This movie is amazing. It is brutal, violent and R-Rated, but unlike Deadpool, it isn't a Crazy Awesome, CG-based, comedic romp. It's grim, dour, and scary.
In other words, it's the Wolverine movie we needed. It captures the horror of being Wolverine, the horror of fighting Wolverine, and the horror of merely being near a mutant. Essentially, mutants are extinct.
However, what makes it much better is how, despite its brutality and horror, it's a Tear Jerker at its finest, with Logan and Laura becoming almost like a father and daughter. Despite its grim attitude, their parental relationship is both adorable and, at some points, funny.
Not to mention outstanding writing and acting, which makes you genuinely care about the characters. Even the newcomers are extremely easy to care about. The family they spend the night with? You'll care about them. The woman who starts the whole plot? You'll care about her.
Oh, and while nobody else will mention it because it's so tragic, the villains are really, really convincing, and, in the case of Pierce, downright cool at times. They pull off being sinister and realistic at the same time. Nothing like Apocalypse.
10/10. The best X-Men movie. It deserves an Academy Award, even though it likely won't win one.
Last ride. You're welcome.
