Quite Good! Very Entertaining.

Rating: 8/10 (23 March 2017)

Let me start off by first pointing out (or admitting?) that I am not a big fan of so called "comic book movies" at all. I always seem to be the man in the theater who has no idea what the in jokes are that the "real fans" are laughing at, or who the characters are, or what their back story is, or even anything about the "universe" the story is taking place in.
So I judge all the movies having known nothing going into them. What I liked about the X-Men series of films is that it didn't get too deeply into another universe and explained things (rather simply) so that someone like me could get up to speed. I've seen (I think) the entire film series to date and have enjoyed all but one of those films.
Logan is perhaps the best of them though. As a stand alone movie it's very good and I think anyone who has not seen the earlier films may be a little lost at first but it's easy to follow and to get into the characters and world. The action is great and I like that, unlike the other films, it goes a little darker.
The effects are masterful and as always I'm a big fan of Hugh Jackman. Patrick Stewart is also very good, as usual.
I'd recommend this film for anyone. It's not the best film ever but if you're a fan of big action but also like a good story to go along with it, you can't do much better than Logan.
