I was also disappointed that Nightcrawler simply vanished, but I'm guessing his power made some parts of the plot too difficult to pull off without people wondering why he wasn't used.
Regarding mutant classifications, I'm fairly certain that Xavier and Magneto are both Level 4. Is it just me, or has this system never been mentioned before this movie? Unless, of course, it was in the comics at some point.
I had completely forgotten about that character re-appearing until you reminded me of that. I never made the connection until now. Another wall-crawler... how odd.
About the mutant levels: I cannot recall ever knowing of these from the comics, unless it was something added in the mid-90's, after I stopped reading.
And on a quick note, who here thinks that, if there is another movie, it will revolve around:
[SPOILER]The Proteus storyline that began right before the Dark Phoenix saga in the comics. You know, when Moira's son escapes and his power is to inhabit others' bodies to survive. The only twist is that Charles seems to be doing this in the movie, at the very end. So perhaps a Charles-as-Proteus twist? Hmm...[/SPOILER]
