This is probably the most faithful adaptation of a comic book character EVER, Marvel and DC combined. Without giving too much away, there is much more here than I can go into but I will say, if you are a fan of the Wolverine comics, this film will bring a tear to your eye.
Due to this, he lives this quiet life until he meets a young girl who he feels he must protect. He is a borderline alcoholic suffering from a mysterious illness that limits his mutant abilities. He is a limo driving cantankerous caretaker to an even more cantankerous Professor X, who is now suffering from dementia and seizures. Mutants are nearly extinct, water is scarce and the world is just an overall wasteland. Picked a better or more satisfying film to end his cinematic legacy with.The film takes place in 2029 and shows the world in shambles. This is everything anyone could have wanted in a Wolverine film.From me "Logan" gets a perfect 10/10. This is by far the best Wolverine movie and possibly the best X-Men movie to date. This is where everything really meshes together with a force, creating a pulse-pounding, edge of your seat final sendoff for Hugh Jackman as he retires from the role. Even in the scenes where the film may feel a bit slow, the final act of the film is the payoff. You don't want to see them put in harm's way. You care about these characters, you are invested in them. The final scene of the film makes you wanna cry. It would look cool, but giving Hugh Jackman the proper sendoff was what was more important in a film like this.This film at times gets downright emotional. If this were just an all-out 2 hour and 20 minute "hack-and-slash" fest this film would have no depth to it. This is a film that puts its characters and story first before anything else, with violence being a secondary element to help propel the story along and to create tension. It is not violent for the sake of being violent. From a violence standpoint, the violence is there when the film calls for it. If this is what you had always wanted from a Wolverine movie and haven't gotten it up to this point, well this movie gives you all of that. Wolverine hacks, claws, and slashes his way through skirmishes with blood, guts, and gore flying. It is brutally violent, by far the most violent X-Men film w have gotten. From the get go, you know what type of movie you are in for. When Wolverine gets into a fight, Hugh Jackman is so good in these scenes it's like he got into a fight with the filmmakers on set.This film does not hold back from a violence standpoint.
The conviction from Hugh Jackman in this movie was just spot on and really captured the ways Wolverine felt at certain moments. We've never seen Wolverine this vulnerable.
This is by far Hugh Jackman's best performance as Wolverine. Her motivation to find a safe haven is so well felt in this film that it just brings you a sigh of relief that there is still a sense of good out there in the world of this film where everything seems dark, bleak, and hopeless. You don't ever really know what her next move is going to be. There was that sense of mystery to her character that you wouldn't really expect from a film like this. All of the sequences with Laura were riveting. This girl, Laura, is the star of the show. We learn more about Professor X and what he has been doing, and then there's this little girl, who probably should be annoying, but luckily isn't and that was a sigh of relief. We get enough of Wolverine's backstory within the first few minutes to really become attached to him if we already weren't. It's a character-driven film, and it probably has the most characterization in an X-Men film to date. "Logan" is a grounded film, a film that really takes its time to tell its story and to develop its characters.
