Logan

Logan is probably one of the most character driven super hero movies I've seen, at least from the Marvel franchise. It's hard to believe that Hugh Jackman has been doing this role for like 17 years, but this film really puts that all into perspective.  This X-Men film redefines the genre it's usually associated with, with heartfelt performances from Jackman and Patrick Stewart.  Newcomer Dafne Keen has a magnetic understated charisma to nicely balance the aging gruff of Jackman, as the legacy baton is passed on to her.  Much of the film is in the template of Luc Besson's The Professional. Logan is certainly one of the most satisfying of all the X-Men films that instead of skimping on action, balances it cohesively with real character driven drama that gives it a cinematic grace and redemption sorely lacking in the previous films.
