9.8/10
Directed by James Mangold and starring Hugh Jackman, Logan is easily the best film to come out of the X-Men universe. It is violent, it is emotional, and it has a damn good story.
The movie is about an aged Logan/Wolverine (Jackman) who has to take care of a failing Charles Xavier (Sir Patrick Stewart), when a mysterious new mutant (Dafne Keen) shows up and all hell breaks loose. From there, Logan has to avoid an organization named Transigen, led by Dr. Zander Rice (Richard E. Grant) and Donald Pierce (Boyd Holbrook), while protecting Professor X and getting the new mutant across the country to the Canadian Border.
From the start, the movie shows that it will not hold it's R-rating back, with the first word said in the movie being an F-bomb, followed immediately by a very R-rated action scene, with a guy's arm getting dismembered and several more ending up with claws in their heads. However, the language is always where it feels like it should be, such as whenever the characters have stress or pain, and the violence does not feel overexcessive, with only five major action scenes throughout the entire film.
Through the insane violence though, Logan has a very deep and emotional story, especially with the fans who watched the first X-Men film back in 2000. They get to see these characters get pushed to their limits for the first time, with Logan progressively losing his healing factor throughout the movie and Xavier in very bad health. At the end of it, both characters have very touching sendoffs, closing their 17 year reign as the iconic characters.
The characters were also very interesting and well-played. Hugh Jackman obviously kicks ass playing his most iconic role, sadly for the last time, as a beaten Wolverine with a vulnerability we've never seen before. Patrick Stewart also brings a different side to Charles, where his age is finally catching up to him. The final noteworthy actor is Dafne Keen, who plays Laura in her breakout role, making her one of the most badass characters in the franchise.
Overall, the movie was really well done, deserving its R-rating and praise for being one of the best superhero films of all time
