LOGAN - Movie Review 

In Hugh Jackman's time we've had: 3 Spider-Man's 3 Hulks 2 Supermans 2 Batmans 2 Fantastic Fours 2 Daredevils 2 Quicksilvers But ONE Wolverine

After seeing Logan, a part of me just wants to inject Redbull in my veins and run through the woods.

I don't really agree about the whole villain thing. *SPOILER WARNING ⚠️ * The Wolverine X-24 that looked like Past Wolverine at first felt like a stupid excuse for a villain. However, I quickly enjoyed the villain much more when I realized that the whole movie Logan was torn apart by his past and his demons. Because of the things he did he even considered suicide. So his main villain in his head was himself and he was actually physically fighting himself. I liked the symbolism of Logan fighting his demons and that his enemy in his head was his actual physical enemy.

No john. As much as I want to see that suit. Doesn't work in Logan.

No I don't agree with you John ,this movie does not need wolverine in his yellow costume.

The Logan movie is better than Deadpool movie.. imo😊

Fuck! I can't tell which is better Logan or The Dark Knight.

Logan was an amazing movie

You say the final forest fight felt like noises everywhere! It was amazing!!! Had the best action, the most heartfelt moment in the x men franchise and had amazing bezerker rages from Logan! The movie is better than the Dark Knight in my opinion.

It was very sad but also very bad ass.

i don't agree with you John, i'm so glad Jackman didn't listen to all the fans asking him to wear the suit because it would have looked ridiculous. maybe it'll make sense when the rights eventually go back to Marvel.

I loved Logan! The action was gnarly, intense but most importantly grounded. This made those heartfelt moments between characters were earned which would've been different if the action was over the top and full of cgi crap.

John deserves a million subs! He's the first reviewer i come to after a movie

(SPOILER ALERT) I'm assuming you're referencing the Wolverine clone when you're saying you wanted something else? I disagree with you completely. It was an amazing parallel to Logan's inner struggle and felt like The Wolverine side versus the Logan side. Epic character study, epic fight scenes, and a great narrative decision in my opinion. Just my thoughts :)

Quick question: 'Logan' is supposedly set years after the happy ending showed in 'Days of Future Past'. However, by Wolverine and Professor X referencing the Statue of Liberty incident (X-1) and Wolverine having the Japanese sword from 'The Wolverine', does that mean events from the original trilogy did happen?? Thoughts??

This movie is badass and I loved it. Are you going to do a Spoilers Review? I would love to hear your in depth talk about certain scenes. Also SPOILER 🚨 ALERT. I actually loved the scenes with X-24 especially at the farm house. Seeing a Younger vs older Logan beating the shit out of each other was great. Keep up the reviews John!! P.S: Do that spoilers Review. A film that gets an A deserves it!!

Great Review. Weird how you say its not perfect and has flaws but still give it an A lol (which is basically perfect) It's interesting how the movie just kind of ends after that intense battle. I was like wow they are just going to end it I guess. I didn't dislike that I just expected more scenes for some reason.

I saw this movie with my family last night and me and my sister were both in tears by the end, I was almost as sad as she was. We both have been watching and loving this series since we were children all the way back in 2000. I have never been more sad watching a comic book film and it was more intense and emotional than anything that has come out of the DCEU or the MCU, hell any dc or marvel film for that matter.This is truly the end of the original x-men series and as me and my sister both sat there and the credits rolled and the Johnny cash music started that realization hit us both and it was amazing that we got to experience this journey.I love this series and it ended on a phenomenal note.

17 years of wolverine 10 years of me truly watching movies and only 3 times I have cried but only once I have cried with deep intentions and deep emotions....that was in logan

SPOILERS Bruh when Laura turned the cross into an X on his grave... that hit me straight in the feels.

I don't think I've ever seen John give a movie an A plus ever

Great video John this movie was absolutely awesome and your review of it is by far the best one I've seen.

I'm not ashamed that I choked up and cried 3 times during the movie. I never fully cried in a cinema before so it was really awkward. especially at the end omg

i actually really liked the score, especially that scene in the woods. maybe it was the speakers in the imax theater, but those eerie, almost scary sounds while he's running through the woods made me feel the tension and suspense. it was one of my favorite moments in the movie.

The thing about the yellow suit is, for me, I want to see it to, but the movie explains it really well and the premise is really self-explanatory. It's a darker world. The X-Men stories are in the past. Logan wants to forget that part of his life. He even changed his name back to his original one; James Howlett. heck, he even changed his hair and his beard. That's why he's so triggered when he gets called ''Wolverine''. I would've love to see the yellow suit but I can understand. It makes the movie better.

