Logan Film Review

Finished watching Logan, directed by James Mangold and staring Hugh Jackman, Stephen Merchant, Patrick Stewart, Elizabeth Rodriguez, Dafne Keen and Boyd Holbrook. The film opens up with Logan (Hugh Jackman) in a fight with a group of people who try to steal the wheels of is Limo. After finishing work for the day Logan heads back home where he lives with fellow mutant Caliban (Stephen Merchant) who helps Logan to looks after an aged Professor X (Patrick Stewart) who is struggling with keeping control of his powers. One day Logan gets a job to escort Gabriella (Elizabeth Rodriguez), a nurse who is currently looking after a the young mutant Laura (Dafne Keen) and is being hunted down by the forces of Donald Pierce (Boyd Holbrook) and his Reavers who have been hired by the Transigen company to retrieve Laura. Overall this was an amazing film as it brings an end to the Wolverine portion of the X-Men franchise in the best way possible as the film comes full circle which how the film's villain having ties to Logan's own origin along with the location of the film's final scene helps to enforce this. The action is fantastic as the mature age rating allows for Logan to go full berserk within the fight scenes and not needing to hold anything back. There is a great amount of emotional scenes with in the film thanks to the history between Logan and Xavier while the inclusion of Laura makes this an extremely character driven and relatable story that is brought together thanks to an amazing script and the performance of the cast. 9.5/10.
