Mmmm... Rachel Summers... leather and spikes.
OK, just finally saw this last night and feel highly disappointed.
Killing Scott felt like "Ok, he has to be in the movie, but we really hate James Marsden, so let's kill his butt off quick".
No Phoenix Effect, especially during the Wolverine flesh-peeling sequence, made Aban mad. I kept whispering, "Light her up... light her the heck up"
I didn't like the brevity with which Mystique's abandonment or Magneto's powerless surrender was dealt. Both should have been much more complex, though I did like seeing Rebecca in the flesh. Nice.
Kitty was cool, and the casting didn't bother me too much. Was she the same chick who played her for two seconds in the last one?
Peter's Russian. This guy was not. I dug it, though, when Peter slapped his hand on Rouge's head and Colosofied her for a second in the Danger Room. That was neat.
The Sentinel did NOT look cool.
I loved seeing Angel, but it felt like the only reason to have in the story was to introduce the Worthington's. And for some reason, the guy's body position while he was flying didn't look that cool.
OK... I didn't stay until the end of the credits, but I think I'm going to make that my blanket policy from now on. What happened?

Ahhh that was Rogue... I wondered if that was one of Colossus's powers to make other things metal... but that was Rogue sucking the powers from him.
So what can rogue actually do in a fighting situation!?!
It'd be funny if they used her to incapacitate Jean Grey of her full on powers!

In the movies, it doesn't seem like Rouge could do much as an offensive player. She's probably be held in reserve to perform a function like Beast did with Magneto: to incapacitate a key player making him vulnerable to attack.
In the comics, Rougue has permantly absorbed the powers of Ms. Marvel (I believe) and is a nigh-indestructible tank that can fly and generally kick lots of butt. At least she was last time I read.
