Three questions

Is Logan scary?

Only a little. Logan has a few tense moments, nothing that follows you to bed.

How gory is Logan?

Graphic gore and brutal violence. If graphic gore is a dealbreaker, skip it.

What is Logan rated, and is it OK for kids?

Rated R, and it earns it: brutal violence, frequent strong language and graphic gore. Not one for kids.

What is Logan about?

In the near future, a weary Logan cares for an ailing Professor X in a hideout on the Mexican border. But Logan's attempts to hide from the world and his legacy are upended when a young mutant arrives, pursued by dark forces.