John your wolverine shirt looks like two Batman's staring at each other

I definitely agree about the letdown of the music in the 3rd act. I noticed while watching that the music was a bit disjointed and didn't mesh well what was happening on screen

"A comic book movie that doesn't feel like a comic book movie." That's definitely a hard feet to do.

My favorite R rated comic book movie is definitely Howard The Duck. No fucking question there.

I got so much adrenalin when the swat guys were going to the limo to get Charles and Logan sprints at them with his claws and screaming

I thought the killing of the old couple in Origins was horrible, but in Logan they topped it 10 times over. I wanted to walk out after that family being killed.

I freaking loved it. Great review, Flick pick. Btw why didn't you watch "Autopsy of Jane Doe" and "Girl with all the gifts"? They're amazing films and not many people watched them for some reason. You should review them and I promise that you'll have a great time. Greetings from Croatia!! 😃

One thing I'll say about the final battle and villian in general, is that It gave a feeling of lost hope because you knew how relentless and brutal it was because it was who it was and if they had used a well known villian , the well known villian would've gave a long monologue that gives room for opportunity, which takes some level of threat away

I think there is some copyright issues with the yellow suit. That being said, no, the yellow suit just will make it cartoonish and he would look like those costume freaks who perform on the sidewalk for tourist.

Its quite funny to see a lot of the fans split up about the yellow spandex. I personally think the yellow suit would've worked with the xmen team as a whole back in the first few movies. This film is just way too dark for an old Wolverine to be prancing around in spandex and I wouldn't have been able to take Wolverine so seriously as I did in Logan. Spandex or not, I honestly thought this was Hughs best work as the character and a FANTASTIC send off 10/10.

Yea its a shame, for 17 years of seeing "wolverine" on the big screen to think that they've never given us his actual costume while spider man have been running round with he's costume since the early 2000's and cos-players be wearing it all day. it's just a shame and no excuse at this point yeah I agree with ya 100%

Yellow suit would've killed this movie.

It would have been perfect if the mutant little kids had a wolverine type suit in their shelter hanging on a wall. But all worn and battle damaged. and Logan sees it. And he asks "where they got that suit" and the kids say to him. "You used to wear that suit to save the world. You were the wolverine" and Logan says "im not that guy anymore" then they say "but you're an xman, we need an x man again" and then it would have been perfect if he put on the suit just for x23 to show that he can be a hero for her one last time. And then x23 looks at the comic book and then looks at Logan and he has the suit on. That would have been amazing. It would have been so emotional if he put on he suit just for her.

the ending was so heartfelt and satisfying

Great review John! Also I was browsing the comments just to see some others people's opinions on the film which I'm normally very timid to do because of spoilers but there was very little and what little there was they put a spoiler warning which I appreciate. You're all quite dapper and awesome :)

I had the worst cinematic experience ever watching this movie , people walking in 10 mins late , a couple getting up and walking in and out at least five times , people asking then passing popcorn between rows. I look forward to watching this again in the comfort of my own home

That yellow suit would have looked ridiculous in this film...just no.

The best Wolverine film. Action packed and if you did not cry at the end - well then you have no soul.

Thanks for the awesome review John.Going to see Logan today i am so excited !!! :)

Great video John!

Thumbs up for 'Silver Samurai turning into a decepticon' haha!

Logan verged into the territory of greatness. True, legit, cinematic greatness. It's up there, right next to Nolan's Batman trilogy. I knew it'd be really good going into it. But I'd almost say it was triumphant. If Jackman got a nod for best actor, via the globes, or oscars, i wouldn't be mad.

yellow tshirt in the begging looks like two batmnas looking at each other

for an X-Men movie I would love to see wolverine in some version of his iconic costume. However, for this movie it would seem out of place and I am more than happy with his look as it is in the movie. I think wolverine in his classic costume for Deadpool 2 would be more fitting and awesome to see

I absolutely loved Marco Beltrami's score to 'Logan'. Amazon g seeing the film was inspired not only visually by the old spaghetti western films, but also musically.

I hope Fox realizes that these rated R movies aren't as risky as they thought they were, and have the potential to be more successful than their half assed X Men movies as of late...Saw Logan last night and i laughed, wept, and cheered, amazing movie.

One of the best movies I've seen in a long time, up there with the Dark Knight. The heart, sombre tone, tension, western feel, vulnerability, grittiness, loyalty to source material, cinematography, actor performances (best Wolvie depiction) and unadulterated action and emotion in this movie is off the charts. Major recognition to James Mangold, beautifully directed film. Reminded me of The Last of Us.

