Generation X

I always wondered when a thread would get started on this. It wasn't horrible, I actually remember liking it. I have it on VHS somewhere around here, and wouldn't mind watching it again.

I didn't like the focus so much on Skin...but Jubliee wasn't that bad. Emma Frost was much better as a leader than Banshee, I feel like they could've cast someone else.
 
I have it on VHS( shhhhh i will deny it if you guys tell).
I remember taping it cause at the time i wanted to see... ahem what costume the White Queen would wear and it was bad. Up there with all those incredible Hulk tv movies.The Mutants who hated being discriminated against were discriminating against Skin.The dude that played Max Headroom( Matt Fewer or something like that) was the bad guy.... and above all else Banshee didn't have his yellow and green armpit glider membranes. I was bummed about that.It was totally cheeseball.

The White Queen costume was ok...w/o the jacket like in the few promo pics there were, also to me her hair was better than Storm's in X1...........being the headmasters/teachers I didn't mind Banshee not having a uniform/costume of any sort...I was more upset that only one character got to wear the gen x uniform...and it was at the very end of the film wasn't it? not only that but it was one of the original characters not one of the established comic characters...

Funny thing...Mondo never uses his powers

It wasn't the best but I thought it was okay...:csad:

but would it have been so hard to hire a "blonde" actress to be the white queen?!! i mean that is without a doubt the stupidest thing that hollywood does.

man. i love Banshee and even though the dude that played him did a okay job we couldn't get one scene of him in that outfit? He's one of the few dudes that make green and yellow work

:csad:
yeah at the very end i forget the blonde chick name, comes thru the door after banshee and Queenie announces that these are your new school uniforms and then it goes off. to me it was your basically dumbed down TV version of comic book heroes. That's why i am not really partial to established heroes coming to tv. everybody wants to change something way out there like black canary carrying knives on Smallville. if its not broke dont fix it

Did M ever use her powers...??? Except for Mondo I think he actually just says what his powers are...I remember all the other characters using them at least once?...

M used her strength powers. Mondo used his powers too - he made his skin hard as rock, I think.

I remember the film being bad, but there were a few characters that were done right, and the mutant power effects were good for their time.

The villain was just horrible though.

It was at a carnival or fair type thing wasn't it...
 
I remember watching this movie when I was a kid simultaniously loving and hating it at the same time. I was completely confused because I didn't realize that Emma was anything more than a villian (all I had been exposed to from her was TAS) so I didn't know why she would be there. I knew who Banshee was vaguely but not really and Jubilee cuacasion? I just never got that.
