The X-Men go X-rated: New superhero film is grisly and gory with lots of swearing, but Hugh Jackman as an ageing, alcoholic Wolverine..

To give an indication of how raddled Hugh Jackman looks at the start of his valedictory outing as Wolverine, the mutant superhero with retractable claws and intractable melancholia, he could easily pass for Mel Gibson after a really heavy night out.

That’s the first sign that this will be an X-Men film like no other. And so it proves, but mostly in a good way.

I should add that there is grislier, more graphic violence than usual, not to mention an awful lot of effing and blinding, making it more like an XXXX-Men film.
