One of the most iconic character in the marvel franchise has come to an end in the big screen. With legendary actor Hugh Jackman deciding to hang up the claws,but put them on his final act after 17 years of portraying The Wolverine and 10 movies the old man has come to an end. Winner of a Golden Globe,an Emmy and a Tony it brings us sadness to see him retire,personally for me i have accepted this but it was a surprise when heard this.But enough praising the guy let’s talk about the movie.

This movie is not for kids,don’t go see this with a little cousin or son just don’t. This movie is special for many reasons other than the obvious that he’s going to die, if by now you haven’t seen it some spoilers will follow this entry. The movie starts just plain depressing in a far future where mutants don’t exist anymore we see our favorite x-men being a limo driver drinking and  taking pain killers just to pass the day all of this is part of this is because he’s old and his powers but we will get into that later only a handful of mutants exist but in the movie the only mutants are:Logan,Charles Xavier (Professor X) and Caliban.

What you will see is not a thrill ride but one hell of way to say goodbye so get your tissues ready. We see the founder of the x-men all kinds of messed up the old man has Alzheimer’s and gets massive seizures that can literally kill you. Meanwhile Logan has scars all over him heck the movie stars with him getting mugged a by some Mexicans (WRONG move) trying to steal his car’s rings while this happens he tells them to not do it and immediately gets shot after a fight breaks out only that he’s claws don’t pop completely. As i was sitting in the audience i felt sad because he’s and old timer defending himself and seeing that claws don’t go all the way like we always see in other movies of course he wins the fight but this one will leave some scars…literally.

Let give you a little context of why he’s old those that know skip this. To start Logan powers are on a biological level,i can hear you saying what hell does that mean? Read on this, powers the likes of professor X don’t diminish over time his body will get weaker but powers are the same because its telekinesis it will always be there but with Logan the only way he gets older is that every 1o-15 years that pasted  Logan shows signs of aging by 1 year so he’s aging is slowed down and he’s being alive since 1832-2029 that’s 200 years alive fought The Civil War both WWI&WWII and The Cold War. Not only  is he old but imagine carrying in your body metal the healing factor is constantly fighting the metal poisoning every day to put it in context he got the adamantium since 1970’s. So to wrap it up as he ages his powers also age with him. if you want to know more about The Wolverine and his powers here a link Logan’s Healing Factor .

Now I know those that seen the movie are screaming why haven’t you talked about X-23 a.k.a Laura Kinney Wolverine’s daughter/female clone?!! That’s what this movie is all about I know you are surprised if you haven’t seen it or heard of this bear with me here. Long story short the Essex corporation had wolverine’s blood and infused it with this little girl and created a female version with two claws and one in each foot. Here’s the thing this evil corporation is hunting down her and others like her she was human and know she is man-made mutant with Wolverine’s blood running through her veins its makes her his daughter got the healing factor and adamantium claws just in the claws.

This is where the movie gets its plot you see after 200 years Logan is not only dying but he has lost so much in his life, friends, family, loved ones (several times) and to discover to have a daughter he does not want to be involved because everything precious to him has been taken away so it’s a constant battle between his responsibilities and not having to get hurt again. And this is where it gets personal you see him always with bruises all over him scars and fights until the end and goes out like champion. Hugh Jackman made this final portrayal the best he’s ever done but Dafne Keen (Laura Kinney) was unbelievably outstanding. The movie will play with like chew toy so be ready and enjoy one more time the *snikt* of the claws.
