Dirt, Blood and Age

Rating: 9/10 (5 March 2017)

According to Hugh Jackman this will be his last depiction of the character Logan alias Wolverine. After two mixed solo attends, this movie is finally what fans and critics were waiting for.
Logan is a broken down man, with the great days past by. Now his healing powers fade and of all the friends of the past is only a senile Charles Xavier left, who needs medicine to keep is dangerous powers locked away. This is the starting point of a often brutal but sometimes also heartbreaking journey through a near future world with the mutant being only a story of the past.
The direction by James Mangold and the characters in this movie are gorgeous. There are many little details that you would not expect in a movie like this. Overall the feeling of an old western a la Eastwood is omnipresent. There are absolutely dirty and bloody fight scenes with rolling heads and claws through the face, but between these violent scenes there is much character development. Something you would also not expect in a comic book movie.
I enjoyed the final view onto Hugh Jackmans Wolverine and the way they ended everything. So after The Lego Batman we already got the second superhero movie that did it different and right.
