There is no Wolverine

This time, I really want to say goodbye.

At the end of the movie, Wolverine was killed by a copy of himself and fell in the woods. The new mutant girl with her own genes cried into tears. At the last parting, the little girl tilted the tombstone in front of Wolverine’s humble grave. When you put it down, the "cross" tombstone becomes an "X" shape, which is self-evident.

There is no Wolverine in the world, and an era belonging to the X-Men suddenly passed away. This is the last time Hugh Jackman played Wolverine. It is estimated that in the next few years, there will probably not be a new Wolverine on the movie screen. Although there are many stories to dig out, the situation dictates that, Hugh Jackman is getting old, his physical condition is no longer suitable for the role of Wolverine, and his interests are no longer there. The viewers who were engulfed by feelings probably couldn't accept the new Wolverine who changed to another actor in a short time.

From 1999 to 2017, 18 years, Wolverine appeared in the movie world for the first time, and now the curtain call, this road has been destined from the beginning. Off the screen, it is an indisputable fact that Hugh Jackman is getting old. The time is up. Since it can't be done again, the last story on the screen, it's better to say goodbye.

Although, no matter from which point of view "Wolverine 3" is viewed, it is always cruel. The movie is ubiquitous and embodies the sense of failure and death. This is the last time, the mutants are almost extinct, and they suffer from Alzheimer's. Professor X, who is ill, can only rely on drugs to control himself from getting sick; the old and frail Wolverine has lost his bloody nature. It does not look like a superhero movie at all, but it is this cruel feeling that is the medium that people need for the soft part of their hearts.

For the X-Men series and the Wolverine series, I don’t have much empathy. After all, I don’t see many related movies, but I can probably appreciate the feeling that there is no Wolverine style in the world. It's a bit intolerable after all, like an object that grew up with you is no longer found.

If you ask me, what do you think of Wolverine 3? I would say that this film is probably to give Wolverine to Hugh Jackman and also give the audience the final and best farewell. If there is any regret? Probably it was Wolverine’s last passing away, a bit less tragic. In my opinion, Wolverine’s ending is either really like ordinary people, dying quietly in the warm sunshine, or regaining the courage of the old days, in the sky with the villain. He swallowed his last breath in the bloody killing. That's good.

However, for ordinary viewers, if you have never watched the "Wolverine" series before, and know very little about X-Men related stories, probably watching "Wolverine 3" will not be such a pleasant thing. The mood of the movie is greater than the narrative, and the story is too dependent on the accumulation of the previous series. If there are not a few movies, it will be a little tired to watch this.

In the film, the little girl with the new mutant is very playful. On the one hand, Lori is cute, and on the other hand, she doesn't blink. As the successor of Wolverine, this role is pleasing enough. If the story of the X-Men continues, the little girl’s performance in "Wolverine 3" has taken on this continuation well.

Some people get old and some are reborn, and there is no such thing as a Wolverine in the world.
