Movies By Cho: Logan
Now Showing: Logan
Starring: Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Dafne Keen, Stephen Merchant
Scene after the Credits: No
Would I see this again: Yes
Notable Previews: Alien: Covenent, The Fate of the Furious, Deadpool 2 (trailer was missing Stan Lee cameo; weird)
Bottom Line: Engrossing & emotional end to Jackman's run as the Wolverine
Wow. Hugh Jackman has said this is his last appearance as Wolverine, and damn, does he go out with a bang!
It's rare for me to declare a film as "must see", but this one suits that billing. If you're a fan of Hugh Jackman's Logan or Patrick Stewart's Professor X, then this is a must see movie.
If you ignore the main plot that drives the movie, the story is about two aging men facing their mortality. It's set in the year 2029, and Logan & Prof X are two old men at the end of their lifespans. Logan's mutant healing power is fading rapidly, and the Professor is suffering from dementia, which is never good, but for "the world's most powerful telepath" is a near disaster. Remember how in the X-Men movies he could "freeze" everyone in a room? Once released, they continued on as if nothing ever happened. Now, the Professor is susceptible to sudden seizures, which paralyze people in a huge radius, but it's imperfect; they are painfully aware that they can't move and are in agony. Thus, Logan is taking care of the Professor, with the help of Caliban, in an isolated part of Mexico near the Texas border.
It's a powerful look at these two men. The film starts off slow, as it establishes what kind of life these once great men now lead, but it picks up quickly after a nurse and her young charge enter their lives.
It's not the "feel-good movie" of the year, and you won't walk out cheering, but go see it!
