That said, because of the tone difference and limited references to past X-Men movies, it was more of a self-contained story that could be appreciated by anyone looking to watch an R-rated, violent, emotional tale.
Fortunately, X-Men fans weren’t left without any callbacks to the past.
As the 10th movie in the X-Men franchise, it’s surprising just how self-contained Logan feels.
Don’t get me wrong, the movie will be most appreciated by longtime fans of this series of superhero movies who have watched Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine and Patrick Stewart’s Charles Xavier for years.
