Logan (2017)
Directed by James
Mangold this film stars Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Boyd Holbrook
and Dafne Keen. Many years in the future an aged Wolverine is called
to help a young mutant girl as he tries to look after Professor X who
is suffering from a brain disease.
Continuing the
sequence of every stand alone Wolverine film being better than it's
predecessor this is the best X-Men film in some time. What I love
most about this film is the way it brings something new to the genre,
a look at what happens to our heroes once they are past their prime.
While I do believe that everything is Shane (1953) this film does
occasionally get a little too close to being heavy handed in drawing
parallels. There are some great performances from Patrick Stewart and
Hugh Jackman, it will be a real shame that Jackman is retiring from
the role but this was a great way to go out.
4/5
