Okay, saw 40 minutes. Will have an overall write up later, but this is a much more violent, cool version of Wolverine #Logan @joblocom

X-23 absolutely steals the show. Best X-Men character since Deadpool. #Logan

The first 40 mins of LOGAN takes the “gritty superhero” conceit & utterly destroys it. Total mic drop. #20thCenturyFoxShowcase2017

My palms are sweating right now. This is R-rated epic. I was skeptic about R-rated Wolverine movie but 5 minutes in, I'm all in.

Just saw first act of #Logan. Wait til you guys meet Laura (X-23) — she steals every scene she is in.

Holy shit. Just watched the first 40 minutes of #Logan. If you loved #deadpool, you will go nuts with this and there's no comedy!

Also today comes a new photo offering a first look at Richard E. Grant as Dr. Xander Rice. In the comics, the sadistic scientist was instrumental to the creation of X-23, the female clone of Wolverine. His father worked on the original Weapon X project and was killed by Wolverine during the mutant hero’s escape.
Rice is not the main villain though, that character is Donald Pierce (Boyd Holbrook). “Logan” will hit cinemas March 3rd.
