The one area where I thought the movie ****ed up, and not even in a movie-related sense but in a financial sense, was a lack of recognizable characters. Specifically, Azazel, Angel Salvadore, and Darwin. Even Riptide was pushing it a little but at least he's been in the comics forever. Most people know the X-Men either from the cartoons, the original movies, the video games, or the comics from the late 70's through the 90's. These are all new, obscure characters. Azazel has been in something like, 14 issues. There were many other characters they could have used that would be more recognizable, hence the movie doing better at the box office (again, this is all financial/marketing criticism, the movie was awesome). Dazzler and Sunfire or Thunderbird could have filled the Angel and Darwin roles and Azazel could've been replaced with Avalanche, Blockbuster, Locus, Astra, Harpoon, etc.

but Azazel just seemed like a red bastard version of Nightcrawler if you ask me.

Did any one grab the blu ray yet? It was great but there was one thing wrong with it. Initially I thought it was my tv but when I looked at the download one it was still there. When magneto was in Argentina in the bar where he kills those 3 guys the sun is setting and it creates a couple of times where u can see a big purple line across the whole scene. It's quite bad.

this movie was the best of the x-movies! i could pick through this one and mention things that are different from the books but i dont want to......

maybe it was because magneto was so awesome or because i loved his helmet. all i know is Havok&Banshee were the only true disappointments to me.....Banshee wasn't Scottish and i wanted to see full on havok fist blasts....

also i have one question.....why was "Darwin" not called evolving man?

Give Havok another film to perfect a fist blast; it took almost all this film to learn how to fire with some direction just from his chest plate.

I haven't seen that on my blu-ray copy. But there is a shot when Xavier and Alex are walking through the bomb shelter turned practice range at the mansion, and some strange lens flare creates these small, vertical blue lines that hang in the air as the camera dollies back - but they are gone by the time they cut to the next shot. Otherwise, everything looks great.
