The best X-Men movie ever

Rating: 9/10 (3 July 2017)

After 17 years of trying, "Logan" is arguably the best ever X-Men movie.
It strips back the fantasy elements and focuses on three main characters: Logan (Hugh Jackman), Professor X (Patrick Stewart) and Laura (Dafne Keen), a young mutant girl with claws like Logan. British actor Stephen Merchant plays the albino Caliban, a long way from his days on "The Office" with Ricky Gervais.
"Logan" owes a huge debt to "Deadpool", which showed an R-rated comic book movie can be successful. While "Logan" is light on laughs, there's plenty of swearing and lots and lots of blood.
"Logan" feels more like a road trip/adventure movie than a superhero movie, a refreshing change after the epic and elaborate comic book films "Batman v Superman" and "Suicide Squad" bombed.
While this is the last time Hugh Jackman plays Wolverine/Logan (barring any surprise cameos in "Deadpool"), Logan will probably be rebooted by another actor in the near future, so let's savour Jackman's perfect farewell.
