Awesome Movie

Rating: 10/10 (4 March 2017)

When I left out of this movie, I hated the ending. Then when I was driving home, I was still thinking about the movie and it hit me that the entire movie was excellent including the end. If you take Jackson's Wolverine from the beginning in 2000's X-Men to all his movie until 2017's Logan, it's the warrior's journey from dawn to twilight and the ending was a perfect fit to this great warrior and a perfect sendoff to the phenomenal Hugh Jackson who did an excellent job in portraying Logan with so many dimensions. I can tell he had a blast playing Logan over the years, but like Logan coming to terms with his mortality and Jackson dealing his numerous cancer scares over the years, it was time put the claws back in once and for all. I loved this movie. It had a very strong cast. There were no weak links. The little girl who portrayed Laurie was amazing. Not only did she kick-butt as a little Wolverine herself in some brutal action scenes, but she was able to emote so many emotions without speaking and you cared and sympathized with her character. My favorite scene was when she was eating cereal so calmly watching the bad guys on camera arriving to kidnap her. This movie was also a wonderful sendoff to Sir Patrick Stewart. I watched on the Graham Norton as he announced seating next to Hugh Jackson that this would be his last X-Men movie. He said it was perfect sendoff to his character and he was absolutely correct. I loved this version of Stewart and his father-son relationship with Logan who are like a father-son who obviously loved one another but constantly bicker with one another. Professor X, as I will always call him whether he runs the X-Men school or not, was awesome and his instability with his powers led to some of the best scenes in the movie. I even liked the Albino who took control of his destiny. The movie was excellent. Great script, great villains, great cast, great action scene, great storytelling, and scenes that will rip out your heart and shock you. You care about ever character in the movie even the minor characters. But I really enjoyed this movie and even as another pass, I still am thinking about how great this movie is. It is a perfect sendoff to Logan and Xavier. And yes, it is bittersweet but it was the perfect ending to great characters.
