Heartfelt story and a clear vision

Rating: 8/10 (11 March 2017)

Pros: -Clear vision for the film, with a defined aesthetic and characterisations. None of that mess that so marked Apocalypse and Origins: Wolverine as "mediocre" and "a flaming train wreck" respectively -More mutant-ness than I had anticipated. -Superb acting from Dafne; mostly expressing herself through subtle emotional facial expressions. Really wouldn't expect that much from a child actress but she's superb. -Genuine emotional weight.
Cons: -Reavers were on a scale from underwhelming to utterly useless. -Some action scenes were a bit too shaky-cam for my tastes.
Afterthought: Whoever tells you this has a lot in common with Old Man Logan has either never read it (maybe they looked at the pictures?) or not seen this film. Old Man Logan is a slightly camp romp across the US to kill some inbred Hulk children with a wisecracking Hawkeye driving Spiderman's old "Spider-Car"; this is a weighty, serious, very adult, emotional story crafted around some well acted characters against a back drop of decay and despair. They aren't remotely similar in tone, and anyone that says otherwise is talking out their rears.
