Hugh Jackman as Logan in Logan
So often, sequels are disappointing. Time and time again, sequels rely on already existing excitement for a feature and do little to develop it further, anticipating that a return to a much beloved world or a reuniting with the characters will be enough to keep audiences happy. For example, it felt unlikely that a giant shark would strike again in Jaws II, let alone a third time in Jaws The Return - that great white was truly looking quite long in the razor sharp tooth by that point.
Logan was truly bittersweet in nature, leaning into a found family story at times that truly tugs on the heart strings. Yet that is cut up by very violent scenes that truly illustrate what would occur in a fight between some bad guys and a guy with razor sharp knife-like claws. The brutality of these moments and the intensity maintained throughout the film does make it seem more like an action thriller than a traditional superhero movie.
Release Date December 20, 1974 Director Francis Ford Coppola Cast Al Pacino , Robert Duvall , Diane Keaton , Robert De Niro , Talia Shire , John Cazale , Lee Strasberg Runtime 202 7 'The Dark Knight' Directed by Christopher Nolan With 94% on Rotten Tomatoes, The Dark Knight is widely heralded as the best Batman movie ever made, and possibly even the best superhero movie of all time.
Empire Strikes Back inserted more trials and tribulations into the Skywalker saga, as he is coming to terms with his power as a Jedi and his importance to the Rebel Alliance. Furthermore, the character development of Solo and Leia alongside Luke adds an emotional depth that makes the audience care more about the characters.
Initially, Lucas had intended to make a sequel but instead made Temple of Doom a prequel as he did not want to make another movie with Nazi villains. As a result, the film provides a perfect character arc for the character of Indiana Jones. In Temple of Doom he is driven by greed, making dodgy deals with mob bosses and aiming for glory; a very different Indy to the one audiences were introduced to in Raiders who believed artifacts belong in museums.
