A Nicely Crafted Storyline with Questionable Backstory

Rating: 8/10 (8 March 2017)

The last hurrah for Hugh Jackman and a tribute to how he grew into the role of Wolverine - that's what Logan is. The movie portrays the grim tale of a once superhero left in shambles with deteriorating powers and striding gradually towards the dusk.
While Jackman impresses with one of the best portrayals of any comic movie character till date, Patrick Stewart further demonstrates his acting chops as Dr X in a one-off miserable state.
The portrayals are grim at every stage with rare humorous moments that just give you room to breathe. The violence, however, is exactly how one always expected from a Wolverine movie. With his last outing as the adamantium touting mercenary-like hero, Jackman has left big shoes which shall be impossible to fill for his successor. Oh, and Dafne Keen is a find! Uttering few words throughout, she shares the screen aptly with her 'father'.
Overall, the movie moves along a surprisingly well-crafted screenplay that is gripping and has a satisfactory end.
Except for the ambiguous explanations via the backstory digging into the disappearance of the X-Men and a somewhat expected conclusion, the movie delivers on all aspects that Wolverine fans shall go to the theatre with.
