See, I saw the "what have I done?" more as "shit, I pissed them off enough that they did this, and now I have to live like this." He didn't regret doing what he'd done, he just regretted the consequences for himself. He drove them to this level; now he has to watch from the outside. His life is over, but he's still alive. And it's partly his fault.
My boyfriend was also disappointed by the lack of Colossus. But then, he also wanted Gambit. :-)
And I think having the kid stop Jean would have felt like a deus ex machina. Picture it: Wolverine, stumbling toward Jean, trying to get her to stop any way he can. It'd kill him to kill her, though, and he gives her an agonized look ... And then the claws retract, the destruction stops, and Leech looks at her in that Hayley Joel Osment kind of way (NB: I love the kid; he was amazing in Thank You For Smoking) and it's a Moment. Jean collapses, though, still dies, and Wolverine is just angry. I like the way they did it in the movie; it makes for a stronger development for Wolverine.
See, I'm hearing bad things about Superman Returns (not that I care much, never having seen the originals and always being a Batman girl anyway), which begs the question: would you rather have one amazing movie and one crappy one, or two decent-ish ones?
And to end this on a friendly note, I had my first Internet fanfic writer moment during the Iceman/Pyro fight, when I thought "OMG slash!" And then I kicked myself a little, and decided that balanced out when he was comforting both Rogue and Kitty at the funeral and I thought "It's hard out here for a pimp." (Speaking of which, WTF at Rogue?)
