Not your regular superhero film

Rating: 10/10 (4 March 2017)

Now by no means am I a 'critic' or a specialist in film, but I do have to say, this movie is something special. It is most certainly different from the other X-men and Wolverine movies that we've had before, including superhero movies in general.
It doesn't try and disguise and sugar-code things, as you may have expected from the R rating. There are very brutal scenes in this movie from kids being shot at to an entire family being murdered... and it pulls it off. Every action scene is intense and almost makes you feel like you're there with them. You also really feel these characters, Logan for example, you know why he's beyond angry with the world, you know why the girl is furious with the people that took her and you can definitely see it in her character that she is scarred.
The last 10-20 minutes of the movie you're on the edge of your seat. When Logan takes the medicine and just goes ham on everyone you can feel the strength. When it wears off, you're scared for him, you feel unprotected and insecure. And it's kind of like that the entire movie because you know he's weak, old, so is Xavier. There are moments when you say to yourself, is he done for? Is this it?
By the end scene when Logan is dying and Laura says "Daddy" it is the saddest and most gut-wrenching thing you've ever seen.
This movie is everything you wanted it to be, and is a perfect farewell to Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.
