For a 11 year film, there isn't much to be excited about. It wasn't exactly Christopher Nolan's Inception.
The Cyclops-Jean Grey shipping doesn't really lead to much other than for fan service and a human element to it. I suppose there may be a parallel with Rogue and her boyfriends too, but we'll see.
Sabretooth is more of a hitman than a fellow Project X member in this continuity, at least from what we know of. Gives him less depth. His design is updated though.
Rebecca Romjin was sort of the Emma Frost of this series, albeit I liked Emma Frost in X-Men: First Class. She was sort of a Deus Ex Machina that completely messes up the X-Men, despite the fact that Charles Xavier knows of her, which is made even worse now that they were apparently childhood friends. Shouldn't there be warnings that she's there or shouldn't Xavier be able to psychically notice that she's in the building?
It's a little weird that Senator Kelly is made sympathetic after his death after doing such a terrible thing to a people. But alas killing is wrong and Magneto is a madman.
But Magneto is sympathetic because of the causes of his sociopathy.
I really don't get why Famke Jansenn was cast as Jean Grey: she was the Bond Girl known for having sex with men till they died. She doesn't do that as the Phoenix. She's supposedly supposed to play a good girl. Why put her in this role?
