LOGAN BEST REVIEW

Yes its the save the best for the last Wolverine movie we have been waiting for so long.....but to me, its just the beginning...if Hollywood doesn't take this as a platform and launch Hugh Jackman to make some of the best Wolverine movies of all times, its going to make the worst mistake ever. A few days back a friend and me were having a discussion that how Hollywood has failed Wolverine, despite getting the best actor to don the Adamantium claws.

Hugh Jackman is Wolverine replete with panache and charisma but there is not one movie you can put a finger and say - Hey Bub - I will remember you for that!!!!

LOGAN CHANGES ALL THAT AND GIVES US AN EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME!!!

It is by far the best superhero movie ever. It is a fiercely topical well meshed satire; an awesome back from the dead superhero movie; a fierce fun ride; a jack in the box gut hit punch; its everything and anything one would desire and wish from Wolverine, which hadn't been delivered till now.....Alas!!! if only this formula had been used earlier we would have got a couple of Wolverine movies par excellence without Hugh Jackman being relegated to playing second fiddle to all the other X-Men.

When was the last time I screamed? I guess when Batman took out Joker in his Batpod and rebounded off a wall. Well in LOGAN - I clapped, screamed and wish I could have whistled. Its exhilarating dark dull yet cool entertainment. Its spiked with Nolan's irony but is not pretentious enough to denigrate the very soul of a hero - Hope everyone gets a hint - the way Christopher Nolan and David Goyer killed Man of Steel -That's not Superman or even Jonathan Kent - Read the comics and get an understanding of the characters and then write the scripts - Dumb Bums!!!

Here that's exactly what James Mangold does - he creates a dark bleak unforgiving world but preserves Wolverine in Logan - He keeps the spirit of the killing machine alive. And that's how you make movies on superheroes. Not make Superman kill Zod and then make Batman cry " MA MA - Mere bhai tumko mein nahi maroonga""

The direction is sharp...the editing is sharper.. the sound mixing is solid....and the performances are beyond excellence. Even the cameos of the Afro- American family sheltering Logan & Co - Simple tropes but executed with finesse and skill and some quirky shock element thrown in.

Even the three act cornerstone of the narrative is well structured - Its a derivative of Old Western thrown in a with a salt of Terminator juxtaposed with Peter Pan albeit the new genre of The Maze Runner plot-line.

Hugh Jackman finally makes us feel for him as Wolverine and X23 - the girl has a nervous energy, which is quite Carrie-like and scary, yet endearing. I loved the Ryan Gosling look-alike villain - He was good fun!!!!

The bonhomie and ribbing between Xavier and Logan is magical - I cannot go on without giving spoilers therefore I won't - Just watch it tomorrow - Its a little gutsy and gory and gun-ho buts definitely the best movie playing in town.

DON'T MISS IT.

I will stop short of calling it an Oscar worthy movie, because of one reason - any well meaning gamer would realize that Logan is a very cleverly camouflaged copy of "Last of Us" This is a movie we have all watched and played before when traversing a zombie infested wasteland with Joel and Elle in "Last Of Us"

The look of Logan is completely modeled on Joel right down from his beard and shirt and jeans..some of the best father-daughter moments are complete frame by frame rip offs from the game...essentially Logan has a lot to owe LAST OF US - And that's just a tad disconcerting, when Mangold mentions Shane as his inspiration but conveniently forgets Last Of Us from where he has lifted virtually the whole canvas of Logan.

APART from that LOGAN is the best thing to have happened to the Superhero genre... its strips the super out of the man and makes him a true hero - a mere mortal all flesh and bone behind all the Adamantium.

Claw your fingers in and catch LOGAN this weekend. This is the best Wolverine movie, one of the finest superhero movies I have ever watched and a great movie in its own right...yes some of the best scenes have been snipped from the greatest Playstation Game of all times but that's us - Gamers - a perceptive lot - we play games and WE KNOW THINGS!!!

So ignore us and enjoy this unabashed glorious grunge gore fest. This is Wolverine!!!! TAKE A BOW OLD MAN LOGAN!!!
JIO BOSS!!! Aar doya kore plzz bolona SRK can play Wolverine...paglaa kaabi ki tui jhaaajhe more jaaabi....Hugh - You still have some mileage left!!

X23 and you - we can still pull out two more stories from Logan!!! Don't make this the final chapter!! Don't go when you have given the best of Wolverine now!!!
