Review of Logan




“WOW, what a Perfect movie” is what I thought to myself as I wiped the tears from my eyes walking out of the cinema at 2 am. I have honestly never seen such an incredible fusion of action, drama, sci-fi madness and pure emotion in a movie. In my opinion, Logan is the greatest superhero movie ever and one of the greatest movies in years.

This film has everything going for it, let’s start with acting, Hugh Jackman’s performance is fantastic he manages to capture the pain of the ageing Logan while managing to portray the unbridled rage of the wolverine who is caring for the elderly professor Charles Xavier.

Sir Patrick Stewart’s performance is yet again outstanding, he is fully able to show the struggle of an old man who is now not only lost the use of his legs but is also now losing control of his whole body. Between the two you full feel the pain of two of the last living mutants.

Dafne Keen’s portrayal of Laura aka X-23 is truly flawless for such a young actress she masterfully acts the role of a withdrawn child while managing to show the pure animalistic rage that comes with the powers.

These three demonstrate the full range of emotion the rage, anger, sorrow, despair and joy and you feel each one you are fully immersed in the adventure, their journey becomes ours. While the drama and story is fully explored in this film it really doesn’t lack for action.

This is the first R-rated wolverine film and it really pays off the fighting style and the lethality of the wolverine is properly displayed and there is some really shocking and impressive fight scenes. For all the success of the MUC movies, I honestly feel they will struggle to match this. Logan is easily the best comic book movie I have ever seen easily standing as tall as Iron man, Spider-man 2 and Doctor Strange.


This film is the perfect send off to Hugh Jackman’s wolverine and Patrick Stewart’s Professor X, this is a film that should win awards and honestly should be considered the standard on how to make a superhero movie that has a heartfelt driven story that in the space of 1 minute can make your audience go OH! With the action and then cry with the emotion.

This is a solid 10/10

Mass Effect: Andromeda 18 Months on– A Good Game Trapped in a Great Shadow.

       We have all seen the reviews, we have all seen the memes and we have all seen the fallout. Mass Effect Andromeda (ME:A) the latest game in one of the greatest franchises in gaming history was utterly slaughtered by critics and fans Alike. Following the reputation of the original trilogy, a great set of trailers. People had their hopes up. People expecting a game on the level of the divine majesty of ME:2, or the very least the set up of ME:1, were disappointed with bad reviews and a buggy game. Now 18 months on after the patches and near collapse of Bioware I play ME:A for the first time to see if this game deserves the flack it got, to decide whether poor Management decisions, a bad game or high fan expectations is the reason we may never get a conclusion to this story or even another addition to the Mass effect title. Animation and Graphics. Now one of the first things I noticed, within the first few hours, was that the animations were somewhat lacking, the

Gender Equality: It goes both ways

Image
The question that gets asked too often are you a feminist? Er no I am not at least not currently Gender inequality the ever divisive and toxic area that must be encroached on, we have all by know heard the facts of inequality towards women. The lower pay, less likely to be hired into managerial positions or public office and the fact their careers are significantly hindered by having children. Not to mention the more social aspects like the sexualisation of women and the treatment of them in the criminal justice systems of the world. All these issues and the ones I haven’t mentioned are terrible and must be stopped with efforts from both genders. And this for me is where the issues for gender equality arise, you often see articles in the paper or speeches by influential peoples stating that it’s an issue for both genders yet make no attempt to real them in and make no mention of the inequalities toward men. The Guardian did an article which called inequality an unjust gulf b

Star trek Discovery: Pre-release opinion.

The first thing you should know is that I love star trek it is still my favourite franchise even after all these years and when I heard that a new show was in development I was ecstatic. Finally, I could enjoy a Trek TV show that had the great graphics of the JJverse movies that set was set in the prime timeline of the old TV shows instead of the Kelvin Timeline. First came the concept animation and at first I was a bit perplexed It looked like a cross between a federation and Klingon design and I first thought it could look like that since maybe if it was set in the late 24 th or early 25 th century it could be a collaboration between the two allied powers. But then I heard that it was confirmed that it was a prequel set 10 years before the original series (2255 in timeline) which disappointed me since one it was a prequel that killed the franchise last time and two since it really through the design into suspicion, like how can the ship look like it was designed
