# NO SPOILERS!
Overall: This movie is very similar to 'The Dark Knight' due to the fact that it to transcends the comic book movie genre and becomes a solid, character driven drama that features awesome comic book characters and amazing action. It's a brilliant drama as well as action movie and makes you care about the characters and feel emotion. All the cast was stellar and the action was, yet again, brilliant. It's a heartfelt and beautiful send off for Hugh Jackman's 17 year run as the character and a brilliant ushering in for the new generation of X-Men.
The type of people who will like this movie will be fans of drama, fans of action, fans of X-Men, fans of more emotional and dramatic comic book movies, like 'The Dark Knight' and fans of Wolverine.
Would Recommend.

Hugh Jackman was phenomenal as Logan and I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if he was nominated for an Oscar here because it was honestly brilliant. Patrick Stewart was magnificent as Charles Xavier and provided a much better and more heartfelt performance than McAvoy in 'X-Men: Apocalypse'. We all know that(hopefully) this will be the last time Jackman and Stewart reprise their roles as these characters and in honour of that, they made their friendship seem so genuine and emotional and doesn't seem forced at all which was amazing. Dafne Keen was excellent as X-23 and I can 100% see her being in future movies. Boyd Holbrook was great as Pierce and provided a fierce opposition to Logan. Dr Zander Rice was a really weak villain but that is my only real flaw in this film.
Beautiful and character driven story that neatly wraps up the Jackman saga and ushers in a new age of X-Men. The ending was flawless and pulled at my heart strings but I think that was because it had 17 years of emotional baggage backing it. Gritty and realistic setting which was really well done. It was kind of grounded in reality which is, yet again, similar to 'The Dark Knight' and made it more human and gave it more feeling.
The cinematography was excellent and some action segments were really well shot.
The effects used are passable but the minimal use of them makes it even better. Great costume and set design.
This movie was the perfect end to this era of the X-Men and while simultaneously closing this age, it ushers in a new one which looks very, very promising. It perfectly introduces X-23 so that everyone can understand her character and understand her emotion. The action scenes were phenomenal and making it a 15/R rating was such a welcome change and is very commendable.
The music was very good and, as previously stated, the change to 15/R didn't feel forced, felt genuine and greatly benefited the movie.
Personally, I adored this movie and it competes with 'The Dark Knight' and 'Captain America: Civil War' and 'The Avengers' to be my favourite Superhero movie.
10/10
