Everytime comic fans talk about the movie versions of comic books they always think there could have been a better way to d something or someone who wasn't in the movie who would have been perfect. How would you have changed any comic book movie you've seen? This doesn't mean you don't like them how they were made, it just means you think they could have been done better.
First I'll talk about X-Men. I don't really have problem with the story in X-men but I have a couple with the cast. First they should have gotten a Southern woman (or someone who can do a good accent) to play Rogue, someone good looking would have helped too. And while I think, on their own, Cyclops and Jean Grey were cast very well, when the two are together Famke Janssen looks older then James Marsden (Janssen looks to be in her early/mid 30's while Marsden looks to be in his 20's). One of them should have been re-cast to loo more the age of the other, personally I would have kepted Marsden and cast someone like Ashley Judd (for example) as Jean Grey. Sabretooth was also poorly cast (and writen). He should have been smaller and smarter. Sabretooth isn't this big idiot who just walks around growling. The only other problemI had with X-Men was Mystique killing Wolverines ### (not I'm a crazied wolverine fan who thinks no one should ever kick his ### - I was fine with Sabretooth doing it, I'm fine with Lady Death Strike doing it in X2) but Mystique isn't a good close combat person and has NEVER killed Wolverines ### before. I hated that scene, makings it look like EVERYONE is better then he is.
