Logan

Hugh Jackman plays Wolverine, the role that made him famous, one last time after 17 years and nine movies in Logan. Logan is a very deep look into a world where there are barely any mutants left in the world, Professor Xavier is unable to fully control his powers due to neurological problem, and Logan's healing factor barely working and dying due to his adamantium skeleton poisoning him. Wanting to initially live in peace, Wolverine and Xavier must help a young girl, actually a female clone of Logan, escape from a group that wants to use her and other child mutants as weapons. Seeing as this would be Jackman's last time as Logan and the last film with Wolverine for a long while, it's only fitting that the film had to be rated R. It's a very visceral film that feels less like a typical superhero film but more something akin to a drama about a dying man wanting to do something meaningful in his life. The performances that both Jackman and Patrick Stewart, as Xavier, give out are just as award worthy as any other Oscar nominated performance. This film is both fun and emotional, especially in how it ends when compared to many superhero films that have been made recently. One of the best things about this film is newcomer Dafne Keen's performance as Laura, the young clone of Logan known as X-23, who brings a depth of vulnerability and rage one does not usually expect from such a young girl. Even if it doesn't, Logan is so different and so emotional that it should be considered for numerous Oscar nominations. Over all: 100%
