Again re-affirming the audience's appetite for mature, R-rated superhero movies, Logan gave Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart incredible send-offs in their respectable X-Men roles, hurled headlong into a bleakly brutal post-apocalyptic landscape as superbly directed by James Mangold.

More of a western-cum-chase movie than a conventional superhero pic, Logan favours characterisation over bloated set-pieces, though also makes good on the grotesque action too.

The real star of the show, however, might be young Dafne Keen, whose remarkable performance as Laura forms the film's emotional core, while also setting up a planned spin-off centred on her character.

With its brave, definitive close to Logan's story, this was just the breath of fresh air comic book fans (and especially X-Men devotees) were desperately craving.
