Hugh Jackman Takes The Last Stand As The Wolverine in 'Logan'.

Rating: 8/10 (7 March 2017)

Now you have 20th Century Fox taking a huge risk with not only this character, but with this franchise as well. If you are thinking that you are getting another comic book movie that follows the same pattern as the others. Believe me, you are getting something new and refreshing in the superhero/comic book genre. This is something the genre has been needing for a long time.
One of the many problems people, including myself, had with the last X – Men movie, X – Men: Apocalypse, was it was more of the same. I did enjoy that movie; on the other hand, I do believe it is one of the weaker films in the series.
This is honestly the most depressing film in the series. It's almost like this film doesn't even like their main character. It's sad to see what Wolverine has come to. He saved the world, has traveled back in time, and has been a hero for people and mutants. Now he is miserable, sick, has thoughts of suicide, he is dirty, and he has a job as a limousine driver, driving teenagers to prom.
Accordingly, this movie is Rated R with a purpose. It isn't Rated R to show you more guts, more blood, more profanity and more nudity. It's not like the "Rated R" version of Batman v Superman. Where Batman drops an F – bomb just because. To me that is not really being edgy or taking a chance. Taking a chance is making a project Rated R to challenge the characters morals, have character development, and go in a new direction for a story. Which this film does wonderfully.
This movie is more of a drama, but this movie has a lot of action to. When Wolverine goes berserk, I'm telling you, that son of a b*tch goes berserk, buck wild, and he loses his mind!
Claws exit out of people's faces, skulls, and this is the most brutal I've seen Wolverine. X – 23 is also a real hardcore bad ass as well. Sometimes she out shines Wolverine in the fight scenes.
She is only eleven in the movie, but she is a great actress. Most of the time she stays quiet. She has to show us her feelings through facial expressions, which she captures those emotions very well. When she does speak, both English and Spanish, you can tell she is delivering her lines with passion. She has so much emotional weight to carry, and for this little girl it seems like the weight wasn't too heavy. She also has some funny scenes as well.
The End of an Era for the X – Men?
As much as I loved the series, I do not think this will be the last of these mutants. Even though this movie ended so beautifully, it wouldn't bother me at all if this was the last film in the franchise. I love the way the film ends. Even though it was a little depressing, it was a nice send off for Jackman, it ended where if the movies want to, they can possibly create a spin off, and it seemed to put everything to rest in positive way.
The movie has well developed characters, it's a change in the genre, it's action packed, funny, and it's a perfect send off for Jackman. Thank you Hugh. I believe Logan earns
8 out of 10!
That being said, thank you all for reading and or viewing, and I hope you all have an X - cellent day as always. :)
