Review of Logan (2017) by Marc5477 — 11 Apr 2017

Good movie if a little over the top. They pull the heart string card a few too many times though I have to admit that I will be sad if Patrick Stewart never returns as Professor X... He was the absolute most perfect actor for the role and it will be near impossible to get a replacement. Certainly the new guy playing the younger professor was lame by comparison. The other deaths were not as big of deal though I am a fan of Jackmans Wolverine. The problem is, I just dont find Wolverine interesting. Actually I think he is downright boring and idiotic. The only thing going for him is his drive to do right but in all other aspects he was always a doorknob, even in the comics. So him dying does not matter too much. The only other complaint I had is why they couldnt get a real Spanish speaker for the girl? She had the worst Spanish accent I have seen in many years. So bad, that even I was able to spot it and Spanish is my 3rd language. Cant be that hard to find a Mexican actress in California...

Other than minor complaints, the movie was very enjoyable. Seeing these characters as old men was entertaining and watching Wolverine go up against his younger self was funny as well. I do enjoy watching bad guys get eviscerated and I like happy endings and this one had plenty of both. The villains were ok, certainly not as good as Magneto in the earlier films but adequate enough to glue the story together and keep me interested. Definitely see it if you have not.
