C'est LA viE

It was Bean's call for the movie, I am a big fan of the X-m3n series no doubt, but personally, i am not really into the wolverine series, and i never watch any of them.

The only thing i knew about Logan before watching it, was this movie marked the farewell of Hugh Jackman with this role of Wolverine. 

That's a bit sad, because he had participated in all the X-men movie series since the very begining and his play for the mutant with retractable bone claws in his hands.

I quite like this Australian actor, but i never watch his other movies beside the X-men series. After watching Logan, I only found out he was such a great actor who really can act!

It was a sad movie, we all knew what would happen in the end, but it was still very miserable to see how the superhero losing his healing ability and suffered from all the wound and pain.

Just like ordinary human, Logan is turning old mentally and physically. There was a poison in his body, he lose all his passion to define the new world.

He was tired of saving the weak, and scared to reveal how timid and how afraid he was. He gone mad when his only companion, Caliban was trying to point out the inside he was hiding.

All superhero movies started with an awaiting rescue, which somehow is always a dangerous one, and it was for sure an inevitable one for Logan.

Not sure if it was a rescue for the new mutant that new to the world after 15 years, Laura, or it was a rescue for the main charater, Logan himself.

I guess it was for both, Logan was once a strong, unbeatable superhero, but now he doesn't even know who he is. 

His life is surrounding with beers, medications that helps calm down Dr. X, and all the nights fetching different people in his rented LIMO, some were professionals, some were crazy punks, some were mad idiots, until one day he got to fetch the young mutant. 

Maybe there is no Eden, there is no heaven, but there is for the young child, Laura.

I wonder how she come through all these, getting thing she wants with the killing ability she has. She never experienced a normal childhood, her life was about escape from the dark forces and holding the hope that given by the kind nurses who sacrified their lifes for the kids.

Yes, after all, they are just kids. They are not killing machines, and how cruel was the smart scientist who inventing the poison in their naive body and mind.

Although there were no any X-men movies linking between Logan and the X-men: the last stand in 2006, but it did not really spoil the stories.

Both Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart had done a great job in playing the roles, their acting realitically telling the audience how a superhero actually also just human-like, they will have tears, pain, lost and aged. The super brain suffered from illness and aging too, and recalling the ambitious dream he holding in his old days, he was definitely feeling the loneliness and demanding for an ordinary life with family, with love ones, just a normal bed under the roof but not the abandoned hollow water tank.

However, what i like about Professor X, Charles, was his positve mind and he always, still keeping the hope, especially when he realized the new mutant, Laura is coming.

Unlike Logan, who is the reluctant one, just holding all the pain by his own, and live without a life, barely earning the penny for a sun seeker cruise. Something big, cruel, unpredicatable incident must had happened before 2029, from the movie we just briefly knew it was an attack of virus, and Charles. who suffered from seizure, had inadvertently killed some of his beloved x-men. 

I guess all these incidents made Logan to hide from the world, hide from the attack of nowhere, from the dark forces, and behind his coward-like hiding, was the love towards the great professor X, he just want to protect the only related one he has. 

I decided to stop the post here, because seems there were too many spoilers. 

Anyway, i personally think the movie is slightly too long, and i was a bit (just a little) inpatient in the middle of the movie, wondering when it would end and if there are more action scene coming. 

I was wrong to take the movie like other x-men film series, Logan is very unique superheroes movie, in fact, i would describe it with words - emotional, dark, sad.

It was not about the action, it was about life, about the trueself of the superheroes, their concern, their fear, their love, their thoughts. 

Thumbs up for Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, and the story teller, James Mangold, and all the crews, you guys had performed very well. and I enjoyed my night in the huge black box.
