On July 14, 2000, the very first X-Men movie hit theaters. That was the first time we saw the then 31-year-old portray arguably the most iconic mutant: Logan, better known as the Wolverine. Jump ahead 17 years and seven movies later, Jackman puts on the claws one last time and bids adieu to the character in Logan.
Logan is less a superhero flick and more of a pseudo-Western. Over the top action and cliche superhero tropes are instead replaced with a dramatic, character driven story. There’s action, sure (boy is there ever action; I’m not telling you how to raise your kids but please don’t take your kids), and characters with superpowers, but that’s not the point of Logan.
