a punch to the gut

Rating: 7/10 (16 January 2018)

I already knew what most people would consider a big spoiler and had fair expectations, some kind of grumpy kind-hearted old Wolverine with a Last-of-Us-ish plot and setting, ok. Instead what I got was a ruthless punch to the gut.
I donÂ´t really care much for the plot, which might deserve a lower rating, what I find compelling is how it beams emotion with an unprecedented power for a superhero movie. The setting is an extremely cold, cruel and hopeless future (seriously, way too much for my taste) but I guess this extreme setting is needed since the man isnÂ´t ordinary. The man has a regenerative power and has lived countless years, what would it take to make him tired, seriously tired and old? That is why this film is a triumph: the entire run time conveys how the world just passes us by, our body simply gives up the fight and even the toughest one perishes at some point, craving for eternal rest. The world goes on, for better or worse, but who cares? It might be exhausting but it certainly got my attention.
