With Logan now going on it's fourth week in theaters, you are only doing yourself a disservice if you haven't seen it yet. Seriously what are you doing? Because this may have been Hugh Jackmans greatest performance as everyone's favorite Canadian and also his final for the franchise. That being said its not just the fact that Logan is the best of the X-men films or that it has to be one of the best comic book movies ever, its fact that in his final 135 mins as a X-man, Hugh Jackman has given one of his finest renditions we've seen as Logan issuing a challenge to all who dare try and take the mantle.
Since being casted as Logan back in 2000's X-men, Hugh Jackman has been synonymous with the iconic hero. In that time with disasters like Wolverine: Origins or X3 the love for Jackman as Wolverine has never faded but in fact has grown. His dedication to the role has shown time and time again and has made him arguably the most recognized actor in the comic book cinematic industry.
More so than Christopher Reeves's Superman or Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark, not many can picture anyone else playing this character. Coming in as a dark horse, an unknown entity, this could have gone down a very different route with actor Dougry Scott being cast as the original Wolverine, could have had many different faces but thanks to unfortunate accident on the set of MI:2 or maybe even the stars aligning, we will never have to experience what a calamity that could have been.
This movie is not just a farewell to Jackman but it is a love letter to the fans that have supported him. A homage to the role that gave him his break through as actor. Logan is more than just a good superhero movie and Hugh Jackman is more than just a great Wolverine. He has given us truly special in terms of cinema and for that we thank you because you have left us floored with our hearts in our hands.
