Good movie - dragged down by politics

Rating: 6/10 (18 July 2017)

I thought this movie did actually pretty well up to a certain point. One can relate to Logan and why he wants to stay away from other people. The R rating was also a good choice for the movie so it was possible to actually go all out with the action and gore during the fights. And let's be honest here. If you are hit by Wolverines claws you would bleed a lot and lose quite a few body parts.
His "daughter" did also quite well as a character and her being partially hispanic made sense to me after they said they picked up random girls of the street.
It fell apart for me when I saw the rest of the kids that have been used, because I quickly noticed one thing.
1. We had Asian boys and girls 2. Black boys and girls 3. white girls
Where was the average white boy? It looked to me they wanted to play the diversity game which means that they put as many minorities into the kids cast as possible (also opening plausible reasoning for later films with these new heroes) and therefore completely removing the average white cis male.
I don't like when people push identity politics into movies and I will call it out accordingly. For me this will also affect movie scores. If it wasn't about the kids cast I would've gone with an 8 or 9. To bad.
