Logan: The Wolverine (2017)

Logan: The Wolverine: Directed by James Mangold. With Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Dafne Keen, Boyd Holbrook. In a future where mutants are nearly extinct, an elderly and weary Logan leads a quiet life. But when Laura, a mutant child pursued by scientists, comes to him for help, he must get her to safety.

“The best X-Men film alongside First Class. It felt gritty, it felt real with a sense of dread and hopelessness you donu0026#39;t often see in this comic-book blockbuster adaptations. It should be praised for doing things differently and really pushing the edge with what can or canu0026#39;t be done in the genre. The triangle between Logan, Charles and Laura works as the driving force of the plot, and is very well developed. Loganu0026#39;s character arch is quite pleasant to watch, though obviously predictable. With that said, the acting is clearly masterclass. You can feel the dilemmas, the emotions and feelings that the characters are put through, specially those three. And another thing it does really well is alluding to a previous event – the Charles incident – but never fully explaining it to the audience, leaving you wondering. The action is nothing like youu0026#39;d expect from a tenthpole – the R rating really makes up for wonders – being quite visceral and impactful. u0026quot;Loganu0026quot; probably deserved a better villain, although one could argue that the real villain here is not the typical multinational corporation, but the inner demons of the characters. Demons that prevent them from living albeit normal and somewhat stable life.”
