Logan

This character-driven superhero story still knows how to bring the action. Where Logan succeeds--and other recent superhero movies fail––is its knowledge of and devotion to its characters, particularly Logan, Professor X, and Laura. It also doesn't try to make the story one where the FATE OF THE WORLD will be decided. That intimacy works well here, as does the focus on only a few characters, rather than an ensemble piece that lacks a center. It's visually dynamic and emotionally resonant.
