Ohh, the Dark Phoenix power effects worked for me... if anything, I found them a little understated. Dark Phoenix was a lot more wild in the comic book than her portrayal in the movie. Anyway, spoiler-font: Yes, I think the "cure" vaccine was wearing off at the end... I'm guessing it would require regular innoculations to keep it working, since it was in effect a "gene therapy" type of thing, using Leech's DNA to cancel out the mutant genes in the subject vaccinated.

Also, Xavier's little trick didn't surprise me at all, since he's done that or similar things several times in the comics. I also wouldn't be surprised to find out that Cyclops is still alive, since we didn't see a body. End spoiler!

It wasn't so much her powers as it was just the visuals on them, somehow. Yeah, I can see both those guys coming back in future movies. It seemed a particularly abrupt way to off Cyclops anyway. Oh, and Phoenix too... those people just don't die...
