I mean I would have loved to have seen Wolverine fight the future Sentinels. A death scene like the comics would have been perfect. I do however understand why they chose not to go that route. Despite the opening battle not having the "A Listers", it's still one of my favorite parts of the film.
Again I think they wanted to avoid having Wolverine, Xavier, or Magneto die. One of the reasons I loved the comic was for the fact that our heroes died giving it their all. From the reactions from some viewers that "Colossus got punked" or "Sunspot was weak", I feel like more popular characters getting smashed would not have been well received.
Also escape should be impossible. That's why Kitty's group had to bite the bullet and resurrect themselves via time travel. And it was not all unknowns in the intro. We knew Bobby and Kitty. Colossus possibly familiar as well.
I would have liked to have seen a little more from the final battle.
Magneto and Storm got taken out right after using the X-Jet as a weapon. I mean couldn't have Magneto done his part behind some kind of barricade? He left the battle because he was injured by shrapnel. Storm had limited time apparently but couldn't they have filmed 1 scene where she shoots some lighting at a Sentinel? Then we have Iceman held up in the temple. We know the real reason he's there is because his death was supposed to happen earlier in the film but it still seems odd the way it was handled. It still seems like they could have filmed him outside facing off against CGI villains.
Nice ideas, but I can understand why they left Iceman inside the temple as a last defense. Prof X wouldn't have the smallest of chance delaying the Sentinels reaching Kitty and Wolverine.
It would have been cool to have Storm surviving the battle a little bit longer, but she did attack the Sentinels in probably the best strategical way she could (considering the circumstances) in my opinion.
I also hoped she would unleash one final Storm after she gets stabbed, taking down some of the Sentinels with her but that would've been too dramatic I think.
