She was given no personality to speak of, she just sort of stands around most of the time.
One of the people I saw it with hated Jean/Dark Phoenix in the comics, so they felt that was very accurate. :-)
As for why he's so in love with her...you're right that there isn't much of an explanation given. But they seemed to want to pair him off with someone in doomed romance and they can't do it with Rogue and Halle Berry and Hugh Jackman manage to have negative chemistry, so unless they want to go the slash route, they're a bit stuck. I think what sold me on it was less anything written, but I thought the two of them were smoking hot together on screen.
But mainly I enjoyed the Wolverine fights. And wished that Phoenix's powers had extended to taking his trousers off in the final scene. Just in the interest of scientific probability, mind you.
