This is the dark realism that this franchise has been waiting for. Too bad it's the final film for the best character. The only negative thoughts that I had about the movie was the overabundance of spanish dialogue. If you want some of the dialogue to remain a mystery, you can't use a language that half your audience speaks, and the other half doesn't. And if it's not a mystery, use subtitles. It was just annoying. Other than that, it was a really engaging movie. The action scenes were directed amazingly (maybe I just have low standards after the god awful directing of all the marvel movies), and the one thing that was always missing was finally added: blood. That may sound juvenile, but think about how stupid it is to show a man slice through another man's body without so much as a drop of blood coming out. It was what made any scene with wolverine inherently corny in all his other movies. It just looked stupid, like violence for kids. This was a movie for people who don't like being taken out of movies. No cheesy jokes, no stupidity. This was an easy one to get through.
And Stephen Merchant!
