Logan
Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart and James Mangold (director of 2013's The Wolverine) are back for the third Wolverine, featuring an older, more broken, Logan than we've seen to date.
In the near future, a weary Logan cares for an ailing Professor X in a hide-out on the Mexican border. But Logan's attempts to hide from the world and his legacy are up-ended when a young mutant arrives, being pursued by dark forces.

Reviews & comments
Flicks, Tony Stamp
flicksIn an era when super-heroics dominate the multiplex, Logan manages to offer something unique. For a start, Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart have been playing these characters for 17 years now, bringing with them the full weight of that history.
This is one Logang you really do want to join
Definitely an awesome ride, full on and thrilling from start to end with some real emotion mixed in there too. I enjoyed all of it really, I think it was done pretty much as well as it could have been. Definitely the best superhero movie I've seen full stop.
A pure example of how deep a movie about a simple comic book character can be.
Logan is not only a phenomenal entry into the X-Men universe but an all-around amazing film. It's a film that defies what we have come to expect in the super-hero sub-genre, in the best way possible. Its three leads: Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, and Dafne Keen are all outstanding and give the film its emotional weight. It has a plot that is rich in themes...
a pint sized 'slash' fest
I've watched the X Men films and their spin offs but I must say I'm not that invested in the franchise, it is definitely a sharp departure from those other films, harsher and grittier with a body count to rival John Wick. I'm guessing this is a step in another direction for the franchise, a retirement of sorts for the old characters for to usher in the new,...
Variety
pressThe analog pace and elemental story work for it. Each time the violence explodes, it's slashingly satisfying, because it's earned, and also because Mangold knows just how to stage it.
Total Film
pressFull of juicy surprises. But what impresses most is how, for once, this is a comic-book film that has the guts to wrap things up.
The Guardian
pressA forthright, muscular movie which preserves the X-Men's strange, exotic idealism.
Little White Lies
pressJackman clearly adores the character, and he embraces the chance to essentially reinvent the mutton-chopped slayer for one final hurrah. It's strange to think that this might stand as one of his greatest performances, but so it goes.
Hollywood Reporter
pressSeamlessly melding Marvel mythology with Western mythology, James Mangold has crafted an affectingly stripped-down standalone feature, one that draws its strength from Hugh Jackman's nuanced turn as a reluctant, all but dissipated hero.
Empire Magazine
pressWhen it comes to playing a properly magnetic anti-hero with a gruff '70s-cinema exterior and a dark reservoir of inner depth, Jackman really is the best at what he does.
