History Awesome / Logan

* Creator/PatrickStewart and Creator/DafneeKeen have scored Critics Choice Awards nominations for their performances and the film has gotten a Critics Choice nomination for Best Action. For comic book fans, film fans and fans of the movie, this is fantastic news.

* The mere fact that ''Logan'' was [[http://ew.com/movies/2017/09/15/logan-oscars-screener/ the first movie to be sent screeners]] to the Academy Awards, months before any of the OscarBait movies. Not only does it show how succesful the movie was commercially and critically, but it goes to show how much faith Fox has in the film that were willing to send it at all. If successful, it could be the first comic book film nominated for Best Picture, something even ''Film/TheDarkKnight'' couldn't achieve.

* Throughout the movie, Caliban is beaten and tortured by the Reavers, not to mention the verbal put-downs from both Logan and Xavier. When he has a chance to fight back, [[spoiler:he turns it into a DyingMomentOfAwesome by setting off two grenades--sacrificing himself to take out several Reavers and the van in which he was imprisoned. He even gets a PreMortemOneLiner that echoes a threat Pierce made to him earlier: "Beware of the light."]]

* The film is Certified Fresh on Website/RottenTomatoes, with an approval rating of 92% with critics. That rating tops the one for ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', making ''Logan'' the best-received film in the entire ''Film/XMenFilmSeries''.

* Logan defending Will Munson against a group of gun-wielding hicks is quick, but it is still damned satisfying.

* The "Puppet Master" deleted scene shows one of the X-23 kids has the ability to mentally manipulate people to follow his actions. When being chased by three Reavers, he controls the first one to turn around and shoot the other two, before holding the gun to his chin and shooting himself. This was likely deleted due to how stupidly overpowered it is, but it's terrifyingly awesome nonetheless.

** Logan and Laura fighting side by side against the Reavers. After being at each other's throats the entire time, they finally put everything aside to work together. Logan even tells Laura to stay behind him so he can shield her from the bullets due to his fully adamantium-covered skeleton making him a lot more durable than Lura whose claws are only laced in metal.

* Logan and Laura fighting side by side against the Reavers at the end. After being at each other's throats the entire time, they finally put everything aside to work together. Logan even tells Laura to stay behind him so he can shield her from the bullets due to his fully adamantium-covered skeleton making a lot more durable then Laura who only her claws are laced in the metal.

** Also, it's suspiciously convenient timing for a seizure - just as the Reavers closed in on Charles - and Charles says he stopped them while it's Logan (established before as sometimes underestimating Charles' knowledge and ability because of how addled he sometimes is) who says "No, that's one of your seizures, take the damn meds." There's every reason to see this as Charles singlehandedly stopping the Reavers and then losing control. The founder of the X-Men has one last supreme badass moment of the kind we know he's capable of but seldom get to see. One last time, he was Professor X, easily superior to an army of cyborgs on his worst day.

* Dafne Keen's performance [[spoiler:when Laura is with Logan as he dies deserves a mention because those aren't fake movie tears -- ''Keen is actually crying''.[[note]]You can tell by the way her nose starts running; during particularly heavy crying, the tear ducts back up into the nasal cavity, which flushes out the mucus.[[/note]]]] For that matter, Keen's performance all-around -- which is only her second acting credit and her first motion picture role--has been universally applauded by critics in what Mangold, Jackman, and Stewart have made clear would have been an incredibly demanding role for even a veteran performer. This tour de force is made all the more impressive by her age (eleven years old) and newcomer status.

** It gets better when you realize that it shares the same acclaim alongside ''Film/SpiderMan2'' and ''Film/TheDarkKnight'', which are widely considered the greatest superhero movies ever made by critics and audiences alike.

* ''Logan'' utterly ''crushed'' the international gross of ''Film/TheWolverine'''s entire run in a mere ''12 days''.
