Logan: reviews

What the critics say average 7.4 from 10 outlets

• 8.8 USA TodayBrian Truitt Easily the best Wolverine outing, Logan is The Dark Knight of the mutant-filled X-franchise, a gripping film that transcends the comic-book genre by saying something important ? and for Logan, that means coming to grips with needing loved ones in his life. Read

• 6.7 Entertainment WeeklyChris Nashawaty The loner has to learn to put someone else first. It?s both as manipulative and hokey as that sounds, but occasionally it works well enough that you might find yourself getting choked up against your better judgment. Read
• 4.0 TimeStephanie Zacharek The picture is mostly tedious and unpleasant, which is a shame for the sake of the performers. Jackman works hard here, and his performance does away with vanity altogether. Read
