Celebrating X-Men Films And Beyond

LOGAN premieres to amazing reviews as critics say it’s easily Hugh Jackman’s best Wolverine film.

LOGAN held its world premiere at the 67th Berlinale film festival in Berlin with director James Mangold, producers and stars Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart and Dafne Keen, among others. The film opened to amazing reviews, currently sitting at 97% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes with 59 reviews.

Many are calling this the Wolverine movie we deserve and Hugh Jackman wanted it no other way. While speaking with the New York Times, Jackman reinstated that he was very serious about making a great film because “There’s been a gnawing turmoil that I hadn’t really nailed it, fully — either story or performance or whatever. Every film I’ve ever done, I’ve had that gnawing doubt. But I have it way less in this one.”

Jackman wasn’t going to make just any film, as he had strict needs that needed to be met before deciding the film the finale.

“I was a pain in the ass for a lot of people with this movie because it mattered so much to me,” he told Fandango. “Even when we started writing this, and even when I asked James Mangold to come on board, I said ‘Dude, I don’t know if I’m gonna make it.’ Unless it’s exactly what I want, I prefer to not do it. I couldn’t live with it. So this is it.”
