As Mike Wazowski put it or should I say exclaimed, "THAT THING IS A KILLING MACHINE!". There are lots of those in the farewell to X-Men wonders Charles Xavier (Professor X) and "Wolverine" AKA Logan. This film is a great final hoorah, however, it leaves viewers confused. I have no doubt I wasn't the only one leaving the theater scratching my head.
You should definitely not take your kids to see this. Why? The entire film depicts realistic bloody violence. So, no matter how much they beg you, just say no. On the other hand, for teens and older audiences the action sequences are some of the best in a film of this kind.
The action is one of the few things that keeps this film on its feet. But what I had a problem with was the story. It was good don't get me wrong, it just had some things missing that I expected answers to.
One of the best things about the film was the awesome action sequences involving young mutants. The best action of any superhero film within the decade.
James Mangold (The Wolverine) comes back along with Hugh Jackman to give it their all. What Mangold succeeds in with this film, is the fact that it was emotional, bloody violent and well, funny. But does the screenplay play out as effective as it should be? No. It leaves parts missing from the story and that was frustrating.
One last time. For almost twenty years, Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart have been an iconic duo. And even though this is their last rodeo, it's kind of a disappointment. But, don't take it from me, the superhero film freak, take it from the comic book nerd who will probably say otherwise.
