Logan

An action flick for adults that works with characters and emotions as though it was an epic drama, Logan is set in realistic locations overflowing with atmosphere, with action scenes worthy of James Cameron and the most effective, ultra-dark music Marco Beltrami has ever made (though not suitable to be listened to on its own) plus one soundtrack hit from Tarantino’s Django Unchained. It’s only once in a few years that I give five stars to a movie based on a comic book. (03/01/2017)

I'm utterly destroyed and searching in vain for the right words. Gritty, brutal, suspenseful, action-packed, incredibly cool, with an awesome Western twist... That all sounds pretty lame compared to the movie. In short, it's an absolutely spectacular experience that should not be missed by anyone who enjoys watching movies. Whether you're into comic book movies or not. Of course, you'll enjoy it a bit better if you're in the know, but it can be seen on its own as well. Hats off to Jackman, he did some really incredible stuff. This is what I mean by "giving it your all". The music is perfect too. And that girl, Laura... Dear God! (03/03/2017)

I can't resist any part of the mutant universe, including Wolverine's solo movies or the much-derided X-Men: Apocalypse, and even where I'm on the fence about a given film (X-Men: The Last Stand), I can still enjoy it over and over. And yet now, half a day after seeing this film, I cannot imagine that stories from this world will continue to be told. Logan, in a hundred and one ways, serves as the final chapter, the most human and believable one. It is a bloody, uncompromising, and depressing chapter, but precisely because of that, the clear message of the entire X-Men saga resonates much louder than I dared expect. Remembering almost any scene tightens my heart and I nostalgically immerse myself in the times when seventeen years ago, as a teenager unfamiliar with comics, I went to the local cinema for something called X-Men and in an empty cinema first discovered what adamantium is. Hugh Jackman made it happen, and has done so now more responsibly than ever. Except that back then, it was for the first time; this time it's definitely the last. (03/04/2017)

What they promised us, that's what we got. Logan is more than a dignified farewell for Hugh Jackman and his most famous role, and finally a film that fans have been calling for for years. The rough action scenes, without much emphasis on nice choreography, and where extreme physicality and animal fierceness prevail, are very cool, but it is more of a drama than an action film. And a damn good one at that. The people behind this film understood that the announced "maturity" is not achieved through headshots and severed legs, but through characters and their behavior. Logan has never been this broken and interesting, and what happens to Professor Xavier is something you won't find it amusing at all, and the young Dafne Keen is an acting discovery on par with Haley Joel Osment. Add to that the excellent music, the western atmosphere, and the extremely intense finale, and you get one of the most interesting comic book movies ever made, which deserves to stand alongside The Dark Knight. A few years ago, we wouldn't even dare to hope for a film like this. (05/15/2017)

There are many movies to give audience a chance to understand the character of Wolverine. In general, we all know what Hugh Jackman’s intentions were. Still he was one of the first superheroes to appear in Hollywood in the late 1990s and deserves tremendous respect for it. However, after all these years with Wolverine, I understand very well why the creators wanted to end Wolverine's movie journey. Once and for all. Until this day, I haven’t fully comprehended the films’ right order. True, I never really tried to find out but the movies didn’t make it easy for me either. Fortunately, the premise is very clear in this movie and it is not difficult. Quite the opposite. Hugh Jackman said his goodbyes with style, of course, so you can expect to see a great action ride with a main hero who in this film convinced me why I should never forget him. Thank you, Wolverine, and good bye! (12/18/2017)
