Extremely violent, but well done movie with some major plot holes

Rating: 7/10 (4 March 2017)

The X-men movie always leave you wanting for more, and Logan is no different. This movie is very methodical about removing any trace of comic book heroism and replaces it with gritty realism. What saves this movie is the acting for the main characters. What makes it terrible is the ridiculous violence.
Question: what was the last movie you saw with men in tactical gear with guns and no apparent order to anything? When was the last time you saw a movie with no gun violence? And why would a super power pharmaceutical company with limitless resources care about the Canadian border? Are they afraid of the Canadian Mounties of 2029?
When I watched this movie, I felt like I was watching any other movie these days. Senseless gun violence, people who exist outside normal society, and absolutely no moral values.
The comic X-23 story was too graphic even for a movie, but they did a good job with the actress they selected. That girl must have lived in a harness for months. The fights were done very well. But again, ridiculous violence.
Patrick Stewart was awesome, Stephen Merchant was awesome. Hugh Jackman was awesome.
It was all the anonymous bad guys that ruined it for me. Hundreds of men, all with big beards, robotic arms, tattoos, and full tactical gear who are all following these horrible people for what: money? Prestige? Just plain sociopaths? Were they raised like the X-23 program kids too? These characters appear in so many movies, and it is a disgrace to all of our special armed forces and men who are contracted for security around the world. They are not mindless sociopaths.
So the movie is about Wolverine dying from heavy metal poisoning, trying to let Professor X die without killing anyone with his mind seizures, and going on one last trip to save a mutant after all the other mutants are dead. Clearly the writer has watched old westerns too much. I did enjoy the Shane reference, but it was simply a modern version of a western, twisted by the values of Hollywood in the 21st century.
You are better off watching the actual westerns, which are better written, acted, and have almost no violence compared to Logan.
The best part of the movie is the end, when X-23 has actual emotions, something she was denied her whole,life, and that Logan was finally at peace, not having to kill anymore. I really hope this is the end of the X-men franchise. I used to love the TV show when I was a kid in the late 90's. The movies always leave you wanting for more and never deliver.
Final note: if you take a child to see this movie, make it a double feature with Fifty Shades Darker, or something with lots of nudity and sex in it. They will end up like X-23, with no compassion, morality, or respect.
