Logan marks the last Hugh Jackman film as the popular X-Men character Wolverine. The film has a different tone to other X- Men movies and its film certificate. Due to the success of Deadpool, Logan was rated a 15 and boy did they stick to that. The film has more violence which suits the role of Wolverine very well. Also he swears quite a bit like his comic counterpart. The story is set 6 years after the events of days of future past were we see that Logan is one of the only mutants left in existence, he stumbles across a girl who is just like what he used to be so he, Professor X and the girl must find a save haven. once they do they see other mutants and take them to safety so the mutant generation can live on.
The cast like any X- Men movie is well built. Some performances to spot are Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, Patrick Stewart's Professor X and Stephen Merchant unrecognisable performance as Caliban. Newcomer Dafne Keen did a good job at playing X-23 or the New Wolverine as she is now in the comics. Director James Mangold has down a good job on his last two Wolverine films and hope to see him in future X- Men films. But Logan marks the end of the current X-Men franchise so I doubt I'll see him do another film like that again.
There isn't really any negatives I can say to this movie as it is not a usual X-Men type film, it is more of a drama just with comic characters. I guess one thing could be Wolverine's clone X-24 (spoilers) as they sought of went a bit too far with that idea. That I guess it the only negative I can come up. But all that aside I would give Logan a 10/10 as it is one of the best Wolverine/X- Men movies I have seen in quite a while.
