Dove Review

Here we have the origins of Logan, also known as “Wolverine”. He starts out with claws but by film’s end they are metal claws and much more powerful. A lot happens on the way there. When it appears that someone he loves has been purposely murdered, he vows revenge. An old farmer he meets in the story tells him he always has a choice whether or not to shed blood. By story’s end he must decide if he will kill in revenge or let his opponent live.

Although the story deals with some good topics such as making right choices, and loyalty, it also is filled with violence and strong language. We therefore cannot recommend this movie as a family-friendly film and we are unable to award our Dove Seal to the movie.
