I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Absolutely the worst movie.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

I remember, several times, asking if other people had seen this movie. Thankfull, nobody said they had. It's like it was just a bad dream that a few people in my family had. Where they took the premise for the X Men comics, half the ideas and scenes from the cartoon, and used the characters from the X Men Spin off and made Generation X into a made for TV movie.The plot involved a powerful machine that let you have power over dreams, but had an addictive quality. And there was an evil man played by a normally good actor who ruined his performance by thinking he's Jim Carrey. And even though it was only two hours long, it seemed like I was in purgatory.I saw Skin and Jubilee given the major parts, while Banshee flirted moronically with Emma Frost. But non of the dialog seemed to go together, and existed only for the sake of showing "This is what the people in Generation X" say. It didn't have to be.And for years, I waited patiently for the announced spin off series. Perhaps they could atone for the sins of the pilot film. Alas, it never happened, and I believed it to be just a horrible dream I wish it was. I wish this movie never existed. I wish it was nothing more then a bad memory. But it's a bad movie that lives on in the form of VHS.0/****

This movie is actually about the youngest group of the X-Men. Those of you that have not read the comic book Generation X will have no idea of that though. Generation X is simply put The juvenile X-Men that were sent to a different building for training on the same school grounds as Wolverine and Cylops. But, until they prove themselves to the leaders of the group, the X-Men's Banshee and Emma Frost, they will not truly become X-men. And Wolverine's little buddy Jubillee is there too.All and all the movie is about what you would expect for something that was made for TV, you can tell they had like no budget, and that the story was weak, but for long time fans of comic books, you will probably like it. Now, if only I could get it on DVD, but then that would severely conflict with the X-Men movies they are making now, being that as it may, if you enjoy the old comic book movies like Captain America, The Punisher, and stuff like that, then you may very well enjoy this one

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 will not give a summary of the movie, but rather my opinion: it is really unbelievable they ever thought of making this into a movie... I like the X-men etc, but this really sucked. Bad dialog, entirely stupid surroundings. I think they tried to hard to make it look like a comic-style, while motion picture has its own unique ways of story-telling. I have to admit that I, because of these 'glitches' enjoyed this movie intensely...
