Watch Generation X For Free

Must See Movie...

Good movie but grossly overrated

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Yes, I know, this film was made for t.v. and was low budget, but it did have elements that I liked. Matt Frewer was wonderfully over the top as the bad guy; just dripping insane evil. He reminded me a lot of Cliff De Young's portrayal of Dr. Mallardo in the Robocop t.v. series - another show that got canned before it got into its stride. This isn't the best film set in the 'X' universe to ever come out. These characters are carried on from the X-Men comics and this film is more true to the comics than the three X-Men movies that have been released since. The characters are likable, and most men I'm sure appreciate Emma Frost's attire - those skin tight pants and bustier's don't leave much to the imagination. The students at Xavier's school - it's never explained where Charles Xavier himself is - all interact in a natural way with each other and their powers (Kurt's is rather reminiscent of Cylcops') are interesting without being overdone. They argue and fight and generally act exactly as teenagers would and have the normal teenage problems. Mostly, if you can get the past the somewhat cheesy effects and the rather lackluster in places script. then this is a good film to watch. I enjoyed it and I would buy it if someone would bother bringing it out on DVD.

OMG. i have been searching for this movie for years. i saw it when i was 12 on fox and taped it.. i have horrible luck so of course my father tapes over it.. LAME!! then the name of the movie was lost to me.. the other day i was watching dawn of the dead(also an amazing movie) when i see Matt frewer(frank)and the fist thing that pops into my head is that the doctor on that x-men movie. still not remembering the name.. thanks to the all knowing internet i now know the name of the movie and i have placed my bid to own it once again.. now i can have a piece of my childhood back and love it forever!!!! u have no idea how happy i am right now. down right gitty if i might say so myself!!!! =D

Though it is in no way as good as the latest X-Men movie, X2: X-MEN UNITED, GENRATION X is still good for being the first to star characters from Marvel's most influential comic line.To be made in 1996 and only for television, This movie does in no way fall into the same boat as the other attempt to bring Marvel to the small screen,FANTASTIC FOUR(1994?). I have to admit the special effects were cheesy and the acting could have been better, the movie was still good and the action was still compelling. I had the opportunity to read the comic not long after the movie premiered on FOXtv and it goes very well with the story and the characters are cool.If you have the opportunity to see this film, it will be worth your while. Enjoy.

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.
