R-Rating
We'll leave it to Comicbook.com's Brandon Davis to sum up what many are saying about Logan's achievement of R-rated status:
HOLY R-RATED LOGAN SHIT MY GOD

prevnextAlright, well the language is a little much for a Wolverine movie. But the violence was really cool. The R-rating does give it a fresh take.

Prof. Xavier's Blunt Talk
It seems tha Patrick Stewart's Prof. Xavier will be borrowing verbal cues from the actor's other big role right now: Walter Blunt on Starz' Blunt Talk!
prevnextFirst act of #Logan is tremendous. Plus, I've now heard Professor X say "fuck" or some variation of it at least five times.

True Grit Western
Industry writer Kristy Puchko compares Logan to a gritty western like True Grit. Rebecca Pahle of Pajiba agrees:
Based on the first act, #Logan is a western with a hard-R and true grit. I want more. NOW. #foxshowcase pic.twitter.com/Gc0Kuz1uvf

prevnext#Logan... doesn't really feel like an X-Men movie. Mean that in a good way. More of a Western/Mad Max Fury Road vibe.

X-23
Paul Shirley assures worried fans that X-23 will be badass in Logan. Heroic Hollywood's Leon Brill agrees:
If you have doubts about how X23 will be in #Logan you can rest easy. She is awesome and vicious. #Logan @joblocom
— Paul Shirey (@arcticninja) December 8, 2016
prevnextX-23 absolutely steals the show. Best X-Men character since Deadpool. #Logan

Deadpool Comparison
Black Film's Wilson Morales says that Logan is another great example of X-Men movies in Rated-R fashion - even without all the laughs.
prevnextHoly shit. Just watched the first 40 minutes of #Logan. If you loved #deadpool, you will go nuts with this and there's no comedy!
— Wilson Morales (@blackfilm) December 8, 2016
