What WE Say
Here's the official word from Comicbook.com's own, Brandon "BD" Davis!
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.

Wolverine Action
JoBlo Editor-in-Chief Paul Shirley assures fans that Logan delivers Wolverine action "you've been waiting to see."
Okay, real quick. The first few minutes of #Logan show exactly the Wolverine in action you’ve been waiting to see. @joblocom

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
— Brandon Davis (@BrandonDavisBD) December 8, 2016
Alright, 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!
First 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

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

Plot Details Revealed
/Film reveals a some fun plot details about Logan - like X-23 being Latina, and the film taking place in a future where X-Men comic books exist!
#Logan is set in a world where X-Men comics exist.

Also: X-23 is Latina! #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.
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!
— Wilson Morales (@blackfilm) December 8, 2016
Unlikely Inspiration
James Mangold revealed his inspiration for Logan, and it's definitely a strange muse...
Logan - James Mangold imagined it as Little Miss Sunshine #Logan pic.twitter.com/Osy6W0fSj7

Logan takes place in the year 2024, where mutant births have become extremely rare. The defenders of mutant kind, the X-Men, are long gone, and the only remains of them are an old and struggling Charles Xavier and a weary Logan. Logan's vaunted healing factor has slowed, and at times doesn't seem to work at all. When a young mutant needs his help, Logan has to unsheathe his claws once more. His job isn't over yet.
Logan hits theaters on March 3, 2017.
