From start to finish, this low budget movie displays a glorious convergence of terrible acting, plot holes, curious facial expressions, overly simplistic dialogs, inexplicable animosities and attractions, unrealistic and hilarious reactions to what should be traumatic events like finding a dead body or discovering a baby left in your home, etc. Somehow the confluence of these failures add up to a surprisingly entertaining "fail comp" experience. Thus 2 stars instead of 1.

Overall the "X" franchise has not been as good as, say, the MCU or the Dark Knight trilogy IMHO. Logan, however, is up there with the best comic book movies of any franchise. Tons of heart. Solid pacing and directing. Solid performances by the main characters. Variety of settings. A strange combination of beauty and brutality. It's one of the only comic book movies where the end came and I was like, I don't want this to end! Thankfully a perfectly chosen Johnny Cash song helped me transition from the film back to the real world.
