Logan (2017), directed by James Mangold, is a raw, emotional, and gritty farewell to one of the most iconic comic book characters, Wolverine. Set in the near future, the film follows an aging and deteriorating Logan (Hugh Jackman), who has become a shadow of his former self. The world has changed, mutants are on the brink of extinction, and Logan is struggling with his own inner demons and the loss of his powers.

The plot kicks off when Logan is tasked with caring for an ill Professor X (Patrick Stewart), who is suffering from a neurodegenerative disease that makes his powerful mind unstable. When a young mutant named Laura (Dafne Keen) shows up on their doorstep, Logan’s life takes an unexpected turn as he becomes her protector in a brutal world that’s out to destroy her.

Logan is a dark and brutal departure from the typical superhero film, with a tone that feels more like a Western than a traditional comic book story. The film’s emotional depth and character-driven narrative set it apart from other entries in the X-Men franchise. Jackman delivers an unforgettable performance as a worn-out Logan, and Dafne Keen is a revelation as Laura, bringing intensity and vulnerability to her role.

The film’s themes of redemption, legacy, and loss are explored in a way that resonates long after the credits roll. With its raw action, emotional stakes, and superb performances, Logan is not just a superhero movie — it’s a powerful and poignant reflection on the cost of heroism.

Verdict: A powerful, emotionally charged conclusion to Logan’s journey — heartbreaking, violent, and unforgettable.
