What really didn't work for me was the lack of interraction between Phoenix and the rest of the X-Men. The majority of her points of contact in the team didn't survive the experience--and everyone else she had a relationship with didn't get any screentime with her.
It would've been nice to see Storm and Jean have at least some interraction--afterall, the prior films showed them as close comrades.
I can't believe you just said that. Jean and Storm had no realationship outside of being co-workers who lived in the same building. The only time in the entire trilogy they had together was the 15 minute super sonic flight to Boston, where only X-men stuff was on the menu. I'm sure if other things had come up one of them may have been, "Keep all orifices shut around the Hairy Machismo. If you don't, you will look more and more scanky."
What, I can dream can't I?

More on topic. I think something small that was in the early comics, and simple that would have shown the duality much better between Jean and Phoenix would have been the mirror thing.
Remember Jean looking in on Phoenix (on fire) in the mirror, telling her to do bad things, just because she can. Ooo that would have been awesome. That's another thing I missed. Where was the devilish spunky Phoenix with the attitude of a school yard bully? There could have been some hilariously cruel scenes with her and some great one liners.
