Personally, my favorite X-Men adaptation is still the early '90s Fox cartoon, but I liked the movie, and the casting's looking good. Looks like Halle Berry's Oscar means they might actually bother to write a part for Storm this time. And Alan Cumming is a perfect Nightcrawler.

Best of all, looks like this new movie is placing Magneto, the most complex character in the X-Universe, right where he belongs... on the fuzzy line between good and evil.

But... still no Gambit? (ducking things thrown by metaphorge and yendi...)

Alan Cumming as Nightcrawler? Dig it. I love his work and he looks a lot like Nightcrawler from the get-go. Except, you know, for that blue skin and tail thing.

Kelly Hu as Lady Deathstrike? Read only five or six lines to get the part, doesn't know a thing about the comic, and doesn't know why she got the part? *That* makes me nervous.

No Sabretooth? Damn.
