It worked for Sin City because it was the vision of one man and he was a co-director for the movie. Who's vision of the X-Men would you use to be "faithful" to the comics? Clairmont? Lee? There have been several writers and all of them differ on their opinions on everything from power levels to personalities to character growth.
I don't think it is possible to make an X-Men movie that will please a great majority of the fans since every fan has a certain X-Men writer they enjoyed more than the others.
