God made him a freak, Man made him a weapon, she made him human

Rating: 9/10 (9 March 2017)

There was once a time when superhero movies would never be considered as serious movies that anyone over the age of 12 would watch. Ever since X-men released in 2000, this changed. The man who unknowingly steered the ship and converted this shadow X-man into one of the most recognizable movie characters is now retiring.
Hugh Jackman completes his 17 years adorning the adamantium claws and leaves with the perfect goodbye. This movie is perfect in many ways and flawed in a few. As a fan of the Mark Millar comic "Old Man Logan", I walked into the theatre expecting to see it come to life. But this movie surprised me easily as it was tough to make this story more emotional and yet not soppy.
The story is set in a dystopian future like the comics, but in one of the many flaws still uses technology and transport from 2017. The introduction of Laura Kinney with the talented Daphne Keen playing her is perfect, and it is truly sad that we will not get to see her continue. Despite being completely ready, we are still kept at the edges of our seats. One example for this is the inclusion of X-24 from the comic that we see in the movie as well, but the scene in itself enthralls us.
But no matter what our level of preparedness is, we will not be able to digest the ending. With elements throughout the story telling us of the impending doom for the titular character, the end is heavily influenced by the "Death of Wolverine" story-line.
When we walk out of the theatre we realize that the hero we grew up loving is no more and the level of sadness in the climax just heightens our own sorrow. It is surprisingly the best non-ensemble Marvel Movie till date (sorry Civil War).
