Tonight on TV: The Best Wolverine Movie

Tonight on TV: The Best Wolverine Movie

Every day, AlloCiné recommends watching a movie (again) on TV. Tonight: Hugh Jackman hangs up his claws as Wolverine.

In 2017, James Mangold, writer of 2013’s Wolverine: The Fight of the Immortal, was asked to direct Logan, the final screen appearance of the Wolverine character, based on the comic book miniseries titled “.Old Logan“, created by Mark Millar and Steve McNiven.

Far from the spectacular galactic clashes that accompany the adventures of the Justice League or the Avengers, Logan It turns out to be an intimate family trip through the desert landscape. His hero, more vulnerable than ever, is perceived as a spiritual descendant of Western protagonists (Lawman Josie Wells, Man of the Lost Valleys, Cowboys, Wild Horde or even Ruthless). Hugh Jackman takes a fantastic bow in the title role.

At the same time dark, brutal (in the United States it actually gets an R rating) and moving, the film ends up a critical success (it is the first feature film adapted from a comic book to be nominated for an Oscar for best adapted screenplay) and commercially ($616 million worldwide, including 2 million landings in France).

According to the American national newspaper USA Today, it is “Simply the best Wolverine!” – as evidenced by its average viewership rating of 4.1 out of 5 on AlloCiné.
