Patrick Stewart, as usual, is fantastic, as well as Stephen Merchant, who whilst having little screen time, shines as Caliban. Hugh Jackman gives his best prerformances and perhaps one of the best performances in the last 10 years of cinema as a tired, weary and depressed Logan. It shows the consequences of Wolverine using his powers, whether for good or not. The action sequances are brutal, but very well done, and the violence is not just there for the sake of it, but has a meaning to it. The story doesn't try to be pretensious, and is very simple, which works in the film's favour. The dynamics between Logan, Laura and Charles are always gripping and very well done. Though Logan is full of exciting and thrilling moments, it never fails as a touching and compelling drama. Not just a great superhero movie, but an excellent film in general. This is up there with The Dark Knight as one of the best movies of all time. A simple story working in favor for the film, brutal action sequences that make perfect sense, touching and compelling moments to put a drama aspect in there, and perfect dynamics between everybody. Just because it's a movie about superheroes does not mean it will be good (Batman V Superman anyone? ). I'm not even giving it that rating because it's a superhero movie.
The direction is perfect, the score is good, it has some truly glorious character moments throughout, and let's just say that the character of Laura is awesome. This film has some of the most riveting action sequences I have ever seen in a superhero film.
Patrick Stewart was brilliant as Charles Xavier, surpassing every single performance he gave in the previous instalments, and I also liked Richard E. He absolutely floored me in this film, his performance was so unchained, so phenomenal that I thought that This film had a very Western look and feel to it, which I thought was a pretty great idea since it added to the feeling of solitude that the film developed.
I've always been a massive fan of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine - I think his was one of the best superhero casting choices possible for Marvel, and the same goes for Patrick Stewart as Professor X.
