Pros: The feels. Performances of Jackman/Stewart/Keen (the
feral little girl). Storyline.
Cons: The brutality. Too long.

always contain some spoilers but I rarely give away the ending.

Notes: Professor X is extremely old and demented, this
aspect is very interesting and totally heartbreaking, and time is finally
catching up with Logan as well. Their relationship is one of a man in need of
physical care and the reluctant caregiver. Also, one in need of emotional care
and a not quite able caregiver. A lot of tear-jerking scenes there especially
with this being the last X-Men movie, for Jackman at least. It’s hard to see the
treasure that is Patrick Stewart like this.
Enter adorable half-Mexican, half-Wolverine child. She’s a
badass with little kid front and back claws with the power of regeneration. Some
dark, governmental, paramilitary outfit has suppressed the mutant gene in the
public but is using the DNA to create future super soldiers. Only thing is,
these kids are living things with feelings and desires and such. Now that they
have found a way to breed that out and create a fully grown, ready to rock
mutant, they are just going to slaughter the kids. Cull the herd. It’s fucked
up. Knowing this, the nurses, at least one of them, help the little mutant kids
escape whereupon they will meet up in South Dakota and cross into mutant
friendly Canada, eh.
There are several twists throughout, one that was fucking
shocking, which I shant give away. One thing I shall mention, however, is Eriq
La Salle, Darryl Jenks (the antagonist) from Coming to America and Dr. Benton
from ER, shows up. So does Stephen Merchant from The Ricky Gervais Show.
