Well she's 66 years old Storm isn't that old.

Or Angela Bassett, plus she was a way better actor than Halle

@fforde
For realshe had a tendency to do thatthat's what made her so much fun to watch, anyway!

When she was young, yes, I think she's a bit old for the role. Also she would devour the screen and nobody else would be paid attention to, she has so much presence.

Vanity was beautiful but I don't think she could have done Storm - first of all, her acting stinks, she's also a little too "pretty and soft" to come across as a goddess.
I agree with others that Iman would have been perfect That face, the voice, the hair etc.

If it were made in the 80's. look no farther than Iman she was perfect. Another one that would have made a truly beautiful Storm would be Vanity.

yeah, and next to her all those guys would look like bunch of sissies, which they are already

I can't see her as Storm. Maybe Angela Bassett or Vanessa Williams (the light-skinned one) but Grace? Naw. Can't see it. If she had any acting skills, I would've said Iman because she and Angela bear the closest resemblance to Storm.

I agree about Iman, Stotm was supposed to be beautiful and Grace's looks are largely debated

Everyone is always talking about Angela Bassett for the role of Storm, I think the perfect woman in her heyday would have been the model Iman. Iman is such a graceful, beautiful and tall African woman.

It would have been great, if it was made in the 80's or early 90's! Or Iman, another great choice. Halle Berry was weak!

I love both Jones and X-men, but I never put the two together. The movie still would have suffered, from my view. If it didn't stay true to the comic book story lines, they could have added depth. There's Hollywood for ya. And yeah - the movie wasn't grade A acting in the first place.
Lone live Jones!

If the films were made in the 80s, Iman or Grace would have been spot on perfect. I think the comic artists that drew Storm in the 80s were sorta responding to images in the media of Black supermodels. It makes perfect sense that Storm would remind people of Iman and Grace because the images have become somewhat embroiled. It's like when I saw Samuel L jackson as Nick Fury. There was a strange flicker of recognition because the recent comic version of Fury is actually BASED on Jackson's image.

I always thought Storm looked like Iman. But Berry was definitely wrong. She looks like a suburban mom dressed as Storm for her little kid's Halloween party.

Halle Berry was worthless as Storm. She's the character I like the least. This chick was pretty damn hot in Conan, if she still got some hotness then she definatly should've been picked out for X-men.

I have that feeling too, she looked kind of intimidating back in the day.

I always thought she'd be a better Storm. Waaaay back, it seemed like the fans wanted her for the role. This was back when an X-Men movie was still a dream to fans and Charlie Sheen was suggested to play Spiderman.

What a terrible idea! Besides being fairly unattractive, she is like 60 years old I wouldn't be too frightened of a 60 year old Storm
