Logan

Reviews:
4 stars out of 5 -- "There’s more depth to this tale than the ones that have come before, but that doesn’t mean the hallmarks of Wolverine are missing. The action is particularly breath-taking, even more so than usual..." - 02/17/2017 Total Film

4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he heart of the movie is the unexpectedly poignant relationship between Xavier and Logan..." - 02/17/2017 The Guardian

"Each time the violence explodes, it’s slashingly satisfying, because it’s earned, and also because Mangold knows just how to stage it." - 02/17/2017 Variety

"Seamlessly melding Marvel mythology with Western mythology, James Mangold has crafted an affectingly stripped-down stand-alone feature, one that draws its strength from Hugh Jackman’s nuanced turn as a reluctant, all but dissipated hero." - 02/17/2017 Hollywood Reporter

"LOGAN is as brutal and bleak as any superhero movie in recent memory....But it’s also a comic-book adaptation that takes its characters and its themes seriously, that elevates the genre past spectacle and on to something resembling art, even poetry." -- Grade: A- - 02/28/2017 A.V. Club

3.5 stars out of 4 -- "LOGAN has stakes that feel real, and fight choreography that’s fluid and gorgeous instead of just computer-generated effects. Most importantly, LOGAN has characters with which you identify and about whom you care." - 03/03/2017 RogerEbert.com

"LOGAN is good enough that you might forget it’s a comic-book movie....It plays, looks and sounds like a movie -- an old-school meets new-school pulp filled with intimations of mortality, and raw, ugly violence." - 03/02/2017 New York Times

"LOGAN is as ambitious and aspirational as comic book movies get." - 03/02/2017 Los Angeles Times

"For all its moodiness and melancholy, LOGAN is also a rip-roaring action film -- and it’s wickedly funny at times as well." - 03/01/2017 Chicago Sun-Times

"[I]t’s a high-octane action flick with a protect-the-cub emotional subtext." - 02/17/2017 Entertainment Weekly

3.5 stars out of 4 -- "If Jackman and Stewart are serious about this being their mutual X-MEN swan song, they could not have crafted a more heartfelt valedictory." - 03/01/2017 Rolling Stone

4 stars out of 5 -- "Mangold keeps things grounded and intimate. For the first time, the tension between Logan's animalistic killer instinct and his struggle to just be a good, decent human being is explored in depth and at length." - 02/20/2017 Empire

"Jackman and Stewart’s fond, easy dynamic helps to balance some very provocative brutality, as the movie pushes Wolverine’s berserk nature to graphic new extremes." - 03/02/2017 Boston Globe

"[L]ess like a sequel to a long-running saga than something sui generis. It has, simultaneously, the exhilarating feel of a departure and the finality of a full stop." - 03/02/2017 Washington Post
