As most of you are aware I have not been a huge fan of the latest X-Men outings, but THIS WAS AWESOME!
In a rather bleak entry we see a Post X-Men Logan, something has happened and the mutants no longer exist or there is a few of them out there. Director James Mangold chose to make the film almost colorless with much, much more character development than previous Wolverine and X-Men movies. We see a tired character that no longer belongs in a world that has feared him for over a century.
While Hugh Jackman in his last outing as Logan does an amazing job and proves once and for all why NO ONE ELSE can ever be Wolverine, the supporting cast does a superb job as well starting with Sir Patrick Stuart who returns as Charles Xavier, Boyd Holbrook (Netflix's NARCOS) as an astounding and dangerous antagonist and newcomer Dafne Keen who is a rather sweet but incredibly deadly Weapon X-23.
The movie is filled with gore and violence, but it does not feel forced at all in such an obscure movie. There is a rather new trend in Comic Book Movies after DEADPOOL, make them as brutal as possible, and while this started in the 90s with THE CROW and BLADE it has gained some track and more R Rated CBM are being developed as we speak.
I HIGHLY recommend it.

I really enjoyed it. It's a movie about despair and you can really feel it through out the movie. That's not to say it doesn't have humour. It has plenty but it is a grim movie.

I've heard it's pretty political. Is that true? I don't like it when movies try to jam their political agenda down your throat.

I didn't find it to be as political as the other X-Men movies. As I mentioned it's main theme seems to be despair. And not social inequality or civil rights. It's still a very human story though.

Didn't get any serious political propaganda in this, and I pick up on it very easily. It's a film which does what it sets out to do and Logan gets the send-off he deserves.
For a Hollywood film released in 2017 it's surprisingly apolitical. Sure there are some parts, but nothing coarse.

There is the illegal immigrant metaphor.

(MINOR SPOILERS)
I saw it last night. Loved it, except for the ending which nearly ruined it for me. I mean, I know we all saw that coming, but it was still way too distracting and was the only part I could remember for the next few hours after seeing the movie. That was probably the intention though, so I guess that means they did a good job.