Personally I think this was the best comic book movie made so far and actually edged it over the Christopher Nolan batman series. This to me was a stand alone movie and has no relation to any of the others what so ever which is why I loved it. I did not expect it to be this good.

Look man, i have to get this out of my system: If i focus on your face, "FLICK" looks like another word... LOL

I agree but, Batman Begins had one the best scores in years. Expecting that on every movie is kind of unrealistic.

Not just the best rated R comic book movie of all time, the best comic movie of all time, period.

I truly believe the only way we can get Hugh Jackman in a Wolverine suit is IF Hugh Jackman agrees to be in the Deadpool franchise. (at least as a supporting character or as a cameo) It is so over the top, and it can be used as a comedic effect if taken "seriously".

This movie is no way based off the old man logan books. They just took the concept and western theme. The stories have 0 similarities

Dude I remembered everything good in Xman apocalypse to the point I forgot about fail pool and then you reminded me about him! I hope you are proud!

Dude awesome intro!!

It has a realistic touch into it and that is why they didnt consider the yellow spandex. The characters feels so real. You can actually connect to what they feel siding the fact that they are fictitous mutants.

the way mutants were rare was almost like days of future past all over again.

Prior to X-Men 1, Wolverine's healing factor wasn't so immediate. If you watch Fox's X-Men cartoon, in season 1 he had to stay in the infirmary while he healed after a fight. I prefer his healing not being so quick. It makes the danger more real. I completely agree that the Yellow Suit should have been used. Another awesome vid! I actually think that Omega Red could have been the villain in this film. Pulling off the Russian aspect may have been difficult, but it would have been more memorable and a reason to wear the (armor) suit.

I love how Batman and Robin poster rolling

I really liked the score, it popped and was nuanced. And during the final scene I thought how perfect it was to make Wolverine the final villain.

you wanna play a drinking game? take a shot everytime he says the word movie. you'll be on the floor in a minute.

8:09 yes this is me exactly, Logan was amazing, I don't know why but for some reason, the most shocking or dark moments in movies are sometimes my favorite. SPOILER BELOW I thought the part where X-24 first appears was riveting. My jaw pretty much hit the floor, but it was awesome to see there was a badass villain coming along. And as he was killing everyone, the mad scientist described him as 'pure rage' or something like that, and that's just badass and terrifying at the same time. To me, it felt like a horror movie for a sec inside of a gritty, realistic, drama / action movie about one of my favorite characters.

When I was watching it I was hoping that X24 would have worn the yellow-brown (yellow-blue or perhaps the grey x-force) spandex armour and then pulled his mask off to reveal it was a clone of him. I feel that would have been much better, especially given how Laura looks to Wolverine based on the comics that she had. Also, I was shocked that they ended it the way they did, I was thinking they would have added a post-credits scene showing X24 healing from the Adamantium bullet but forgetting everything, sort of leaving it open for a Jackman return in the future as a one-off. Also, I can't lie, I was hoping for Daken, even if it was just a mid-credits scene.

Wolverine technically did have his yellow and blue suit in the future scenes of days of future past. Didn’t do anything in it, but he wore a version of the classic attire

Dope new intro!

Also John when Logan fights weapon X-23 later in the movie, it is a symbol of his final fight with himself- and his past. How did you miss that?

I so loved this movie but I wish liev schreiber had a big cameo or take the clone spot. Wolverine origins film brother theme was in my opinion was its saving grace. I wouldn't mind a few X-Men cameos like I'm sure Nightcrawler could survived the massacre by teleporting away or how cool would it had been that Magick died by Charles and Colossus takes the Hulk's place as he hunts them down for her death. Tie in Deadpool possible and Cable to undo the event by getting Cyclops to blast Charles perhaps in one of the upcoming films

My favorite rated R movie is now..... LOGAN. Great acting, action, makeup, and visual effects. Really hope Hugh Jackman gets nominated for this. He tends to get the nods whenever he rescues a little girl. 'LES MISERABLES" anyone?

If wolverine was ever going to finally get in his yellow costume, the PERFECT place for him to do it is in DEADPOOL 2

Logan was so good. The action, the story, the gore, everything was spot on. I think it's a little better than the Dark Knight.

hey flick pick awesome review and quick question r u excited to seeing kong skull island ?

In my opinion, Logan was the best superhero film since The Dark Knight.

It feels almost like a Coen film for me. Excellant characters, great dialogue, beautiful visuals, graphic and deglamourised violence.

