THE STORY :
In 2029, Logan (Hugh Jackman), who has aged greatly when his healing factor began to falter over the years, spends his days working as a chauffeur and hustling for prescription drugs in Texas. He and Caliban (Stephen Merchant) live in an abandoned farm across the border in Mexico, where they care for a senile Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart), who had inadvertently killed several of his X-Men in a seizure-induced psychic attack one year earlier. Logan is approached by Gabriela (Elizabeth Rodriguez), a nurse for Transigen who asks him to escort her and an 11-year-old girl named Laura (Dafne Keen) to a place in North Dakota called 'Eden'.

OUR REVIEW
For fans who are intimately versed in the franchise´s playbook, this last chapter should prove emotionally satisfying, James Mangold turning it into a neo-Western road trip through the heartland. The screenplay written by Scott Frank, Mangold and Michael Green makes themes matter through attention to the intensifying bonds within the central surrogate family.
We could notice that 'Logan' is the third-longest running superhero cinematic franchise in history, behind only 'Superman' and 'Batman', and is the longest running 'continuing storyline' superhero franchise of all time.

Hugh Jackman has portrayed Wolverine more times on the big screen than any other actor has portrayed any superhero in feature films. Logan is the most beautifully rendered film in the X-Men franchise, and the most visually unique of the bunch. This isn't violence for violence's sake, nor is it a cheap appeal to that segment of audiences who want graphic violence and profanity. This is easily Jackman's greatest performance as Wolverine, allowing him to delve deeper into the persona than any previous film....
