While Marvel’s output all has the same blindingly bright color palette, and quick action edits, Logan feels as though it has been chewed up and spat out by James Mangold, before then being passed on to Hugh Jackman to do the same.
While it’s admittedly a little downbeat, it’s a point-of-view that we’re just not used to seeing with the genre, which makes it so interesting.
Logan is distinctively, and cinematically dirty.
It gets between your fingernails like no other comic-book movie ever has, which bleeds into James Mangold showing us how fallible Wolverine has become and how alone he is in this world.
