Why so much anticipation? First of all, of course, because this is Hugh Jackman's last Wolverine movie, from X-Man in 2000 to today's Logan, for 17 years, Hugh Jackman is Wolverine in everyone's eyes, and it is also a matter of reluctance to part.
Second, unlike previous X-Men films, Logan is the only R-rated, Hong Kong-III-rated film, making it the most depressing, violent, and bloody film in the series. (And the most touching one, you can definitely see crying in IMAX theaters, and the visual impact is top-notch.)
Third, Logan has become the highest rated X-Men film since its Berlin Film Festival premiere, of course 3 It remains to be seen whether there will be more one-sided positive reviews or half-and-half after its North American release on March 3.

---------- Spoiler dividing line----------

Unable to stop the loss of time, Wolverine's self-healing ability is greatly reduced, showing fatigue; Professor X is also getting old and suffering from epilepsy.

In order to avoid the fate of being imprisoned, Wolverine took Professor X to hide in an abandoned water tower next to a railway in Mexico. It was also to buy medicine for Professor X. Wolverine used a luxury car. Drivers make a living. However, it is this low-key state that can no longer be low-key, and still attracts a group of bounty hunters, and the target of the bounty hunters is Lola who escaped from the secret experimental base, that is, X-23, a man born with Wolverine genes. Out of the murder weapon.
---------- The dividing line at the end of the spoiler----------
For this film, if you are looking forward to a pure fighting story similar to the previous Wolverines, then I guess you want to disappointed. Although rated R, Logan is definitely a film that digs deeply into emotion and humanity. Aside from the background of mutants, this film is a story of a father and a daughter recognizing each other and deepening their feelings. From the beginning of Wolverine's denial and escaping to the end of the constant concern for Lola, until the last moment of life, Lola's "Dad" is all moving.
The style of the film is very western, which also makes a good foreshadowing for a series of bloody and brutal fighting scenes. Johnny Cash's Hurt has created a kind of tragic and epic sense. The effect of this extreme contrast can only be used shocking. To describe it, you can already see it from the trailer.
Although Wolverine's departure is tragic, it leads to another character in the X-Men comics: X-23. It is estimated that the story of X-23 should continue to be seen in the next movie X-Force.
Highlights:
1. The petite Lola is actually a killing weapon born in a secret experimental base with super combat power. Her fighting scenes are definitely not inferior to Dad Wolverine. One of the bloodiest episodes was eating cereal and waiting for the enemy, and in the end, he fought back a bunch of big and three rough bounty hunters, and even twisted a head with his bare hands and threw it in front of the leader. (This is a close-up shot, so the domestic version is estimated to be cut for 3 to 5 seconds here)
2. The chasing scene of Wolverine driving a luxury car by the train can only be described as life hanging by a thread and "This is okay?!!!!".
3. The film references a classic western film "The Wild Man" (Shane 1953), and the plot echoes the plot of the film.
4. Professor X's epileptic seizure is actually a very powerful weapon. The director's way of expressing this part of the plot is very mature and real, even giving people the illusion of being unable to move. He also successfully helped Wolverine assassinate the second wave of bounty hunters.
5. In addition to the X-23, the secret experimental base has also developed the most successful murder weapon: the cloned Wolverine. His shape design is the same as Wolverine's original image, so he deceived Professor X when he just appeared. His fighting ability is on par with Wolverine, so the fight scenes between them are also breath-taking.
6. When Lola fled to the US-Canada border, she joined a group of mutants who also escaped from the experimental base. At the end of the film, they showed their different skills. Are they members of X-Force?
7. After burying Wolverine, Lola turned the cross down into an "X", foreshadowing the continuation of the mutant story, and possibly the X-Force's upcoming team up for the next Marvel movie.
8. Of course, as Wolverine's finale, there's no post-credit scene.
