhero movie can.

The bad: It is the last movie with Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman playing their characters.… Expand

Logan, to put it simply, was a fantastic movie. The reason it succeeded so much was because it was grounded. It kept us with the characters and we were able to relate to the characters despite the superhero background.

All of the actors were impressive, and Jackman was impressive as always.Logan, to put it simply, was a fantastic movie. The reason it succeeded so much was because it was grounded. It kept us with the characters and we were able to relate to the characters despite the superhero background.

All of the actors were impressive, and Jackman was impressive as always. I loved X-23, she was hilarious and badass at the same time.

The action scenes were very impressive as well. There wasn't major CGI or special effects, but they were very well directed and exciting.

Overall I would say that this was a fantastic movie. It was emotional, exciting and at times terrifying. I would recommend it to pretty much anybody.… Expand

Hugh Jackman in the role of a never seen Wolverine: tired and decadent, and with a certain pattern side. The sequences of violence are visceral but justified. Perchance one of best superhero movies of 2017.

Мои завышенные ожидания не оправдались и я даже немного разочарован.
Рейтинг R пошёл на ползу, фильм выглядит взрослым не только из-за жестокости, но и из-за атмосферы, диалогов. К концу фильма диалогов становится всё больше и меня они утомили, они интересные, но порой слишком затянутые.Мои завышенные ожидания не оправдались и я даже немного разочарован.
Рейтинг R пошёл на ползу, фильм выглядит взрослым не только из-за жестокости, но и из-за атмосферы, диалогов. К концу фильма диалогов становится всё больше и меня они утомили, они интересные, но порой слишком затянутые. Экшен сделан на твёрдую 5, теперь словно чувствуешь когти росомахи, кровь летит во все стороны вместе с руками и ногами.
Итог: Отличное кино, где всё аспекты выполнены очень грамотно, но в целом, я бы не сказал "вау".… Expand
