Review the Latest Movie of 'Logan'

Difficult is going to be to tell you my impressions of this new film delivery mutant and super heroic  without explaining too much, but we will achieve. Suffice to say two things: it is a very good movie and it is not for all audiences. Now, let's see why I say this so bluntly.

'Logan' is situated in the year 2029. The mutants have disappeared - A withdrawn and dejected Logan spends his days drinking endless, hiding on a remote part of the Mexican border, earning himself some change as a rental driver. But Logan's attempts to hide from the world and his legacy come to an abrupt end  when a mysterious woman appears with an urgent request: that Logan guides an extremely young and very extraordinary girl to a safe place. As we can see from the synopsis and the trailer, we are faced with a history of losers and, therefore, of redemption and sacrifice, in which we will see our hero in the latter, without strength and, more importantly, without hope, Fleeing again from a painful and bloody past.

Precisely this last one, afdah presents  film of the bigmouth mercenary, which has opened the eyes of the Fox executives, making them see that there is an avid audience of  superheroic adult cinema, prepared for a hard, dramatic story, where humor is So minimal that it is limited to three small winks almost in the background: comic book appearances and Wolverine dolls.

Of course, 'Logan' also drinks from the aforementioned first X-Men movie, especially where Bryan Singer offered us superheroes recognizable by all comic book fans and, more importantly, with a more adult view  of The one that habituated us the previous adaptations "comiqueras".

Obviously, if Fox focuses exclusively on this type of cinema, he is also making a mistake, but for now let's enjoy this more serious cinema. If we remove the claws and the few powers (splendidly recreated, by the way), we have a magnificent story where some old friends, with a great load behind them, receive a point of hope in the form of a girl  at the That they have to protect and take to a safe place, mission that will remind them who they were and why they fought in better times.

The story is also swritten by director James Mangold, director of works as disparate as the dignified 'Kate & Leopold' (2001), the hard 'Inocencia interrupted' (1999), the magnificent western 'The train of 3:10' (2007) or the failed, but interesting, earlier rendition of our Logan, 'Immortal Wolverine' (2013). It is a solid script, without fail and without traps, that begins "in media res" and that almost does not resort to the flashback, leaving that the spectator is discovering, little by little, the tragedy happened a year before and for which both Logan and Xavier live hidden. Mangold does a good job of directing this story, proving that the little flashes of good work we saw in 'Lobezno: immortal' had nothing to do with the lousy script that made him swallow, and that we could enjoy in the excellent sequence of the train.

James, Logan, has long since ceased to be Wolverine, partly because of his own choice (for all the deaths of his past), but also because physically he is not who he was, much less. He is a strong person, but not the insurmountable "tough guy" we know. Now he can be hurt, not just outside. His body is being poisoned by something inside him and Mangold uses this as a simile  of what happens to his spirit: the real damage comes from himself.

And finally, Hugh Jackman does not surprise us with his good performance; Has already given many examples of the good actor that is and, what concerns us, the respect he has learned to take this character  to whom he owes so much. It is the old Logan that we hope to see  (although the story has almost nothing to do with the comic of the same title  tired, distressed, with the weight of a whole world behind and, when necessary, taking the beast out of its interior.

Finally, the music of Marco Beltrami  is simply circumstantial: it supports the scene in a correct way, emphasizing the hardness of the story but without memorable or outstanding themes, accompanying the images that, instead, enjoy a magnificent photograph of John Mathieson  , As it deserves this twilight western. afdah movies shows story in brief, a very good work that will enjoy  all those who go with an open mind but that will disappoint  all those who are not informed that they expect a movie "pajamas" simply action.
