The public's interest in the film "Logan" was riveted long before the release of the picture. The advertising campaign positioned the project as the last chapter in Hugh Jackman's seemingly endless Wolverine story. And the finale was supposed to be a harsh project, where the old man-Logan had to show off his charisma, his bestiality, his power for the last time. I had to. But I couldn't.

The events take place in the near future, where the bright and comic world of X-Men has been replaced by faded colors and desolation. Wolverine attracts a miserable existence, somehow makes ends meet, and looks after an old friend and mentor Charles Xavier, who has turned into an infirm old man.

The very concept of the work plunges the viewer into apathy and despondency from the very start. And if at first it seems that this is the setting of the picture, the need for a plot for the subsequent disclosure of the characters, then by the middle of the work you realize that the pallor of colors and actions on the screen is complemented by a vague plot and a frankly meager script.

Yes, Logan has aged. Yes, it is wildly difficult for him in this harsh and unfriendly world of the future for a man. He suffers from the past, is not looking for a better life, just exists without any evolution. The young heroine X-23 who appeared in the old man's life changes little for the better, frankly trying to simply show a young version of Wolverine and a replacement for the beloved hero. The result is not impressive, and initially cold to the girl, Wolverine almost turns into her father during the film. The message is clear, and many places after the film I heard and saw exactly "Father", but in the film I did not feel it at all.

The film has an adult rating, it was declared as a mature movie with philosophical overtones and a desire to analyze Logan's life and its finale, the point where the beloved hero turned out to be after decades and even centuries of his existence. But it is not possible to philosophize how "Logan" should be. All attempts look faded and superficial. It seems that you are watching an author's low-budget project that does not give answers to questions and is not remembered in any way.

There must be a lot of cruelty in the picture. Yes. She is present. But was it worth focusing on this in the advertising campaign? And in general, was there any sense in such a decision, especially considering that there will be children in the film. It is quite possible that the usual rating would work, although it is unlikely that a young audience would be imbued with the presented plot.

What is the result? In my opinion, the project came out frankly weak. There is little action in the picture, it is quite monotonous. The plot is devoid of any background, there was a seemingly unexpected turn of events, where Logan met a worthy opponent, but it absolutely did not impress. The drama I was hoping for also didn't turn out. It all looked as if the old grandfather remembers the past days, does not want anything in life, and they dump it all out to us under the sauce of apathy and sadness. For some reason, I have a comparison with the third part of Nolan about Batman, where the hero also seemed to be in a difficult moral situation, but that farewell looked much more dramatic. And I don't compare the budgets of the paintings and the production as a whole. It is clear that Nolan's "Dark Knight" is generally much larger. But there was drama there, but not in Logan.

I didn't like the movie. The acting of Jackman and Stewart is good, but everything else does not count towards the picture.

4 out of 10.
