Finally

Rating: 10/10 (15 August 2019)

No punches pulled in this one. All the fat is trimmed from the regular, ensemble X-men, end of the world plots that bogged down previous entries in the franchise. The action is realistic and the characters behave like real people instead of just vehicles for superpowers. The choice to focus on just two of the previous mutants, Logan and Charles, catalyzes the chemistry between them. Above all it celebrates what makes these movies entertaining: they aren't blessed with powers, they're cursed with mutations.
