I just saw the movie while in Gothenburg (Hey, PinA'sov! 
) and it was great. Same what you guys said.My issues:
- Comics-Rouge is at least 27, and was brought up by Mystique.
- I.T.C Mystique just has a blue toned skin, not all that slimy looking bikini-makeup. Sure, it looks really porny, but she originally had just blue skin, red hair, yellow eyes and CLOTHES!!
Fun Fact 1: Like Logan, nobody knows how old Mystique is, due to her shape-shifting abilities.
Fun Fact 2: Not too long ago in the Marvel universe all mutants on earth got stripped of their powers. Mystique, at the time doing some infiltration posing as someone important, "loses her face" and gets arrested by FBI, for a rap-sheet a mile long. When Rogue visits Mystique in prison, as her lawyer, Mystique is revealed to look kinda like Famke Janssen, but with blonder hair.
OK, back to my issues!
- Comics-Sabretooth is much more smarter/wittier and actually declared a psychopath and murderer. The movie-sabretooth seems as dumb as the hulk. In the movie, he actually got a comedy-piece, when he accidentally dropped senator kelly in the sea.
Fun Fact 3: For a long time everybody thought he was Logan's father, due to his saying so, until it was found that their DNA didn't match at all for them to be related.
- I didn't think Magneto looked good in his helmet. He should've had a little more matching suit, the helmet looked out-of-place in the cops-scene.
- I think it looked stupid for Cyclops to have to open and shut the "drapes" on his visor manually.
- In the comics, both Cyclops and Logan are telepathic too, and Jean wasn't that weak a telepath even if not a match for Xavier, but I understand how the movie benefits from the current configuration.
- I love the Toad-Character!!! He's actually better than the comic one (a real clown).
If anyone didn't know he was played by Ray Park, who also played Darth Maul. I think he hinted on that when playing with the stick that held the elevator open, twisting it around and posing in an authentic Kung Fu gesture. And when he landed on those cops, so funny!!!
- I too think Logan was the big hit of the movie, but somehow he wasn't quite as feral as I had hoped, he only emphasized on the animal-side when sniffing for scents. And in the endgame against Sabretooth, he yelled like Bruce Willis!!! More growling, please! Show more similarities to Sabretooth.
All in all, a great movie which I will definately see again, next week maybe.
