It's entirely, unambiguously 100% Logan's fault that that family got murdered.

Anyway, I liked this quite a bit, and I'm going to honor its memory and pretend it's the end of the X-Men franchise and never watch another.

One thing I might have missed?
The villain with the metal hand. Did his hand factor into anything at all? Other than "Hey I'm kinda like Dr. Claw from Inspector Gadget?"

As far as payoff, I guess he was incapacitated when Logan shot it, but he would have been equally or more incapacitated if he'd been shot in a regular old organic hand, so not really. If we're to assume that he lost the hand to Laura (which strangely is more strongly suggested in one of the trailers iirc), I guess it makes everything a bit more personal for his character.

It's just such a breath of fresh air to have a superhero movie that does its own thing- isn't an origin story, doesn't have to lean on existing continuity or set things up for future installments. It serves no masters except telling a compelling story. If it does well, I hope that's the lesson studios take from it, not that the movies need to have more titties, and blood, and cusses. (Spoiler: they will take the wrong lessons)
