Long claws, a lot of gore, frequent f-bombs and lots of death, “Logan” is the final chapter of the badass superhero Wolverine, played brilliantly by Hugh Jackman.

Jackman portrays, in completely his own way, the struggles and triumphs of Wolverine, a.k.a. Logan, as a tough, ‘never-say-die’ man with unshakable morals. He does not fail to deliver in his last performance as Logan.

In “Logan,” fans of the Marvel hero get an entirely different look than previous Wolverine movies. From start to finish, Wolverine is no longer an undefeated, invincible immortal. Instead, he limps, he cusses, and he turns away from doing a good thing for someone in need. Even though he is eventually pulled into action once again, he makes his opinions clear and remains self-serving throughout.

The movie puts a new light on the X-Men, following the success of “Deadpool”, by making “Logan” rated R. Without onscreen limitations, fans are assaulted with an extremely dark, unhappy, ugly movie that uses a steady stream of special effects to convey Wolverine’s pain, bad attitude and desire to die. All of this is amidst the apparent turmoil and persecution of mutants, something Logan has decided to hide from, instead of fight.

Charles Xavier also makes another appearance, acting ultimately as the largely ignored good angel on Logan’s shoulder. Xavier is included in many plot twists, not all of them resulting in a happy ending.

Some fans may appreciate the send-off that Logan allows, and the movie makes yet another stunning display of fighting. The hardest part to watch is the little girl, with the same mutation as Logan. She ruthlessly cuts down grown men, walks away from fatal injuries and spends much of the movie bathed in the mix of her own, Logan’s, and their enemy’s blood.

Ultimately, the advertisements are right. This is not a movie to bring kids to, and longtime fans of the Marvel franchise are in for a very depressing show.

I rate the movie three and a half spurs.”
