In case you haven't already seen the amazing
Logan, here are our top 5 reasons why you should go out and see the film ASAP!
Wolverine Unleashed!
Wolverine will no longer be held back by the PG-13 rating. Up to this point we really haven’t seen the ruthless Logan from the comics; however, X-Men First Class touched on the Logan we’ll see when he told Xavier and Magneto to F off. You can fully expect to see body parts flying left and right due to Logan and X-23’s adamantium claws. We were only able to see a glimpse of this in the red band trailers leading up to the film, but we are all dying to see more!
Hugh Jackman’s and Patrick Stewarts Last Hurrah
Both Jackman and Stewart have both said that this would be the last time that they suit up as Wolverine and Professor X. It’s crazy to think that we were first introduced to their characters 17 years ago. There is no doubt there have been highs and lows in films featuring these icons, but they’ve certainly gone out on a high note according to critics.
Set up for future movies
Rumors have been flying about how Logan possibly sets up the future of the franchise going forward. We will have to wait and see the movie to know exactly what direction the franchise will go, but we do know that you can fully expect X-23 to be a part of it. Director James Mangold has also firmly stated that the film is set in 2029, five years after the events of Days of Future Past, so that the plot wouldn’t interfere with the X-Men timeline.
New Mutants?
Yes, we get to see Wolverine and Professor X, but there is also a host of new mutants that are introduced in the movie. We will, of course, see X-23, but there's also Caliban, and according to IMDB’s cast list, we will also see other “unnamed” mutants. Will these children of the atom be a part of the franchises future?
Critic Reviews
The reviews are not always indicative of whether a film is good or not, but critical Logan's reaction certainly bodes well for movie-goers, as it currently sits at a whopping 93% on rotten tomatoes. This certainly feels like the Wolverine movie that we’ve all been waiting for.
About Logan:
In the near future, a weary Logan cares for an ailing Professor X in a hide out on the Mexican border. But Logan's attempts to hide from the world and his legacy are up-ended when a young mutant arrives, being pursued by dark forces.
