The ending of "Logan"... works in a bold and poignant way, providing the kind of closure that any story could be proud of.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Nov 8, 2019

Logan is a melancholic paen to the Western with enough blood and gore to redefine what a comic book movie can and should be.

| Nov 20, 2017

The superhero movie is a major American genre, and one that is malleable for the silly and the profound. And Logan is the most profound one yet.

| Sep 11, 2017

Logan ventures to all the places superhero movies have tended not to go.

| Aug 10, 2017

Make no mistake, Logan earns its tears. If Jackman and Stewart are serious about this being their mutual X-Men swan song, they could not have crafted a more heartfelt valedictory.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 9, 2017

Jackman and Stewart are why Logan works-why the film doesn't feel like a cheap exercise in bloody violence, and its subversion of typical superhero-movie tropes feels organic.

| Mar 8, 2017

Another expensive throwaway aimed at milking money out of people who still read comic books. Color it stupid.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 8, 2017

Strips away the spandex, the posse and the chaos, distilling the story down to the essence of the man, Logan. What's left is the agony and the ecstasy of mutanthood.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 6, 2017

Tightly plotted and ruthlessly bloodthirsty, this is an impressive return to form for the X-Men franchise.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 5, 2017

Jackman gives Logan a withering rage that seems heartfelt, not hammy; Stewart is touching in his enraged befuddlement; and Keen, who resembles here what Katie Holmes might look like if she were Carrie, has a feral intensity.

| Original Score: B- | Mar 3, 2017

Whenever the filmmakers have a choice between cruelly slaughtering characters and letting them live, they almost always choose the cruel path.

| Original Score: C | Mar 3, 2017

[Director] Mangold drags [Wolverine] - much older, if not much wiser - into a Western, and ends up with the best superhero movie in recent memory.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 3, 2017

Logan does go defiantly against the grain by favouring melancholic mood and themes of mortality and deterioration over inflated, end-of-the-world stakes or grandiose action pyrotechnics.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 3, 2017

This isn't just a great comic book movie, isn't just a superb X-Men adventure, it's a fantastic motion picture, period, and Mangold, Jackman and everyone else involved with its creation should be more than proud of what it is they've accomplished.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 3, 2017

Fans of Marvel, X-Men, and the Wolverine character should be pleased with Logan-it's a strong finale and arguably the best in this highly uneven spin-off series.

| Mar 3, 2017

Jackman is, once more, superb, holding down the whole film: no matter how battered, gnarled and shrubby he looks, you always root for him. A bit of a beast - but our beast.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 3, 2017

Logan is a fine example of the superhero film where fantasy is tame and reality is wild.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 3, 2017

Credit where it's due: this is a grown-up movie that's a drama first and superhero story second. Maybe you shouldn't give points for effort, but maybe you should when you're talking about a subset of films as locked-in to their formulas as these.

| Mar 3, 2017

Jackman twists the pain at the centre of the hero's struggle into remarkably uncomfortable places for a blockbuster.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 3, 2017

Jackman's performance is Clint Eastwood-esque, and the lines in Jackman's face tell the story of his worn character; he plays Wolverine as a man at the end of his line, adding at least a decade to his 48 years.

| Original Score: B | Mar 3, 2017
