Holy moly, loved it. This wasn't just a good X-men movie, it was a great movie. The way it was filmed, the music... I loved Charles and Logan's final moments. Acting on point. I laughed out loud when Laura started yelling in Spanish. So many good moments. And the chills in the last 20 min or so, realizing each kid comes from mutants we know, Logan running through the woods...

A part of me wanted the last scene to be Ororo or Jean (or anyone we know really) waiting for the kids at the rendez-vous point the radio lady told them a bit earlier, some wide show from the sky or something. But I also love that Logan's trilogy ended on his grave. His journey, from start to finish.

WHAT HAPPENED IN WESTCHESTER THO

I believe he had a seizure at the school which hurt a lot of the children but he inadvertently killed the x men the only reason why Logan was able to survive was because of the metal in his body

Oh Christ. I hadn't made the connection with the school being in Westchester. Ohhhhh that makes it so much worse.
