Why critics are calling 'Logan' the 'best superhero movie ever'

"Logan" is finally out in theaters this weekend, and the R-rated film is already getting high praise from critics and audiences alike. Critics are impressed with the script: It's gritty, violent, and balances the intense action sequences expected from a superhero movie with the quiet drama expected from a compeltely different one.

The risks director and cowriter James Mangold took with Hugh Jackman's final performance as Wolverine is a compeltely satisfying end to his 17-year portrayl of the character. It also stands out amid the X-Men franchise and superhero movies in general, and is likely to change them for the better.
