100 Greatest Comic Book Movies Of All Time

3. Logan

There's something to really admire about a movie that is both deeply traumatic and eminently enjoyable, because who doesn't want to be faced with the conflict of being legitimately hurt by a movie but then also wanting to watch it again?

For a while, it looked like we'd never get an R-Rated Wolverine movie, but thankfully Deadpool came along and changed the lay of the land to such a degree that Fox saw the light. The light they saw proved to be sort of Old Man Logan shaped with a healthy slice of new story elements from director James Mangold.

Released of his leash, Mangold made an incredible Western movie starring comic book characters, which didn't stick particularly closely to the source material, but which is easily the best story in the X-Men movie world. It's visciously violent, incredibly brutal and really, really f*cking devastating at several points.

This should have been the last comic book movie ever released, given the way the story winds, but let's all just be thankful we didn't have to wait to see it. And that Hugh Jackman - who is phenomenal as a last gunslinger-style Logan - was still around to make it.

If you can watch it more than once, it gets better, but it's questionable whether anyone should really do that to themselves.
