Generation X

Quite frankly this Tv movie wasn't that bad. the actors did the best they could but it had such a terrible script. First off the whole concept of dream dimensions should have been thrown in the garbage. why can't writers just write a simple story? why do they have to complicate stories with some life altering philosophy? its superhero movie!! based on some pretty serious issuses (racism) so why try to fix something if its not broken?!!! The actors did a good job i think. some changes to the movie from the comic were understandable. i mean not every adaptation is always exact, come on lets be realistic. One thing though they should have mentioned the X-men in some point of the movie. thats all just drop a comment like well the owners of the house are away or Prof.Xaviar has left us in charge of you. or something referring to the X-men hell they're in their mansion!. Anyhow the actors weren't that bad, im sorry to hear that the entire cast from this movie has been scrapped and will be replaced with a new one. Oh well at least i was smart enough to tape it.

Compared to most comic-to-TV adaption, Generation X is...adequate. It doesn't rely on campiness (Batman/60's, the Justice League TV show pilot...). The main problem is that the writers don't seem to have much idea what they're doing. They opted for one big-name star (Frewer) and ended up with a bargain-basement Joker impersonation. The whole Dream Dimension plot is just stupid (even the characters acknowledge they're ripping off Freddy Krueger/Elm Street - not a good sign).

When the show sticks to the mutants themselves, it's pretty good. The school seems curiously understaffed, and in that huge mansion, why do six students have to sleep in two fairly small rooms? And the lack of budget shows, since the superheroics are mostly small-scale. Still, the cast is likeable enough, and it probably would have made a decent TV series if the ratings had been there.

I'm fairly lenient were it is concerned to comic to film productions, and with that in mind I enjoyed this film. I haven't seen it since 1996 (I taped over my recording), but I thought that it was pretty good. The characters weren't as close as one would like, but it was still really fun seeing the four-color characters brought to life.

It was on as a late-night movie where I live about eight months ago and I watched and enjoyed it again. Heather McComb was a standout as Jubilee. Hey, I didn't even have to look at the cast list to remember her name. Neato.

It wasn't anything to write home about, but it was at least a fun adaptation. I mean, how many comics have been made into films anyway. Gen X fans should be proud.

Have a good day then.

Warning guys! Hey, the following is just my opinion. To the makers of this film, don't get offended. This is just my opinion. I liked your movie, anyway.

The movie was about the star of Generation X with Emma Frost and Sean Cassidy as headmasters of the Xavier's School for Gifted Younsters. In the story, Angelo Espinosa and Jubilation Lee were being recruited by the headmasters. In school, they then meet the rest of the kids, M, Mondo, Buff, & Refrax. Typically, not all students get along. The movie showed the life of the kids in and out of school. Then later, they battle against Russell Tresh. After some twists and thrills, Generation X won the battle against Tresh.

I saw that TV movie from way back. They didn't follow the storyline, they added two characters (who aren't even in the comics), failed to include Penance, Chamber, Paige, Synch. Speaking as a BIG fan of Gen X, that was so appalling. Speaking as a BIG fan who wants a Gen X Movie, that was quite OK. I loved the movie in a way because there is no real Gen X movie. The cast just don't look like the comic book characters. Anyone would totally agree with me. But all in all, it was just OK.

not too bad a film it compared favourably in my mind with 2002's X Men but much more interesting. I really enjoyed it the first time I saw it but it wasnt memorable. Being a big Sci-Fi fan i watch all Sci-Fi movies when shown on TV and could not remember if i had seen this one till about five minutes in but stuck with and enjoyed it.
