Directed by James Mangold. With Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Dafne Keen, Boyd Holbrook. In the near future, a weary Logan cares for an ailing Professor X. Logan is a American superhero film starring Hugh Jackman as the X-Men character Wolverine. It is the tenth installment in the X-Men film series, as well as .
Eight years after the Joker's reign of anarchy, Batman, with the help of the enigmatic Catwoman, is forced from his exile to save Gotham City, now on the edge of total annihilation, from the brutal guerrilla terrorist Bane. A fast-talking mercenary with a morbid sense of humor is subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers and a quest for revenge. After training with his mentor, Batman begins his fight to free crime-ridden Gotham City from corruption. In the mutant population has shrunken significantly due to genetically modified plants designed to reduce mutant powers and the X-Men have disbanded.
Logan, whose power to self-heal is dwindling, has surrendered himself to alcohol and now earns a living as a chauffeur. He takes care of the ailing old Professor X whom he keeps hidden away. One day, a female stranger asks Logan to drive a girl named Laura to the Canadian border.
At first he refuses, but the Professor has been waiting for a long time for her to appear. Laura possesses an extraordinary fighting prowess and is in many ways like Wolverine. She is pursued by sinister figures working for a powerful corporation; this is because they made her, with Logan's DNA. A decrepit Logan is forced to ask himself if he can or even wants to put his remaining powers to good use. It would appear that in the near-future, the times in which they were able put the world to rights with razor sharp claws and telepathic powers are now over.
Without question, this was Hugh Jackman's movie, from start to finish. No matter how you view it, or who the mantle is passed onto next, Jackman will forever be Wolverine, and this film proves it once and for all. Logan dives deep into the hearts of its viewers, twisting and turning until every emotional string is pulled, and in the end, delivers a superhero film like no other before it; a perfect swan song.
Logan heavily, and fittingly, borrows from Marvel's iconic 'Old Man Logan' comic to tell the story of a grim and desolate future, where mutant-kind is all but extinct. It pushes the film into an extremely dark and forbidding tone, which helps carve the movie into one of immense intensity and emotion. The 'R' rating, of course, also allows for studious amounts of gore and profanity, but those elements don't feel like they were added just because they could be, they only added to the atmosphere Mangold created for this film, and in turn helps set the narrative to be nothing short of enthralling.
The pacing is spot on, the dialogue is stellar and the emotional weight is that of a moving mountain. I applaud Mangold for his brilliant writing, and subsequent directing, as he was at last able to produce the Wolverine story every fan has been craving for the last 17 years, one of raw emotion, brutality and pure magnificence. Hugh Jackman has devoted the last 17 years of his career to this beloved character, and now, he leaves it all on the table, giving the performance of a lifetime, one which could seriously garner some looks at an Oscar nomination.
I also really disliked the entire clone of Logan aspect, I realise that's a major part of his characters backstory but seeing two Jackman's one looking kinda goofy with those muttonchops fighting each other just looks stupid. The effects were handled well inevitable CGI superhero stuff aside but that kind of thing always looks daft to me. Also the clone of Logan X could have easily killed him at any point, just taken his head off, but no we gotta do the usual throwing thing. That's the other thing about these X-Men. In other words what else do you expect a bloke with claws to do all the time, exactly.
Seeing Logan slice 'n' dice people isn't awesome anymore folks, we've been there and done it. Simply adding blood and gore doesn't really make it any more exciting or better. I just get the impression this movie seems to have been blown way way outta proportion simply because it was Huge Jackaman's last outing as Wolverine and everybody likes him in the role.
Oh and of course it was an R rating so that makes it instantly cooler, apparently. Was this a bad movie?
Was it a good X-Men movie? One of the best ones? Was it a stunning movie?
No, it was a solid but completely unoriginal chase movie in a superhero wrapping. Don't get me wrong I didn't not like it, its certainly one of the better comicbook superhero based flicks, I just didn't see what all the fuss was about. In no way does this movie deserve the hype it got, in my opinion. The Wolverine movie I've wanted since I was eight years old. James Mangold's brutal second foray in the standalone adventures of the X-Men's most popular mutant is a bold, savage vision with maturity and grit not seen in a superhero film before or most modern blockbusters for that matter.
Highlighted by arguably the best performance of Hugh Jackman's career, and fittingly in his signature role, "Logan" in not only the surefire best entry in the entire X-Men film franchise Logan sees tremendous success by countering what has become expected of the genre that is Hollywood Superhero films. It's more of a Western than anything, with it's desolate setting filled with gritty and nuanced performances.
Even the abundance of razor claw action never feels manufactured on the backdrop of monochromatic realism. Yet, there's just enough style to make you shiver as he guts goons left and right. Effective use of themes in legacy, family and belonging takes Jackman's trademark character through one last journey of self discovery.
It prudently sheds ties with the franchise's previous failures and comes to it's own but still stumbles a bit into unsavory tropes with it's "big bad" villains. Still, a well conceived send off for the Wolverine, may he rest in peace! More Top Movies Trailers Forums.

View All Photos 7. Mutants are gone--or very nearly so. An isolated, despondent Logan is drinking his days away in a hideout on a remote stretch of the Mexican border, picking up petty cash as a driver for hire. His companions in exile are the outcast Caliban and an ailing Professor X, whose singular mind is plagued by worsening seizures. But Logan's attempts to hide from the world and his legacy abruptly end when a mysterious woman appears with an urgent request--that Logan shepherd an extraordinary young girl to safety.
Soon, the claws come out as Logan must face off against dark forces and a villain from his own past on a live-or-die mission, one that will set the time-worn warrior on a path toward fulfilling his destiny. R for strong brutal violence and language throughout, and for brief nudity.
