It just reminds me of how Spiderman kinda just squirted out webbing, rather than making cartridges. It messes with too broad of an area, methinks.

Considering the amount of X-Men mythos that Singer has managed to squeeze into 2 movies, you guys should be grateful. There will always be differences in movies and the literature they are based on. The logistics and processes between the 2 mediums are just too great.
Also, to pick on Spiderman because of the l;ack of cartridges is silly. Truthdully, its the cartridges that don't make sense in the real world, which is the world that movie makers have to put you in. Besides, Spiderman was faithful to the comic to a flaw (wrestling event).
Movies have a smaller amount of lenience when it comes to suspension of dispbelief. Moviegoers will scoff at unbelieveable plotlines more than comic fans. Example: In order for the movie to remain true to the comic with Pheonix, you have toi do several things:
1)Somehow get the X-Men to the blue area of the moon.
2) Explain all the relics in the blue area of the moon.
3) Basically narrate the history of the Marvel universe.
Bryan Singer has a hard job. He has to be true to the comic, but avoid the rest fo the Marvel universe as its too cumbersome for the films. Example: Rogue. Do we really want to get into the whole Ms. Marvel thing?
My advice. Just sit down and enjoy the movie without referencing your Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe.
