X-Men movie franchise connections aside, Logan is a grisly and somber character drama that sends off Hugh Jackman's Wolverine on a high note.

Send confirmation emailI truly believe Logan is one of the best comic book movies of all time. It doesn't rely on Easter eggs, major cameos, or a greater universe beyond its own existence. While all those have their place and can be exciting, it was truly refreshing and equally heartbreaking to simply see a beloved character in Hugh Jackman's Wolverine getting a final and deeply personal adventure after a long life of pain, rage, loss, and ultimately love at the very end of his story. (At the same time, was very happy with how Logan was integrated into DP&W as well).
Logan is the best X-Men film. What a fantastic child-acting performance from Dafne Keene, who has to be one of the best mutants that they have introduced in recent years. The film is genuinely emotional, and has great action sequences
Great movie! Hope they make a movie with Laura X-23.
The ultimate farewell to a beloved character (Well, at the time). Logan is a bleak tale, not quite reaching the grimdark, edgy levels of its inspiration, but still appropriately bleak. From the very start, you know this world is no longer welcome for heroes, with few remaining and those who do survive a shell of their former selves. But, that is what makes Logan's arc so powerful, even after losing it all and having little to keep him going, the arrival of Dafne Keen's brilliant X-23 helps him and the audience remember what they should be fighting for, a better tomorrow, and nothing is more powerful than seeing the Wolverine rise from the ashes to make sure his "daughter" can have a better life.
After years of the X-Men films being wildly inconsistent in quality, Logan gave people everything they were looking for with a Wolverine story that was bloody and violent as it was emotional and heartwarming. It's easily the best X-Men film ever made, and while he later returned to the role in Deadpool & Wolverine, it's also a perfect sendoff to Hugh Jackman's Wolverine after over a decade.
Logan accomplishes its purpose: waving goodbye to a beloved character who was a staple in the franchise for so long. The deep emotion in this film is powerful and I was moved to tears a few times.
I feel bad that Hugh Jackman put his all into this climactic performance of his famous character, giving him a last hurrah and allowing him to go out on a high note, and then got thrown into Deadpool & Wolverine.
Logan is one of the best movies I have seen and little Laura is amazing. Only 11 years old and can act like that, superb!! She is so cute and mystical. Hugh Jackman was also very good. My favorite scene in the movie is when they are both in the truck and Laura starts yelling at Logan in Spanish and then she punches him. Hilarious is all I can say. Two thumbs up, 100 out of 100 stars!!!!
I remember seeing this movie with my college roommate on opening night. We still quote this one to each other all these years later with, "I'm not a box of avocados, Logan" being one we return to over and over. Think it's Hugh Jackman's best turn at the character. Hits me hard everytime. Daphne Keen was destined to become a star.
Logan is one of the most powerful and emotionally mature superhero films ever made. Directed by James Mangold, it serves as a gritty, heartfelt farewell to Hugh Jackman’s iconic portrayal of Wolverine after 17 years in the role.
Story
Set in a bleak 2029, mutants are nearly extinct. Logan is older, weaker, and worn down by years of pain—both physical and emotional. He takes care of a deteriorating Professor X while hiding from the world. Their lives change when a young girl, Laura (X-23), appears with abilities similar to his. Logan is forced back into heroism as they flee dangerous forces and travel toward a rumored mutant refu

Well, this movie was just okay. Being a big superhero fan, I had high expectations from Logan, but neither was it a standout for me within the X-Men film series. The plot seemed to me quite forward and straightforward, with events unfolding before my very eyes without surprise. I was expecting more from the movie for situations that are not predicted. Given there were some exciting scenes, I felt the plot could be far more multilayered and unexpected.
One third of a great movie followed by two thirds of fine, Logan has a lot of angst but surprisingly few ideas (although the self-driving trucks show what it could have been.) Watch Children of Men for the same core concept done roughly twenty times better.
