REEL DEAL: Logan REVIEW


Prepare you tissues as Logan might be the most bittersweet film in the X-men movie franchise. And I really mean it as it has been so many years and films that were made including solo movies and spin offs.

Logan would like to make sure that the last solo wolverine movie will be explosive as well as critically accalaimed.

With the success of Deadpool in the box office despite the R rating, shows that there is gold in not holding back on theme to makes fans and critics amused. Having an R rated wolverine is actually more accurate and faithful to its source material.

Based on "Old Man Logan" which shows hims in his twilight years, powered down, and completely different from the past X-men films. Logan offers the struggle and conflict that the Wolverine face as the his biggest challenge yet.
