Not only is she the rarest of rare - a young mutant - but she has been genetically engineered using Logan’s DNA. That’s when Laura (Dafne Keen) enters his life. The job suits Logan, who wants no part in interacting with humans and whose legacy of death and violence weighs heavily on his conscience. Charles has no future and, to prevent him from harming others with his occasional mental meltdowns, he is kept in confinement. Along with Caliban, he is watching over the terminally ill 90-something Charles Xavier, who even at his most lucid isn’t the man he once was.
LOGAN THE MOVIE REVIEWS FOR KIDS MOVIE
The movie introduces us to Logan the caregiver. Grant), a cock-sure henchman (Boyd Holbrook), and a next-gen killer (Jackman) - but the true villain is one that no one, not even the great men of this piece, can overcome: mortality, the robber of virility and strength, the crippler of all. There are traditional bad guys in Logan - a mad scientist type (Richard E. The story is less interested in canon and continuity than establishing a framework for a tale about love, guilt, responsibility, and redemption. Although Logan is technically the conclusion of the so-called “Wolverine Trilogy” and is the ninth film focused on X-Men characters, this is designed as a stand-alone. The screenplay, credited to Scott Frank & James Mangold and Michael Green doesn’t provide much background. Except for Professor X, Wolverine, and the bald-headed tracker Caliban (Stephen Merchant), there may be none left. No new mutants have been born in 25 years and the existing ones have been hunted to extinction. It’s 2029 and Mutant-kind has been all-but-eradicated. Logan’s strength is diminished and his healing powers are waning.
He is afflicted with some form of degenerative brain disease which has sapped his powers and made him prone to violent psychic seizures. Logan changes this up with a simple premise: What happens to superheroes when they get old? In this final Wolverine movie, Professor X is in his nineties. That’s why Superman circa 2017 is about the same age as Superman circa 1950. If an actor gets too old to play a role, the part is recast. For superheroes, however, there are no “golden years.” Reboots and remakes are common. We see their strength diminish as the years pass. Everyone reading this who saw X-Men theatrically in 2000 has undergone a major life shift during the intervening years. Barring a change of heart by one or both actors, this will be the last time we’ll see this Charles Xavier and this Wolverine. Now, 17 years later, Stewart and Jackman are back, playing the characters they have repeatedly returned to over the course of this century. Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman were both on hand when Bryan Singer’s 2000 feature X-Men blew open the doors to modern motion picture superhero movies, allowing Marvel to challenge DC’s previous dominance.
On the surface, Logan is a superhero movie featuring the return of two of movie-dom’s most beloved and venerable mutants.
