I always thought Mystique seemed to be having fun being evil. Like a "muhahahaha" type villianess.
But her character isn't that in these movies so I dunno. I think it's more the new characterization that throws me.
The scene that really stands out for me is her and Erik in the phone booth from DOFP. Not to sound crass, but it needed more sex appeal. More like she was flirting with him. Like she'd either kiss him or slit his throat. I think she butchered that scene.
They also had some wierd tone on her Romijn's voice when blue, which I thought gave her a real gravitas and a powerful voice. They should have kept it IMO.
