Logan

Rating: 10/10 (24 May 2017)

Firstly, I don't think I'll be spoiling anything since this movie has been out for quite some time. Aside from the obvious, I will try and not delve too far into the movie that I may ruin it for those who have not seen it.
"Logan" picks up somewhere in the future with Logan caring for a very sick Professor X. However, Logan has also started to notice something about himself. He is not as unstoppable as he once was, he tires rather quickly now, and his wounds are not healing the way they used to. He is also very sick, but doesn't know why--just yet.
In trying to move Professor X to a safer location from all the goons who are after him, he is approached by a woman who tells him she and her daughter need to be taken to a place in North Dakota called "Eden." This is some sort of safe-haven from all peoples trying to kill them. The daughter's name is Laura. During one of many fight scenes, Logan witnesses the sheer brutality of Laura who kills at will and seems to enjoy it. After a perilous journey for all concerned, Logan will eventually realize something he never knew.
I realized I was really going to enjoy this movie because the first word that came out of Logan's mouth was the f-bomb! And believe me, that is just one of MANY f-bombs. The violence factor has been way upped in this one, too. Flying limbs, holes blown through heads, decapitations, and death by wood debris are just a few of the new touches. No more of that PG-13 stuff to appease parents!
The performances are also top-of-the-line here--especially by Hugh Jackman, Dafne Keen (as Laura), and Patrick Stewart as Professor X. This is simply the best movie in a series that has been around quite a long time. I loved it and it left me with a big lump in my throat when it ended. Rated R for graphic violence, adult language, and very brief nudity.
