This is hard. This is a movie that I enjoyed, but also was very sad. This is a hard movie to talk about. I'm no where near watching every X Men movie, but I know how big Hugh Jackman was as this role of Wolverine. I've maybe seen one or two with him in it, but this hit hard because I know that he won't be returning in one of his most iconic roles. I think that this movie you need some time to sit and think about it before you can really dive deep and give your thoughts. I will try to anyways.
Logan is awesome. Pardon my language, but he is a badass in this movie even though he is slowly dying throughout the movie. He struggles so much and so often and goes through so much stuff, but he just keeps fighting and getting back up because he cares so much about Charles and Laura. He doesn't want them to die so he won't go down until he knows they're safe. The beginning scene where he goes all out on the guys trying to jack the limo is awesome and the end scene in the forest when he gets juiced up and goes out until he's killed is so awesome to watch. This however doesn't compare to a certain scene for me. For some reason in my head I think that the best thing Logan does in the movie is when he picks Charles up out of his wheelchair and carries him into the spare bedroom. This ties back into giving everything for Charles and Laura, but I find it Logan's most powerful moment in the film. All the action scenes in this movie were cool. I think besides the beginning limo scene and the end forest scene, my favorite action was when Xavier had the massive seizure and Logan kills a bunch of guys while they are stood still because of Charles' mind. The R rating is very deserved in this film. There is a lot of gore and violence, but it makes sense in this film to me. Poor Xavier. I watched a video on Logan and it pointed out something I didn't notice, but it made me like Xavier even more. At the beginning of the film when Logan first gives Charles the medicine, Charles says that he knows it is Logan, but it is hard to recognize him. Then when you realize that the Wolverine clone that killed him didn't get noticed was because Xavier knew it was Logan, but didn't realize is was the clone. I think that Charles Xavier deserved a better send off, but Logan does bring it back. Speaking of... Logan's death was hard to get through. I mentioned it before but this time he didn't have Xavier to care for, so now he cares for Laura because he finally came to terms that she was his daughter. This makes him to everything he can till the very end. Another call back is when Xavier tells Logan to take a moment and take it all in because they were in a house with a family that there was love. Logan didn't take Charles seriously, but after his clone was defeated he finally got his moment to take everything in and he says "so this is what this is like." This made me almost tear up. I feel like there is so much more I could talk about in this movie, but I can't think of anything. Logan is a great comic book movie and an all around great movie. 9/10.
