Sex & Nudity

  • A woman briefly exposes her breasts in a car.

Violence & Gore

  • Overall: Frequent, brutal and extremely graphic sequences of high impact action violence with significant blood and injury detail. People are stabbed and decapitated usually with quick but sometimes brutal results. The violence is fast-paced but not hard to notice, but it's frequent nonetheless.
  • During the opening scene of the film, a gang member shoots Wolverine in the chest with a shotgun, and we see him on the ground with bloody wounds in his chest. As he tries to protect his car, he's shot in the shoulder. The gang members then beat him up and kick him. Wolverine kills them and slices a man's arm off (no blood). A man gets slashed in the face and impaled through through the chin. Wolverines claws go through the top of someones head with small pieces of skull flying. We then see their corpses on the ground covered in blood and wounds. This scene is very intense although not too graphic and not much blood or gore.
  • Wolverine tries pulling out one of his claws, and we hear him groan in pain and his hand starts bleeding while we also see his knuckles covered in pus and blood.
  • A woman's right arm is bloodied from a gunshot wound, she stitches it up.
  • A dead woman is shown in a motel with a bullet in her chest, no blood is shown.
  • In a video an empty hospital bed is covered in blood. A man watches a video of scientists performing surgery on a little kid, not much detail is shown. A girl with metal claws cuts herself repeatedly, blood gushes out of her arms, a kid commits suicide by jumping off a building, we don't see him fall to the ground but still disturbing. A mutant uses his powers to light a man on fire, (not graphic or shown in detail). Sad and intense.
  • A man is hit in the back of the head with a metal pipe, he then falls to the ground unconscious, later on he wakes up with his face bleeding after being kicked in the face.
  • Three men attempt to capture a girl inside a warehouse, we hear gunshots and screams in pain, implying they are killed.
  • A little girl is carrying a decapitated head, we see the stump, she rolls it on the ground creating a trail of blood.
  • A little girl using her metal claws to kill armed soldiers with a small amount of blood splattering. A man shoots the girl with a harpoon and we see it go right through her, staining her shirt with blood. She then pulls it out of her with lots of blood coming out. Wolverine kills several soldiers by slashing them across the face and body (this mostly includes a small amount of blood). Laura stabs a soldier in the eyes behind a car window and we see lots of blood on the window. A heavily armored truck with people in it is then crushed by a freight train.
  • A mutant's skin burns up and starts swelling and falling apart from being in the sunlight, we hear sizzling and see his horrifically burned face.
  • Wolverine stabs three men frozen in time in the face and abdomen. Laura stabs a wounded soldier in the chest, a small amount of blood is thrown from his chest.
  • Wolverine lies in a hospital bed with several graphic wounds in his chest and abdomen.
  • An intense action sequence shows Wolverine and Laura kill several armed soldiers by stabbing and slashing them across the face, neck and chest in a forest, but this is all shown super quickly making it hard to see any blood and gore or injury detail. Wolverine is shot twice, with a little bit of blood spraying. He grabs a man from behind and uses his gun to shoot a soldier in the head, with bloody results but extremely quick. Wolverine is left standing with some bullet holes, still alive but covered in lots of blood.
  • Several kids use their powers to kill a mercenary, we hear his neck snap and possibly some blood coming from his neck, but this is easy to miss.
  • A kid uses her powers to impale a man with thousands of wood splinters, causing him to bleed as he groans in pain and is eventually torn apart into pieces, causing him to explode into pieces of gore and meat. This is very brief, but is shown mostly onscreen and is one of the more graphic parts in the movie.
  • As said before, in one scene a girl gets a harpoon speared through her heart but survives, although with blood staining her sweatshirt.
  • Very intense, fast-paced and fatal violence throughout.
  • Though this film is very violent (enough to justify the R rating), a lot of the violence is quick.
  • It should be noted that while this movie is violent, it is more of a fast-paced action movie (similar to "John Wick") than a gorefest.
  • There is a fifteen minute sequence that is close to being from a horror film. In it, blood is very prevalent, around 15 people are brutally murdered.
  • The film is filled with intense and fast violence.
  • Onscreen body count: 76 but in the movie, the violence is very strong.
  • Several extremely intense and chaotic battle sequences throughout. However, they're all fast-paced and there's not much detail because of that, but can still be a bit brutal.
  • Logan and Laura's retractable metal claws are used to slash and kill their enemies.
  • While most of the action is fast and some of it is implied, there are some images of bloody injuries and violence.

