The 10 Best Moments From James Mangold’s Logan

Logan has been receiving a great deal of critical acclaim since those first press screenings, and while Deadpool may have failed to break into this year's Academy Awards, there are those who believe that James Mangold's movie stands a very real chance of doing so, and we'd have to agree with them.

1) The Death Of Wolverine

Logan Dead

Ask 100 different comic book fans how they would have liked to see Wolverine’s death play out on the big screen and chances are you’d get 100 different answers. For me, Mangold didn’t go down the best route by having X-24 tear into Logan before impaling him on a tree branch, but considering the fact he wanted to die and was severely outmatched, Wolverine going down fighting does make a lot of sense.

I do wish he’s been given a bigger hero moment rather than having X-23 be the one to stop the clone with the use of an Adamantium bullet, but his last few moments with Laura are undeniably powerful and this ultimately feels like a fitting enough farewell for the iconic character after seeing Jackman play him for the past seventeen years.

I’d be lying if I said I don’t hope his healing factor kicks in so he can claw his way out of that grave, though. However, for the time being, Logan brings this version of Wolverine’s story to a mostly very satisfying close.
