I went to see Logan with several friends today. It was an extremely well-constructed, plotty movie that could have had the entire X-men premise excised, and still been interesting -- it would have been about a middle-aged man dealing with his aging father who had progressive dementia and his newly discovered and traumatized daughter while his previously shady life embroiled him back in the criminal world.
But it was also an X-men movie, so it was even more interesting.
The one thing I really wanted and didn't get was some indication that there was someone in Canada waiting at the border to take those kids in. There's a fair number of Canadian mutants in comics canon, including several members of Alpha Flight, who are quite formidable when written by someone who actually likes the characters.
Otoh, it did earn its rating, for on-screen violence and gore. If you can't handle that, you're going to be squicked in the first 15 minutes.
