One of the better X-men movies out there but...

Rating: 7/10 (31 May 2018)

I stopped watching this movie about half way through. I had seen most of the Marvel movies out there and thought I knew what I was getting into with Logan.
My first half run through I was shocked by the level of gore and it just kept coming. I am not a big fan of gore but am ok watching it if it has it's place and doesn't make me gag. I just wasn't ready for the new version of Wolverine, face slicing death machine. Then there was the story line - I won't spoil anything but I found about half way through I was just overcome with kind of a sadness (because of some serious violence towards kids) and it was depressing so I turned the movie off, I wanted more of a fun good guys vs bad guys, explosions, sprinkle in a car chase, good guy wins - you know... every other Marvel movie out there.
After having some time to digest what I saw I went back to it more prepared than I was before. The fight scenes are amazing, the story line is fantastic. This is a stand alone superhero movie.
I would have rated it higher but ever since I became a dad I can't stand seeing violence against kids, even if it is pretend. There is a lot of violence towards kids and a lot of violence from kids in this movie and when I say kids, like 12-14 year olds.
