Why watch this?
...it is a poignant finale for one of film's great super-hero personas.
Plot Summary:
In 2029, a worn-down Logan, aka Wolverine, cares for an ailing
Professor Charles Xavier in a secluded hideout near the Mexican
border. Their quiet existence is upended when a young mutant
girl, Laura, with powers akin to Logan's, seeks his protection
from pursuing dark forces. Reluctantly, Logan and Xavier embark
on a dangerous journey to escort Laura to a rumored safe haven
Dad's Preview:
Hugh Jackson did it the right way. He won the role of Marvel's
Wolverine and made it
his own. He respected the part, and never disappointed the fans.
This is a wonderfully violent send-off thanks to Jackson and
Patrick Stewart, reprising his role as Professor X. It started with them, and
should end with them. I'm sad to see him retire. I'll miss that
scowl. It was a great ride. Thank you, Hugh!
(Well, he's back in the new Deadpool film!)
