Movie Review: “Logan”

Logan

OVERALL:  Yes. This is the Wolverine movie we devoted Marvel fans have waited for. Well done.

POINTS: This movie was a beautiful send-off to a character and an era of movie making. It was perfect.

PITFALLS: Nope. None.

FEMALE CHARACTER(S): Our star is of course Laura played beautifully by Dafne Keen. Such a powerful, visceral, feral character played to perfection. I so want to see more of her. Also well done Elizabeth Rodriguez as Gabriela and Elise Neal as Kathryn Munson. All hail the healers. 

CULTURAL PITFALL(S): Hmm… The X-Men story has always been one about bigotry and oppression. This movie put that right in the audience’s face. Well done.

HIGH POINT(S):

1.) Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. He OWNS the role and INHABITS the character. I remember the first time I saw him as Wolverine. I thought to myself “Yes! They got this right!”

2.) Sir Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier. This movie was also a beautiful send-up for Professor X as well.

3.) Dafne Keen. Just WOW!

BECHDEL TEST (Website): 3 of 3. Our nurses planned a child rescue. Well done.

RACIAL BECHDEL TEST (Website): 1 of 3.

IMDB: Logan (2017)

OFFICIAL MOVIE WEBSITE: Logan | Home | Official Movie Site

DVD/BLU-RAY WORTHY: Yes

LION PAW PRINTS:  3.5 of 5. This is the Logan we’ve been waiting for.

  1. Wow, incredible weblog format! How long have you been blogging for? you made blogging look easy. The full look of your site is great, as well as the content material!

    • Hello Alex. Thanks for your very nice comments. As for the layout and look, I thank WordPress. I’ve thought at times about changing the theme but no way. It just works for me. Thanks for liking it. 🙂

      Now go try yourself.

  2. You actually make it appear really easy together with your presentation but I to find this topic to be actually something which I feel I might never understand. It kind of feels too complex and extremely broad for me. I’m taking a look forward in your subsequent post, I’ll attempt to get the dangle of it!
