Col. Stryker, Magneto and Apocalypse? Yawn. In “Logan,” though, the “X-Men” franchise has finally discovered what really strikes fear in the hearts of men: an 11-year-old girl. Being stuck on a long car trip with her is the basis of the movie, and I’m still shuddering.

Most importantly, “Logan” has characters with which you identify and about whom you care. It's not just "great for a superhero movie," it's a great movie for any genre.

Most poignantly, as you might have guessed, is the fact that the film will be released on the 3rd of March — making it the first blockbuster of the Trump era.

The first R-rated Wolverine movie is bleak, uncompromising, and completely mesmerizing.

Seventeen years after 'X-Men’ made him a movie star, Hugh Jackman ends his run as the Wolverine — at least for now — with a neo-Western road trip through the heartland.

Logan is a strong argument for bringing the comic-book movie down to earth. It solidly hits its marks as it moves the franchise furniture around, and features striking special-effects scenes in which the world shudders to a near standstill.

The third 'Wolverine' film brings the saga to a satisfying finish, as Hugh Jackman's mutant slasher finds his powers on the wane.

In an era where one superhero movie merely exists to serve the next chapter, where there’s never really any doubt about what will happen to anyone on screen because we know they still have contractual obligations, it’s long been obvious that real stakes are the secret ingredient to creating something special in the genre.

Logan is a punch in the gut in all the right ways.

Hugh Jackman's last turn as Wolverine is the real, shotgun-toting, limb-lopping deal.

The third and final Wolverine film is a poignant study of ageing and infirmity, as the arthritic mutant holes up in Mexico with a declining Professor Xavier.

In 2029, Logan aka Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) is now an old soak whose mutant abilities are in decline and who makes a living as a chauffeur, boozing to ease the pain and keeping a low profile in a desert hideout alongside his even older friend Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart). But trouble finds him in the form of a mutant-hunting mercenary squad searching for a young girl named Laura (Dafne Keen) with a very familiar power-set...

Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart give heartfelt performances in their final outing as Wolverine and Professor X.

Hugh Jackman, as the Wolverine, goes out fighting.

James Mangold’s Logan, the third and latest stand-alone Wolverine movie, is a strange contradiction: It’s both the most violent film in the series and the most sentimental one.

You won’t get mature storytelling in this restricted-audiences outing, but there are F-bombs and head-stabbings galore.

I liked Logan not because of its grisliness, but despite it. And in erratic, passionate bursts, I loved Logan, for the tenderness of Wolverine and Xavier’s long goodbye to each other, and to us.

It recognizes that the thinly veiled secret of Wolverine’s loner act is that he’s always been a cog of some kind.

When Logan and Laura unleash their furious scythes nothing feels settled or satisfied. The world grinds on, fruitlessly weary and wild.

The rabid Wolverine fans among you should be warned: You won't be able to trust the following few paragraphs on "Logan."

The picture is mostly tedious and unpleasant, which is a shame for the sake of the performers. Jackman works hard here, and his performance does away with vanity altogether.
