Honestly I dont see the hype behind Jackman as Wolverine. He has his moments, but especially in the first three movies it's as clear as day that the movies were intentionally making Wolverine the central character when it was honestly just an awkward attempt at forcing a character. Thus, every movie has the need to make Wolverine the central, or at least a main character.
I like Hugh Jackman, I like him as Wolverine, but I would not go as far to say that he is the quintessential Wolverine. He was just forced into the spotlight and has never had it removed from the character. Im glad this is the final film with Wolverine in it (though a cameo/side role in a Deadpool film would be welcomed).
