Ranking all the Wolverine movies after Logan

Old man Logan won’t go gently into that good night.

This would be a Pick-it Movie for fans of X-men and then some, it more than makes up for some of the frivolous origin stories and stand alone wolverine movies we have been feed in the past.

Hugh Jackman bares his claws a final time as Wolverine in the new, darker, grittier X-Men movie Logan.

Logan has shredded the North American box office competition in its opening weekend (03-05Mar17). It earned $26.1 million, bringing its local total to $75.9 million.

The film adaptation of the religious novel The Shack had a moderate start, opening in third place with just $16 million.

The Lego Batman Movie and John Wick 2 round out the top five respectively.

There are still some comic book stereotypes and boring moments, but overall this movie flourishes as a drama.

“Logan” is a rendezvous with the ageing protagonist of the league of X-Men, who is in the twilight of his no gun nonsense, “bare-knuckle” fighting days. His erstwhile superhuman regeneration skills have deteriorated because of adamantium poisoning. That’s a powerful reflection of our own mortality. “And so, yes, to one day be on stage with this man would be a dream”. Between the two movies, its clear that the marketplace is ready for R-rated superhero movies when they’re done well and effectively marketed. However, this last one is a drastic change stylistically and thematically.

Jackman would go on to play the iconic mutant in nine films, including three solo adventures across 17 years.

“I think that is one thing I shall have on my CV in the future – a Knight of the Realm and also the distinction of being carried in the arms of Hugh Jackman all around the Deep South of the United States”.

Logan director James Mangold has already revealed that he’d been keen to develop a spin off centred around Keen’s character Laura20th Century FoxWill we see Laura (aka X-23) again? In IMAX, and at $20.6M, this is the 2nd-biggest R-rated global debut behind Fox’s similarly-R-rated Deadpool.
