This was literally everything that we have been asking out of Wolverine for 20 years. Goddamn, it was so good.

No spoilers!
I just got home from seeing this. My first impression is WOW, that was incredible. They knocked it out of the park in every way. I loved the "Coming not soon at all" Deadpool 2 trailer. That was great. It actually happened at my theater after the "movie is starting" pre-video, so I thought seeing Reynolds meant he was part of this movie. Great trailer, though.
They portrayed "elderly" Wolverine & Professor X perfectly. This movie had a surprising amount of emotion, despite being "just another super-hero movie". The plot was good. The world was well done. The characters were great. This was an all around great movie. I was very impressed with it. The fight scenes were top notch. The rated R tag was perfect. I like that they didn't focus on tons of gore, but instead allowed the characters to act the way they "should" act. Wolverine as a broken old man was exactly as I imagine an old fighter would be. He's getting old. Shit just doesn't work the way it used to, even if you "want" it to work that way. I mean, this movie gave us EVERYTHING we could have hoped for. It would be a spoiler to say more than that. A++ to the movie's "big bad".
FOX, thank you for making such a great movie.

This movie was fantastic. It felt like an actual, regular old "good movie". Not a superhero movie. Not X-Men, not anything like Avengers. I've heard it referenced as "The Dark Knight of X-Men", and it's not even that, either. Try to think of the last, really good movie you saw. Strip away the superpowers and this movie would have been just as good. Jackman and Stewart knock it out of the fuckin' park. There's emotion, realism. The R-rating was unexpected, though after Deadpool, I'm so damn glad that it was. And as said above, they didn't go crazy with the gore, but there definitely was some gore. So many claws to the head. And hearing Patrick Stewart say "fuck" is one of the best things ever. You honestly could not have asked for more from Jackman and Stewart. The supporting cast outside of the main trio (Wolvy, Professor, and X-23) could have used a little work, but they were mostly accents, driving the plot forward. The girl who plays X-23 doesn't say a goddamn word for most of the movie and still showed that she has the acting chops of some of the best. Those facial expressions were on-fucking-point. The bad guy didn't really feel villainous, nor did they really make me think about him as a looming threat (Wolvy and X-23 were just shown to be way too badass). Though again, he was just the main background driver of the plot. And there was some weird, almost forced shit that happens in the 3rd act, but it finishes in a manner that made me feel something I haven't felt in a comic book movie before. A feeling of finality. Closure.
Overall, I'd suggest this movie to almost anyone. Even my mother would probably like it.

I disagree, this was one of few movies I've seen where I was legit concerned about the heroes during every fight. It didn't feel like typical super hero fights where they go through the motions in a fight but in your head you know enough to know that the good guy isn't in any real trouble.

Well he did save those horses lol. But no, I didn't really understand that either, I guess just because they are old? And did they explain why wolvie was sick and dying? Because of the Adamantium?

Dr. Price asked Caliban about it. It seems to be some type of brain disease i.e. Alzheimer's or something. The meds they were giving him also prevented him from controlling Caliban and Logan. S those were blocking his powers as well

Well, earlier in the movie it mentioned that the Westchester incident killed 14 people. I can only assume that the 14 were "X-Men". And that Logan with his healing factor was the only person able to survive, which is why he took Chuck and fled from society.
And Calaban told the doctor that he had Degenerative Brain Disease. That's why the doctor said something about "Brain disease for the worlds mightiest brain".

I laughed at Laur's voice when she actually spoke. She sounded like Auto-tune mixed with helium. It was so high pitched. Then it calmed down a little later.

Fucking loved this movie. I would basically be repeating everything people said already, so just gonna address a couple of things in spoilers that were asked above.
Yes, it was implied that the adamantium is what is killing Logan. It is incredibly toxic to people over the long term, and his healing factor was the only thing keeping it at bay all these years. Now that his healing factor is sputtering out, it is basically like every bone in his body is poisoning him slowly.
As far as Xavier, I'm not sure that he killed all the X-Men, but I do believe that he killed a ton of innocent people in that other incident they mentioned. He definitely could have killed most of the X-Men though, since only healing factors (for some reason) seemed to give a person some resistance. But it wasn't clear enough to really say one way or another if that's what happened. It could also have just been natural attrition, fighting, assassinations, etc. and no new ones being born. Particularly since the X-Men timeline really hasn't covered anything after the 80s, they could have easily had 30 years of no new mutants and old ones getting killed off.
EDIT: I didn't remember them saying 14 people. Either way, there are waaaaay more than 14 mutants in the world, obviously, so that would lend credence to my theory that most of them just died off over time. He could have killed the main X-Men though I suppose, but you'd think they might have said 14 mutants killed, not just people.

I figured his adamantium skull was the reason he was less susceptible to the seizures

There was so much ancillary shit, world building that never went anywhere (some good, some bad). Lots of implied details that were never really flushed out. I really want a prequel movie or follow-up that explains why the personal modification was such a big deal. Or maybe I should just play through the Deus Ex's (*Edit: or maybe just wait for Deadpool 2...). I'm betting there's going to be a lot of extra cut film on a special edition 4K release... (I hope)
To me, they were just guys trying to do their job since they weren't openly murdering the shit out of everyone. They were omnipresent, for sure, with the constant parading of the stereotypical caravan of black vehicles. But their lack of ever really firing any weapons, seemed non-standard somehow. The only people who fired weapons that actually hit anyone were the farmer's neighborhood rednecks (or the vatos that shotgunned Logan). "Stop shooting, she regenerates!" Heh. They seemed like ex-military mercenaries for hire, rather than actual villains. The real evil were the people back at the plant. Specifically, the evil scientist that unleashed doppleganger Wolverine.
Pierce (sunglasses guy) also seemed kind of disgusted by mutants. I inferred he might have had some sort of jealousy or envy for mutants, and that he may have possibly been a mercenary who was hired to kill mutants - to answer the rest of "where did all the mutants go?"
I just read up on Pierce, and my brain totally didn't connect all of the prosthetics with that of cyborgs. Huge "no shit" blinker just went off in my brain. Cyborgs. Cyborg mutants. Predecessors to motherfucking CABLE. Speaking of, the preview before the movie was nice. Firefly. Nathan Summers (Cable). Etc. All very blatant and awesome.
