The title is incomplete, it should be "Logan, the Babysitter" or maybe "Logan, the bloody nanny". A movie for those who enjoy with the scene of Hawkeye's family in Avengers 2.
Better than all other x men movies combined!! period
The movie is served well by the fact it follows a few characters. The viewer gets to develop an interest in seeing what happens to them. It stands in contrast to other movies that are so jam packed with characters that each one barely gets enough screen time for a one or two lines. The movie dedicates a good amount of time to character development, while still having the flashy action blockbuster movie goers expect.
Patrick Stewart is superb at portraying his role as an aged man. Charles is proud and wise at what's truly important in life, yet he has to accept that his body is now frail and tired. I think this Charles will resonate strongly with anyone caring for an elderly significant other. But at the same time, he's almost unrecognizable compared to the Charles Xavier character from past movies.
Dafne Keen also stands out. She has the most character development as Laura. Laura's detachment and keeping a distance from people she distrusts seemed realistic and reminiscent of unaccompanied minor refugees in today's world. The bond between her and the elderly Charles is acted out well as it is unspoken.
Even Hugh Jackman tries with the script he's got. He didn't nail the clone character, partly due to how it's scripted.
Once again Hollywood can't write a tidy script if their lives depended on it. The bad guys seem able to monitor what the clone sees, yet they haven't put something in his body to shut him down/control his movements? If the clone doesn't follow orders precisely, then he's as 'defective' as the mutant children. And why doesn't he have an earpiece or implant to communicate with his handlers?
The video Gabriela leaves behind works to explain the backstory to the movie, except for why the comic book has the meeting coordinates. The comic book makers know about the mutant children or use it as a meeting point anyway? If so, then shouldn't someone be there to guard the meeting point and receive newcomers?
It would've been fine if the coordinates were handwritten in the comic book as they were on the back of Laura's group picture. Or leave the comic book out of it. Laura's group picture would have been enough, as that's what the bad guy found. Logan would see the picture, know the coordinates point to the middle of nowhere, and treat it with the same doubt and disdain as he does when he sees the comic book.
On the other hand, Charles' powers were still strong enough to paralyze a building full of people, and to communicate with Laura; Plus Laura knows how to sense and engage multiple enemies, but neither sensed Logan's clone killing people as he comes! Given his powers and intelligence, Charles' death was pathetic and anti-climactic. Laura's speech at the grave site injects some much needed emotion and recaptures the viewer. But there was no saving the next death.
Logan's death destroys what's left of the viewers' suspended disbelief. We have seen Logan manage to heal from all sorts of injuries. Even his illness isn't completely stopping his ability to heal, and he should be an expert at surviving fights. What the hell was wrong with him anyway? I thought Laura would somehow be the key to cure his illness.
The shot he took healed all his previous injuries, Thus, he shouldn't be so weak after it wears off. With a body full of adamantium, it shouldn't be so easy to kill him simply by impaling him to a tree. Couldn't the enemy shoot adamantium bullets or some weapon that could give him a mortal wound? Unless that was an adamantium tree, nothing adds up. His death was so unbelievable that after he was buried I expected to see the movie end with his claws sticking out of the ground.
Instead, the movie just sort of ends blandly.
Oh Logan :( my all time favourite superhero
I may have been a bit harsh on this the first time around. Sure some of the gore and swearing feels a bit forced and pandering and the end seems a bit anticlimactic, given this characters legacy. But as western styled farewell for Jackman it actually works fairly well. The character is filled with pain and regret. He's a broken man, who's lost everything and is barely able to keep going on. It's a sad end to a tragic mans journey. The gimmicky "Noir" version adds nothing to it though...
Its not my favorite X-Men film but Logan is a very special movie. Its a great send off to both Hugh Jackman as Logan/Wolverine and Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier. Its emotional and dramatic first but when the action is in full swing its hard to beat. Dafne Keen is incredible and will likely be one of the best child performances of the year. Logan thrives because it remains so disconnected for the rest of the X-Men movies. I really hope that Fox can continue to bring the originality with their superhero projects.
