"True" fans of the comic will come to the realization and disappointment of it all when they see this movie. Sorry to all the people who love it but:
PROBLEMS SEEN BY AN OLD SCHOOLER:
It is as if whoever directed the movie was just trying to put anybody in the movie and make them a mutant without credibility just to "have a lot of mutants in the movie".
More name brand recognizable bad mutants should have been there such as the Blob, Avalance, Psylock (good/bad), The Hellfire Club,
Rogue (no factor?), Cyclops (no factor?),
Colossus and The Iceman (Only showing a couple of seconds in their steel and ice forms ??? You may as well not even show it!!!!),
Phoenix ??? They could have at least given her a little psionic phoenix fire,,, If they can get the torch and Ghost Rider right they should have been able to give her a couple of spots in her "full Phoenix Glory"
Phoenix following Magneto in the first place??? He doesn't have the mind control to have her follow him like some of the others have done in the comics ,, she would have obliterated him from the start
Phoenix killing Scott??? They were always known to have a psychic connection, In the comics she may have hurt him but her inner mind would not let her kill him that easily
No battle between Juggernaut and Colossus ???, Take away the 30 second fight with wolverine and all Juggernaut does is run through some walls???
Killing off Professor X/Jean/Cyclops and Magneto's power so early in the series (regardless of the hints they give you indicating a part 4),
The Angel was a waste of time on the screen
The Beast was too serious instead of hiding his sorrow behind humor/jokes/amusement like originally in the comics
They should have kept Mystique, Wolverine can't be in his old "beserker rage" mode of trying to "slash" everybody in battle yet talks methodical and loving throughout the movie.
It doesn't take a lot to stay true to the comics a little, Come on Stan Lee (Seeing how close a movie relates to the comic is what people want to see , you got some influence here) "THE SPIDERMAN MOVIES" showed that you can stay extremely close to the comics and get it right and everyone will appreciate it !!!!!
Come on !!!!!!
Personally, The Ghost Rider Movie I saw on the previews seems to be a lot truer to the comic from what I saw -- It looked marvelous
