Pros: Some effects, most of the acting, interesting story
Cons: Story can be confusing; some effects fell flat
Summary: This 2003 movie is loosely based on the comic books by Alan Moore, and was directed by Stephen Norrington. The premise is that is late in the Nineteenth Century, and a villain who calls himself Fantom and wears a mask and a cape is plotting to instigate ... read more

Pros: Great characters ripped from great books; engaging action, plot, suspense elements
Cons: Tongue in cheek occasionally goes over the top. Well, more than occasionally...viewer patience mandatory.
Summary: To preface: I haven’t read the original graphic novel by Alan Moore, but I understand he was unhappy with how different the movie was from his original story. To be fair, my personal philosophy regarding authors that let Hollywood make films out of ... read more

Pros: interesting premise, great effects, decent acting
Cons: story not faithful to original character or the graphic novel
Summary: I don't know how I missed this movie up until now. As soon as I read description, I was intrigued. I also wondered why I managed to miss it for so long. It had so many elements that I am fond of. The only thing I can think of is that since I've never ... read more

Pros: action, adventure, liberated woman, high quality, fun, exciting
Cons: only small problems, but maybe you don’t want to believe this fantasy
Summary: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is a guy flick, no doubt, but I loved it, too. It has just enough breadth to make us gals happy. For one thing, it has a very liberated woman who can not only take care of herself, but also take out a few of ... read more

Pros: Some good CGI, based on very famous literary characters
Cons: Everything else
Summary: I didn't particullarly want to watch this movie. But, when it came down to it, I had a choice. Either watch this movie or do work. Since I'd already worked many hours that day I opted for the former. Looking back, I probably would have preffered the ... read more

Pros: Connery (to an extent), Wilson, West, scenery
Cons: (where to begin?)
Summary: I’m pretty sure that I know why I didn’t see The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen in the theater. I wasn’t really that interested in the film or the characters…but I did decide to watch it after a friend brought it over for our ... read more

Pros: Leading edge special effects ...
Cons: .... everything else is done dull.
Summary: It cannot be denied: THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN (also titled LXG), based on a "graphic novel", is a shameless attempt to generate a parallel to the X-MEN using (public domain) literary characters from 19th century classics. In this case, ... read more

Pros: Great idea, nice special effects, and an interesting plot.
Cons: Not enough character development and too many love interests!
Summary: SLIGHT PLOT SPOILERS IN PLOT SECTION Before I start, let me say that I do like this film. I'm just going to include negative comments submitted by other reviewers, which I agree with. I love reading fan fiction, and have been doing so for a long ... read more

Pros: interesting group of heroes, good effects
Cons: story does not flow that well, could have better story
Summary: Well first off I have not read the graphic novel, which the film is loosely based on. I definitely want to read it when I get a chance as I think Alan Moore is an incredible writer. If you have not read the comic book Watchmen go and get it ASAP. Plot ... read more

Pros: There's potential...
Cons: ...but it falls flat. And who really cares?
Summary: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is my least favorite sort of film to watch. It's definitely not good, but it's not bad enough to evoke the sadistic pleasure of active dislike. It's just there, leaving you feeling as though you just wasted ... read more

Cons: …
Summary: I don’t really know why I wanted to see this movie in the first place. I’m usually good at picking movies that I like. This one was way below what I would consider tolerable. The movie occurs during 1899. It starts out in London with a tank ... read more

Pros: ......

Summary: This didn’t wow people or receive great reviews, which is probably why I liked it. There is just something about Sean Connery, I think he is at the point in his acting career where he is doing things that he just enjoys and that reflects in the ... read more

Pros: I rented it.
Cons: Weak story and action.
Summary: Normally, I like movies of this nature. They set up from the very beginning that the world in which the characters will inhabit is not the same world we inhabit although there are several similarities between the two. The last movie that I can recall ... read more

Cons: there's more to good film than effort

Pros: Peta Wilson, Richard Roxburgh, Stuart Townsend
Cons: Sean Connery, not enough screen time for rest of cast, driving in Venice, Bad script
Summary: Terrible terrible terrible. Sean Connery is boring and not at all working to give us anything in this film. His character is dumbed down for the graphic novel to be a sort of ancestor of Indiana Jones or James Bond, not sure which. Peta Wilson, ... read more

Pros: Sean Connery's presence...and it's only 110 minutes long!
Cons: ....but those 110 minutes seem to be 110 hours at times! And the script! UGH.
Summary: At first glance, this should have been a winner. I mean, it stars the original James Bond and Indiana Jones' dad, Sean Connery, for Pete's sake. And the concept IS interesting -- a literary Dream Team of classic action adventure characters ranging from ... read more

Cons: Plot could use some tweaking, vampire legend stuff, Venice looked fake
Summary: That this movie isn't as bad as its getting hit up for. Is it Oscar worthy, well no. Is it a good time and entertaining, yep, yep it is. This film had action, a fairly decent plot, and some great effects. I did have one or two problems with it, but ... read more
