I wish they go into more details but yet i still need to spend like almost one hour after the movie to explain few stuff to my friends (they're not very familiar with the comic)... 
but anyway, they have 2 choices really to go into more details to satisfy the comic fans or to attract new ppl... 
they made their choice.
Nightcrawler was superb
Still no Gambit.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" /> 
  
that first scene with nightcrawler was possibly one of the coolest fight scenes i have ever seen.
i had to explain quite a bit to my boyfriend- who hadn't even seen the first movie, let alone know much about the characters!  
gambit has always been one of my favorites, too.  i did notice though- when mystique was looking through the computer files of mutants, the one name i caught  was remy lebeau.  so maybe next movie, we will have a gambit.  maybe they're too afraid to screw him up, since he's probably one of the most popular x-men.  they just better get the accent and the attitude right, or i'll be pissed.  and he better be cute, too.  <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />
