Comparing Logan And The X Man

Logan, the final chapter in Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine. This movie was released to mostly positive reviews from critics, fans, and general audiences alike. Many were saying this was the best movie in the X Men franchise yet. Some went even further to say Logan was one of the best superhero movies ever. After 17 years of seeing Wolverine in numerous X Men movies and 2 other Wolverine movies, they finally got it right. As good as Logan is, it still has its critics. Logan isn’t the typical superhero movie affair. It is one of the few superhero movies with the rated R rating and it uses this to full effect; it doesn’t have copious amounts of CGI, nor is it family oriented, and it lacks the large scale, eye candy action that audiences has grown
Some people were particularly disturbed by the use of children in the scene where they are being hunted down in the forest. Those people were turned off by the violent, dark, gritty tone of the film. They disliked the adult language and the more mature nature of the film. Many said they felt emotionally exhausted by the film’s somber tone and lack of the optimism. Some felt the rated R rating was used to ineffectively. The movie had plenty of F bombs, violence, and some nudity, but they felt as though it never added any extra meaning or weight to the film. Stephanie Zacharek from Times Entertainment said “The violence in Logan is grisly and overbearing, just in case you’d otherwise failed to get the memo on its tone of unforgiving gloom”. Some felt as though the characters were misused. It’s no spoiler to anyone that this will be Jackman’s last appearance as Wolverine. He, along with others will die in this movie, those people felt that their deaths had little meaning. Many who disliked the film would agree with Stephanie that it is a emotionally draining and hard film to watch, but those who don’t mind the violence and enjoy a more mature film that breaks the superhero mold may end up finding an enjoyable