Wow!! Such an amazing movie for the X-men franchise. Beautiful story and superb acting. Still in shock at the ending. Cried a few times during this. Damn....so good but can't believe we won't see anymore Logan. :-(
Heartbreaking film. Lost for words.
God damn that wasssssssss ..........GOOD!!!
this is a great movie
peace out....
This movie is insanely good - but bring tissues, you're in for a roller coaster of emotion.
Yes this is a very dark portrait of wolverine, the kid was of course amazing but i wanted to like it even more as a movie.
This is, perhaps, the best X-Men film. It's only ever brought down by its humdrum antagonists.
absolutely brutal, i found myself going full fetal position in the cinema chair 11/10 would recommend
Much better than the others, which was easy, I liked the tone and what count, even if it is not the same as the old logan
Wow, this movie is one of the best superhero movies, it is the perfect conclusion of wolverine, the final escene was perfect.
All I am getting is the trailer any ideas please
Very very good movie, it's mature, brutal and sad.
Give me more like this please!
The only Wolverine film I like.
It's really sad that they needed 3 movies to finally get it right. Logan closes the trilogy with perfection. Really sad it's the last one.
This is the Unforgiven of superhero movies, a brutal yet tender portrayal of former heroes growing old. Logan is tired and world weary, waiting for death to take away his pain. Charles is 90, riddled with drugs to mute his mind, his "super weapon." Despite their friendship their relationship is fractured. Into their lives comes a new mutant and a road trip begins.
I don't want to say much more, having given away a little of the premise already explored in the films trailers. This is a tough, violent and sad film with few moments of humour. There is action but not of the blockbuster kind, one key car chase is like something from a 70's thriller.
This is the swan song of Logan and Charles, both actors giving it their all in their final performances as these characters. To bring them back after this film would undermine their work and the story here.
The film is brilliant and I can't recommend it enough - don't expect a traditional X-Men movie and you will be blown away. If the film itself were a mutant I would say its genes had been spliced with Mad Max and Shane, with a little bit of Children of the Corn (and I mean that in a good way). Excelsior!
I swear they show logan waking up at least 18 times in the movie. Oh look, Logan is waking up again! Oh, he's back to sleep. He's waking up!!! He's back to sleep. Now he's awake for real!! Never mind, he's back to sleep. Seriously, I almost fell asleep.
Wow.
I was expecting this to be really good, but damn.... "Logan" is great. I'm not sure if it's the heat of the moment but (for me) "Logan" is one of the best superhero movies of all time, right next to "The Dark Knight".
"Logan" goes beyond the typical superhero movie where the good guys need to stop the bad ones from 'destroying the world'. "Logan" does what comic book movies should be doing right now. This is an independent movie where occasionally appear claws. The screenplay is beautiful, the performances are perfect and the action sequences were incredible.
I have not felt so much emotion watching a movie for a long time. Happiness, sadness, proud.... I cried 3 or 4 times and shead a tear in many moments. This film moved me in a very strong way.
Were 17 years of Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart in these roles and "Logan" was the best farewell to these characters played by them. Right from the first scene we see that this is the Wolverine we always wanted.
"Logan" explores very well this Wolverine. Hugh Jackman's performance allowed us to felt every single one of Wolverine's emotions throughout the all movie. Patrick Stewart was spetacular and I won't be surprised that in end of 2017 his performance was one of the best in the year. Dafne Keen was a good surprise, wasn't expecting her to be so good. The supporting cast was also perfect.
In the end of the film I knew there would be no post-credit scene. However, I decided to stay until the end to honor this beautiful movie. Thank you James Mangold, thank you Patrick Stewart and thank you very much, Hugh Jackman. You were the best Logan we could ask for.
Are you serious? Inexistent plot, poor action! A child of how many years? 14? That fight against the world...sorry but it's not the kind of film that I expected
It was funny to see Logan so weak I was impress with the kids new generations.
Loved it. It was such an action packed emotional ride. It showed a different side to our heros.
This isn't your typical big blockbuster X-MEN film. Unlike literally every superhero movie released, "Logan" is not a plot driven by someones superpowers and

The film that the Wolverine deserves, anything before this shall be omitted from X-Men history