Profanity

  • 54 uses of "fuck", several uses of "shit" and "asshole", 4 uses of "dick" and 4 uses of "damn",

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Logan buys tobacco, but we do not see him smoking onscreen.
  • Logan injects medicine into Professor X in addition to giving him pills to end his seizures.
  • Logan is seen drinking alcohol throughout the film. He is also seen injecting himself with a medical drug towards the end of the movie.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The beginning of the film pretty much gives you a good idea of how violent the film is going to be, but as it goes on the violence escalates.
  • The whole film has an incredibly bleak and hopeless tone, and has the look and feel of a dystopian movie.
  • There are incredibly intense scenes such as the warehouse fight, and some scenes have somewhat of a horror vibe to them.
  • Wolverine is covered in blood in a lot of scenes.
  • The forest battle is pretty brutal, with Wolverine running and clawing through various mercenaries as he is shown roaring angrily.
  • The character that Boyd Holbrook plays is a mercenary who enjoys inflicting harm upon mutant children.
  • This movie is intense but not that scary at all. However, it's very bleak.

Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Violence & Gore

  • Logan gets brutally impaled into a tree branch. Lots of blood are shown quickly flowing and splattering out of his stomach and staining his shirt. He's then stabbed with claws, with more blood spraying out. Logan then dies from his wounds in Laura's arms as she cries in sorrow and grief. This scene is very emotional and upsetting, especially for fans of the character Logan/Wolverine.
  • A man shoots a Wolverine clone in the shoulder, large amount of blood spurts from his shoulder. The clone then slices the mans head off, we then see it fall on the ground, some blood is shown. A group of men start to shoot him, the clone then kills them all by slashing them across the face and abdomen (not much is shown), we hear some of them scream in pain.
  • A mutant kills himself along with two other mercenaries using two hand grenades, we see him and the two mercenaries die in the explosion. The mutant's burned corpse is seen later on.
  • Both Wolverine and the clone known as X-24 start to fight, they both stab and slash each other repeatedly with blood splattering, very intense and extremely brutal. A man runs the clone into the claw of a bulldozer, two blades of the claw brutally pierce him, the driver then shoots him in the face with a shot three times (gore sprays out each time), the third leaves a graphic gaping hole in his face. Very violent and brutal but shown from a distance.
  • Professor X's dead body is shown in the back of a truck.
  • A wounded clone is removed from the bulldozer claw that pierced him. The front of the car that ran him into the claw is covered in blood. We then see a giant gaping hole in his face as he's missing one eye and he has several shotgun wounds in his cheek. The eye and bullet holes heal after he is injected with a healing serum, the wound is shown.
  • A man is shot in the neck, not that bloody. A bloody and brutal fight breaks out between Wolverine and the clone of him, this is somewhat hard to watch, Laura then stabs the clone repeatedly, some blood spurts. A man shoots wolverine in the leg with a harpoon, not that bloody or brutal.
  • During the ending. The clone is then left standing with multiple stab wounds. A kid uses his powers to lift a heavily armored truck on top of a mutant, we see it fall on him, it looks like he's dead but then he gets back up covered in blood and unhealed wounds.
  • A genetic clone of Wolverine stabs Charles in the chest with his metal claws, as he removes his claws we then see Charles's shirt soaked in blood along with his mouth, Laura then stabs the clone repeatedly, he then throws her off his back against the wall and she is knocked out. A boy swings his metal bat at the clones face, he then has a bloody black eye and then it quickly heals, he then stabs the boy in the stomach with his claws, (this is seen from a surveillance camera and happens below frame) and we hear the claws go into his stomach, his body is seen on the floor covered in blood. A woman fires a shotgun, (heard offscreen), her body is on the floor and her neck is soaked in blood implying that her throat was sliced open. A man is stabbed in the chest with metal claws, he then falls down the stairs. We see his body on the floor and his chest is soaked in blood although the wound is hard to make out.
  • A kid uses her powers to freeze a man's arm. We see lots of blood and dead tissue building up into a stump as the arm becomes increasingly gangrenous and necrotic until it turns into solid ice. Afterwards, the girl smashes the arm and it's shattered into pieces as the man screams in agony. Quick but kinda gory.
  • A mutant clone is shot in the head with an Adamantium bullet, leaving a graphic gaping hole in his face, with some gore shown spurting. This is without a doubt the most violent scene in the whole movie, although it still happens really quickly.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Wolverine die at the end, even though it's Jackman's last X-Men film, him and Professor X dying can still be very brutal and emotional, especially to fans who have enjoyed these characters for 20 years.
  • The action scene on the farm is like something out of a horror movie, the scene involves a whole family and dozens of men being brutally murdered by a genetic clone of wolverine, this scene can be hard to watch for some viewers.
  • The ending is extremely emotional and very depressing.
