Good/Bad

Rating: 8/10 (3 March 2017)

I saw "Logan", starring Hugh Jackman-Eddie the Eagle, Swordfish; Patrick Stewart-Blunt Talk_tv, Robin Hood:Men in Tights; Boyd Holbrook-Morgan, Gone Girl and Dafne Keen-This is her first movie but she was in a Spanish/BBC TV series called The Refugees.
This is one of those good things/bad things. It's good because it's a really good movie-they got it right by going with an 'R' rating-and it's bad because this is Hugh's & Patrick's last times to play these characters-at least, that's what both actors have said in interviews. The movie takes place in the not too distant future where Hugh is older, has more aches & pains, even walks with a limp and his healing factor takes longer to work. Most mutants are either dead or have gone into hiding. Hugh himself is hiding out near El Paso, down close to the Mexican border. He and another mutant, Caliban, are taking care of Patrick, who is fighting dementia by taking pills-if he doesn't take them, he will lash out uncontrollably with paralyzing waves of mental energy that hits anyone in close proximity. Hugh has just about given up on everything. He just wants to buy a boat and live on the ocean. About then is when Dafne shows up, looking for help. A group of cyborg enhanced mercenaries called The Reavers are after her. Boyd is their leader, and all Dafne wants to do is get to North Dakota, a safe haven for mutants. If you are familiar with the comics, you probably know the connection between Hugh & Dafne, aka X-23. The fights are fantastic but be cautious of taking little kids. Heads & other body parts are dismembered by both Hugh and Dafne with ease and there is lots of language flying around-It is hilarious to here Patrick use the F-bomb. Oh yeah, make sure you are not late to the theater. There is not a scene at the end of the movie but there is one at the very beginning. It involves another super hero, basically plugging his own up-coming movie- no date is mentioned, it just says coming soon. It's rated "R" for strong brutal violence, language and some brief nudity and has a running time of 2 hours & 17 minutes. I loved this one-I wish there would be more 'R' rated super hero movies- and I would buy it on Blu-Ray.
