Review of Logan (2017) by Josh S — 18 Jun 2017

While Logan seems to be universally loved by most, this adaptation of the Old Man Logan story from the comics falls a little flat for me. While Logan is no stranger to violence it seems to me what people are mostly lauding is just that, violence, however I think the story of this film while appropriate, as it is Jackman's last turn as hard-nosed mutant, signaling the end of era, the lack f depth with the characters around Wolverine is what I think is missing.

While we all know and love Jackman's Logan and Patrick Stewart's Professor Xavier, we find out and therefore care very little for the child dubbed X-23. While I will stand with most, applauding finally getting the Wolverine film where he can be all he can be, I think this film could have been oh so much more if a little more care had been taking introducing us to the character Wolverine gives up so much to protect.

Ultimately it's just too little, too late.
