Rating: 8/10 (11 March 2017)

This movie is the best comic book movie ever. A lot of people are saying that, but I can't. This movie can't be compared to those other comic book movies. This was a standalone, a far different type or concept from its predecessors. It was basically an independent art-house film that was character and story driven. Not a big budget blockbuster that focuses more on special effects and an end of world story.
Logan story was very well done. You can see that the film makers paid a lot of attention in getting and crafting the right story for the concept there were trying to portray. The story may slow down at times but it doesn't drag along. With a run time of just over two hours the slow parts are necessary to the build up to the final act. My only problem with the story is that it feels like a part is missing pertaining to how Logan, Charles and Caliban got to the point that there at the beginning of the movie.
The performances by all the main actors are great, especially Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart. Theirs's are Oscar worthy performances and should be real contenders for next year's award season. Dafne Keen, X-23 stole the show in almost every scene she was in. The only problem I had with her is that she wasn't given much dialog to work with. She only started to speak at the very end but only a few lines which were in Spanish. I wanted to see a back and forth between herself and Logan.
The villain's performances were lackluster at best. No real time was spent trying to flush out their story and to really explain their rationale. Zander Rice and Donald Pierce characters both suffered from this.
The R rating was use very well. The use of expletives, violence and blood were done well and didn't felt force. It served the story. But there is one point of needless violence that the movie could've done without. This was the massacre of the Munson family. Will alone could have met the fate he did and his family should have survived. The ending was sad, demoralizing and hopeless. Some people are complaining of this but I have no problem with it. This ending in most part was predictable from the trailers and more importantly the whole movie, which was from the beginning pointing or building up to this end which is a true send off to a great character.
It's not a perfect movie and has some problems which I pointed out above. But notwithstanding that it is a very well done and entertaining film.
