Storyline;
In 2029 the
mutant population has shrunk significantly and the X-Men have disbanded. Logan,
whose power to self-heal is dwindling, has surrendered himself to alcohol and
now earns a living as a chauffeur. He takes care of the ailing old Professor X
whom he keeps hidden away. One day, a female stranger asks Logan to drive a
girl named Laura to the Canadian border. At first he refuses, but the Professor
has been waiting for a long time for her to appear. Laura possesses an
extraordinary fighting prowess and is in many ways like Wolverine. She is
pursued by sinister figures working for a powerful corporation; this is because
her DNA contains the secret that connects her to Logan. A relentless pursuit
begins - In this third cinematic outing featuring the Marvel comic book
character Wolverine we see the superheroes beset by everyday problems. They are
ageing, ailing and struggling to survive financially
Thoughts;
My husband wanted to see this movie very badly. We finally
got to. We’ve seen them all and so far they’ve all been pretty good.
First off, I’m sorry, but this movie was way too long. I get
it, I really do. I get the need to get everything in one movie vs. doing
another, but anything over 2 hours for me is just too much.
Logan is a limo driver in this movie, he is living with
another mutant and together they are taking care of a sick Professor X, who is
confined to a water tower. While working a woman calls to Logan begging for
help. He tells her that he won’t help her, to go away. Later we learn that she
was seeking his help as she is in the care of a young mutant who has the same
mutation as Logan, turns out, yep, it’s his daughter. She herself is pretty
badass, taking down bad guys like a pro. He finds the woman dead and ends up
with Laura, the young mutant at his house, Professor X has been communication
telepathically with her. He knows.
The bad guys come and take Caliban as he is a tracker, Logan,
Laura and Professor X get away. They go on a journey to help Laura reach a safe
place, where the other escaped mutant kids went. Of course along the way,
things happen, the bad guys catch up to them a few times, people end up dead,
including Professor X. When they finally reach the place with the other
children, Laura seems happy but Logan is dying.
The last epic fight is in the woods with Logan trying to save
the children, he dies and the movie ends.
