Logan Gothic

For me, Logan is one of the best "superhero" movies ever made, but it had a few flaws, especially in the last act of the movie which felt made to please the action-seeking viewers and contrasted greatly with the generally more paused tone of the movie. In this regard, the official noir version of the movie improved the tone and made the movie even grittier, providing a better experience (even when leaving the whole movie uncut).

Dannydangle's Logan Gothic continues to perfect the movie by improving the general atmosphere with a complete reworked soundtrack that perfectly fits the atmosphere of the movie, giving it more depth and making it more enjoyable. Furthermore, the trimmed parts are really well chosen, to the point that this time, together with the music, I didn't notice the off-putting last act (even if only 4 minutes were cut).

Audio/Video Quality - 10
I am no expert in this matter, but the quality was really good. Nothing to complain.

Visual Editing - 10
Kept to a minimum, but perfectly chosen and totally unnoticeable. It definitely improves the movie.

Audio Editing - 9
Overall the music is really well chosen, but sometimes there were pieces of music that felt a bit off in my opinion. This happens very few times and for most of the time the selection of new tracks is perfect.

Narrative - 10
The few cuts and the new score contribute to create the perfect atmosphere to the movie and giving some scenes more "feeling" that without any doubt contributes to the narrative.

Enjoyment - 10
I really enjoy re-watching the movie and the clever choice of music tracks. I definitely recommend it.


Thank you for letting me seing your fan edit!

I'm finally able to have a look at a Logan fan edit :)

I am already a fan of Logan and The Wolverine. But Logan has a more personal, intimate feeling. The movie does not have 2 much in the face CGI and it feels like a grim cross between a gothic western and a dystopian “Mad Max”-esque road movie.

Each billow of dust emboldened by Logan Noir amplifies the suffocating environment and the desert looks white and as it is void of color and life. Not mention the sporadic darkly contrasted plants scattered sparingly across the landscape.

What does Logan Gothic bring then? Well, it amplifies the absence of life and gives the movie a very personal and desperate feeling. The music has been re-scored to the very best. I am not an American folklore expert or do I live in the US. But changing the whole soundtrack with folk and Johnny Cash brings the movie closer to the original trailer and Johnny Cash Hurt song. What I also like is the removal of certain narrative elements, bringing it to better pacing and understanding.

Amazing work dannydangle and well deserved March favorite edit of the month win. Looking forward to your next project.

A terrific attempt at making an already outstanding film even more dark and melancholic in tone with phenomenal rescoring and clever editing throughout. A great piece of work from start to finish.

I had the pleasure of reviewing this edit for the Academy/IFDB.

An outstanding edit. Honestly one of the best I've seen. The rescoring is excellent, and I'm a sucker for Johnny Cash. I didn't have any problems with this movie initially, but after reading the cutlist I think the removal of Laura's dialogue and exposition was a good choice.

I recommend for everyone to check out this edit, and look forward to seeing what dannydangle will create in the future!
