    This is a rock solid character-driven comic book movie, the best in recent years. Hugh Jackman gets under the skin of Logan and he's so good, it's almost a shame he's giving up the part just as he's hitting it out of the park. But it's a fitting send off, and rest assured you will choke up.

    Hugh Jackman bids goodbye to X-Men universe and his role as Wolverine with Logan, which perfectly wraps up his film journey.

    Logan is a relentless and thrilling film, a film that takes things farther than you may imagine...

    This is easily one of the best superheroes movie ever made and is already creating a strong buzz with its premiere. Even if you hate Hugh Jackman or the character of Wolverine, you won't find any reason to dislike this movie. Although if you are not a big fan of action or if you are easily grossed out by blood and fighting on the screen then this movie is not for you. A new generation of very limited X-Men mutants is also introduced in this movie creating some seriously interesting theories about which you should figure out more in the cinema.

    Hugh Jackman's final Wolverine film changes the face of superhero movies forever. It's the farewell the most iconic X-Men character deserved.

    Logan humanizes the  super-hero to a level of supreme surrender . We have never seen a comicbook hero who is so vulnerable and so challenged by a 9-year old girl who is played by a child who has the ability to project herself as much older than she actually is, without seeming precocious. We've never seen a hero so ready for the fall.We probably never will.

    Watch it, for sure. It offers hope for the X-Men franchise yet. The future, despite the bleak one painted by this one, is one you're not going to forget in a hurry. A superhero film that entertains and makes you think? Rare breed, I'd say.

    If you've grown up watching the X-Men movies then Logan is a story that just cannot be missed. The film does have a generous amount of gore and splatter. But the whole blood soaked approach is what makes this movie such a dark and fascinating experience.

    You don't have to be a comic superhero fan to enjoy this movie — watch it for the outstanding performances by Jackman, Stewart and Keen. This one's a gripping finale to Wolverine's indomitable journey.

    While the thematic content and the philosophies may not be consistent throughout, the intent and execution to provide a richer deeper experience is obvious. This is a wonderfully rendered goodbye to an awe-inspiring generation of mutant superheroes who kept our cravings for justice and righteousness alive and well. My guess is we won't have to wait long before the young lot (featured here) move to centre stage and prove themselves cinematically worthy. It's a given!

    Logan is an emotionally satisfying film which bids a gracious adieu to the superhero.
  13. Deccan Chronicle

    Film review ·

    There are a few digressions in the film that, though dispensable, seem to exist to dwell on the quasi-familial setup.
  14. NDTV

    Film review ·

    It's a movie for those who, in the 17 years since the first X-Men film arrived, have grown up, and are ready for a stiff, un-watered-down drink

    Film review ·

    Logan is simple proof of just how much good an R-rating can do for a film. Because haven't we all dreamt of how great it would be to watch Wolverine REALLY use his claws? In James Mangold's Logan, Hugh Jackman's much older Wolverine, who despite saying he's left behind the world of violence, leaves a body count higher than all of his previous movies combined. He also swears a lot, has an alcohol problem, and is consumed by rage and bitterness.
