Silver Screen in 2017 {Logan}


So you thought Deadpool was violent and the new norm for superhero "adult" films. Well Logan, the final Wolverine and maybe X-Men film is here. It's violent, it's extremely hardcore and there is amongst the violence some awesome action.



I'm not sure I believe this will be the last X-Men movie I see in my lifetime as this is already a critical and box office smash. Opening weekend and it's already the talk of the movie town. King Kong, or Skull Island has a massive task ahead of itself this weekend and opening weekend.

Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart both look like this should be their last superhero outing and frankly after years of Wolverine on the big screen I am just about done with this character.

So is Logan worth all the hype? Yes and No, and NO don't take your kids to this film, when I say it's violent I mean it is seriously graphic, heads flying off, Logan's claws killing anything in there sights and Laura/X-23 is extremely angry for a young lady.

Look it's tense, it's extreme, it's a serious look at people heading into America from the south and then looking to flee to safety in Canada. Sound familiar? Sound current?

It's also LOOOONNNNNNGGGG, in parts it seems to be going forever and ever and some plot points are examined for way too long, we get it, Logan is angry, X-23 is angry, it's an angry time and place in 2029.

But in all honesty this is a millions times better than the last and less than thrilling X-Men outing.

Logan is going to do HUGE business NO MATTER what critics, bloggers, reviewers say.

4 Stars for Jackman's final take on Wolverine.
