I KNOW, RIGHT!?!?!
Now, I understand that trailers aren't the full feature, and there are a number of ways that they could fuck this up. But it seems like the writers (including one of the producers of American Gods!) understand two things:
1) They somehow, fifteen years ago, cast some of the best actors of this generation<1> in these roles, and it turns out they can probably carry a movie with some pathos in it.
2) After Winter Soldier and Civil War, it turns out that audiences are willing to accept comic book movies that are character driven dramas that happen to have action set pieces in them.

(this is not to say that all audiences want is Dark and Gritty. See Deadpool and Guardians of the Galaxy for proof of that).

I'm MASSIVELY impressed with choice to go for Little Girl X-23 and not Grown Up Sexy X-23.

<1> Or The Next Generation if you want to make the obvious Star Trek joke.

I say cautiously because the last time they made a Wolverine movie they fucked it up so hard. But this looks halfway decent.

Yeah, so I watched this over the weekend. Hoooooooly shitballs that was good. I really, REALLY liked Dafne Keen as 8 year old Laura.

And Logan stepping in the way of a gun to protect his car from getting shot was just priceless.

Finally got to see Logan last week. It was very well done, and I am glad I saw it. I'm not sure it was a movie I would see again; it was very much a meat-grinder. But it was very well done.

Kudos to young Laura. Dafne Keen did a brilliant job. And if the off set stories being told by Patrick Stuart and Hugh Jackman are true, I expect great things from her future work.

As an aside, we saw the live action Jungle Book last year. Not real Kipling, but a good movie. Neel Sethi played Mowgli brilliantly. Acting that well with CGI and with Names bodes well for his future as well.
