How is it for people who don't care about X-Men? (Off-Topic)

I never enjoyed the X-Men movies all that much, but always appreciated Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.

I couldn't really tell you a damn thing that happens in any of the movies or much about X-Men in general. Can I enjoy Logan as a standalone experience with basically no knowledge of the franchise?

I think you'll love it then.

There's a few weird moments where if you didn't see an earlier movie, you won't know who a character is or know exactly what they're referencing, but those are few and far between, and mostly explained via the course of the film so you'll get it later on (I missed a few films, and that's how I felt watching this, anyway).

Again, the only thing that bothered me was the stuff that was different from the comics. If you don't go in with that knowledge, you'll be able to enjoy the film fully for what it is. A great action film with an interesting coming of age story about an extremely late bloomer.
