Actually, I wouldn't mind a movie like that, if done correctly. I used to read Generation X, and I can picture something similar to it... I'd like to see more of Colossus, Icemans ice slid, The cure messing with mutant powers leading to Rogue gaining superstrength and flight, etc....Lets just hope its not like the cheap Generation X movie that Fox put out several years ago. Anyone Remember that? Where Emma Frost and Banshee led the X kids.... and Jubilee was caucasian and Mondo the samoan was black? lol... I'm sorry, I think some changes from comics to film are fine, but only to the extent where it doesn't piss the fans off too much... Maybe we nitpick a bit too much, but hey, we're the ones paying to see the movie multiple times.
Something I dont understand. Why does Steven Spielberg do movies like War of the Worlds and Minority Report, which to me were good but nothing too memorable.... and yet, we cant get a director like him, cameron(last film Aliens of the Deep? wtf), or George Lucas for x-men? Hell, they can even give us a Robert Zemeckis or Ron Howard! It's like they put together such a talented Award winning cast, they might as well give us an award winning director... No offense to Brett Ratner...
