X-men Origins review (Warning Spoilers)

I recently saw X-men Origins. A great movie, but there were a few flaws, first off it seriously lacked the... physical mutation factor that many fans have come to love, next thing was I really would have preferred seeing a different character instead of Zero as Strikers right hand, say Domino perhaps... On that note they used a lot of lesser known characters in the movie, majority of whom you would have to be a long term Marvel fan to know.
I would like to point out if they were going to use as many lesser known characters as they did, they should have most definitely developed them more. thus why I said they should have used more widely known characters.
They also lacked the feminine brutality that X-men females bring to the table, (Given Silver Fox (Lynn Collins) is one of the softer feminine personality's)
There were two really great actors for that movie, Hue Jackman (Wolverine) and Taylor Kitsch (Gambit) They both had apparently done a ton of research on their characters, both were dead on with the persona of their characters and the action/ reaction in the scenarios between their characters. Lynn Collins also apparently did her share of research, and I was over all thrilled at her perform ace as well. The down fall was I felt that the other actors didn't... meet the standard. There for made the Persona equation unbalanced.
I would have also liked to have seen Death pool ramble on a lot more and a lot faster in the back ground during the beginning of the movie, it would have helped some newer fans to get and despise him a little more, and identify him to the old and ancient hands in the Marvel fan base (also would have made Logan look less like a short fuse in the plane seen) and over all would have made the ending all that much better.
I liked the ending but like I said the for play could have been better.
