Hugh Jackman Does It Best

Rating: 10/10 (13 March 2017)

There are lots of great actors that have convincingly portrayed comic book characters. However, I think Hugh Jackman is the best in my opinion. Especially, after watching this latest installment. I think this is mostly because he's a great actor, but also because he had fun doing it. He wasn't like many Hollywood actors that fear being typecast. I think he knew how lucky he was to get to play Wolverine, and never took it for granted.
I think even in a couple of the other X-Men films that didn't receive as high acclaim, his portrayal of Wolverine was spot on. He was and is The Wolverine. Logan gives the fans what they have been waiting for though it's pretty tough to watch at times.
My only fear is that to make a few bucks, some studio will try to redo Wolverine with another actor. That would be tragic and poorly received I think. It would be like doing a Dirty Harry without Clint Eastwood or a Forrest Gump without Tom Hanks. Bad move. I think Hugh went out on top but if by some chance anyone else plays Wolverine even in a cameo it should be him. Even if he's 60. He's earned the right to have his jersey retired.