I've enjoyed the look Hugh Jackmans Wolverine has had throughout the years, but I just wanna see Hugh in the yellow suit just once even if its a throw away scene where he at least tries it on. The Wolverine extra scene where he SEES the suit was such a kick in the balls

Just saw Logan, definitely best film in the X Men Universe, yes better than Deadpool, and IMO the best film about a comic book character ever, I think this is better than the Dark Knight.

You read my mind John, I would make him use his yellow costume for once as an armor to protect his body, Yeah that would be awesome to see Hugh with the yellow custome

My only gripe with this movie is the footage the nurse shot. When did she have time to edit it, and also do voice overs on it?

Saw the film today, and it was amazing. This is how I would interpret wolverine(other than healing factor but he's old so I understand) but god this was a fantastic film

I agree there John - room for improvement. I put this equal with Origins and feel that it would have been nice to see Sabertooth and Lady Death Strike revist their roles in this film. I'd say B - I gave it a "Shaka Thumbs Up," but feel its matinee at best and got none of this "Oscar" buzz feeling. My fav super hero movie would have to be Spider-Man 2 (Doc Ock was great) with Winter Soldier a close 2nd! :D

that shirt is two batmen staring at each other

John, I kinda agreed with you about the musical score. The third act musical score is a bit blunt to the point that I never noticed that it was already the third act. To be honest, I just happen to notice it when Logan actually shoots the scientist that tries to control the little mutants and/or the creator of X-24. It is actually very nice to see the unique set of the third act. it's kinda well-executed, the score just really failed to match or capture the increasing "pressure" point of the scene, and to touch the spirit of the viewer well enough for them to reach the point where they are in the edge of their seats like "HOLY SHIT, GUYS! BRACE YOURSELVES! WERE IN THE CLIMAX" kind of feeling. Do you feel me, John?

This movie better win an oscar. Either best picture or best actor maybe. At least something!

Honestly, I think this may be the best made "Comic Book" film since the likes of The Dark Knight. I loved it.

I was almost crying during the last scene

Im with you John, on the suit. Would have loved for him to done the classic look at least once, even for a gag or deleted scene. Maybe if Hugg Jackman ever plays Wolverine in the Avengers Universe....

I think the costumes would have ruined the vibe of the film and besides he is old, it would have looked strange. Just waiting for this director to do an R-rated transformers movie.

V for Vendetta is my favorite R rated comic book film

Did anyone else think Hugh looks somewhat like Mel Gibson with the beard in this movie.

John...you are very entertaining... you give a brotherly feeling to me.... keep it up

I wish the kids at the end of the movie were able to display their powers a bit more. I think they could've created a really cool action sequence out of it.

John they could add the suit in the part were they cut his hair. putting the suit there instead or the hair cut

has anyone realised that in every finale of the 3 wolverine movies, Hugh jackman is always wearing a white t shirt? coincidence?

I think this was the perfect movie to put in the yellow costume given the x-men comics were 'real' in this universe. Thought it would've been great if, when Logan was kicking arse at the end after taking the green juice, you saw him through the eyes of the children, who see him in the yellow outfit tearing shit up just like they read about. Think that would've been a nice way to introduce the costume without having him actually wear it.

I wanna see this remade as a pure western, just with the kids replaced with slaves, cause in Logan they're basically an allegory for slaves.

Even as someone who is not an X-Men fan - or even a superhero fan (apart from Batman), I found myself really drawn in by Logan. What I particularly enjoyed was how it felt like the complete opposite of a regular superhero movie and more of a western. Some might argue that Deadpool did this, and whilst it did try, it ultimately followed same formula of the films it was trying to mock. This didn't. Whilst this film is of course centred around the mutants, the story does feel a lot more grounded and human and thus, for me anyway, emotionally engaging. There were some nice moments of poignancy and some really fantastic action, but also some great moments of levity. It's direction and choreography was fantastic and it didn't hold back with the violence and language, taking full advantage of its 15 rating. A film like this could not be told as a 12A picture so I am glad Hugh Jackman and the production team were able to realise the film's full potential. Fortunately it did not feel gratuitous in any way, which I had been worried about. Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart both give fantastic final performances as Logan and Charles, respectively, and Dafnee Keen is outstanding as Laura. She has a great career ahead of her! Was also a nice surprise to see Richard E. Grant take such a prominent role. I do have some reservations. I felt that X24 was out of place in this story and wasn't needed, and also with a run time at 2hrs 21 minutes, it did feel very long. But that's more of a personal gripe, as it did feel like the right amount of time to tell this story. Despite those two grievances, I found the film to be thoroughly enjoyable, and probably my favourite instalment in the X-Men franchise.
