I agree with all of this! Ever so much. Green Lantern seemed like a write off movie. Despite the budget and marketing that went into it, it was more like "Well, we'll just throw this out there." And they cut John's cameo. :\
Although, as for the choices of students...I can't speak for Darwin or Angel (both of their portrayals angered me because they were the only POC in the movie and one became evil and the other DIED) but Havok is trying to be shoehorned in as Cyclops's dad--yeah, I don't know either--and I think Banshee was included because Singer kept having Siryn making cameos in the first couple of movies so either he wanted to tie him into her or just really likes that powerset.
