The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen [UMD for PSP]

A fun movie thats even better when its free on Prime, with literary characters posing as an 1800s version of The Avengers. The plot is predictable, but enjoyable since all or most of the characters are directly from from literature of that time with the Invisible Man, Allan Quartermain, Dr. Jekyl transforming into a pre-Hulk Mr. Hyde, Mina Harker being the female vampire character, the immortal Dorian Gray, Captain Nemo with his Nautilus, and you get the drift. A light souffle at best.

Excellent and speedy service

I saw this movie years ago and I remember it being hammered by critics, but as a kid I thought it was the coolest thing ever. And even now, I still love this movie. Im fairly certain that if this had released now in this era of superhero movies, it would have been a huge hit. Even now the effect, both practical and CGI, hold up really well. Its an interesting story, with great characters. A fun adventure throughout.

Slow getting started, I loved the characters but the character development rushed. I watched to get entertainment not serious storyline and that it did provide. All the Quartermane movies every actor has been B rated pulp science fiction. This stayed in that tradition

I really liked it a lot. I wish that I had washed it soon

Sean Connery is great. This movie has it all; good actors, good story, history, intrigue, drama, Dr Jeckyl and Mr Hyde, Dracula, Journey to the center of the earth, the invisible man, world war, sherlock holmes and moriarty, tints of iron man and wonder woman, ... and its pretty clean when you think of the lack of profanity, gore and nudity. great soundtrack. Really, its one of the better and definitely underrated movies of the last decade.

I absolutely love this movie. I have watched it many times. I love westerns, l watched with my dad as a child and l love sci-fi. Where can you see a Vampire, Capt. Nemo, Dorian Gray, Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde, the Invisible Man and Allan Quatramain who is played by Sean Connery who happen to work together to fight evil Dr. Moriarty in one movie. Well this movie gets a high adventure star from me.

Connery wasnt sure he understood the proposed script for this film when he first read it, but after passing on scripts he found incomprehensible, like The Matrix and Lord of the Rings, he still agreed to take part in this super-ambitious project. Thank goodness! It might have had a lesser budget if hed rejected the script, and the acting certainly would have been diminished greatly. All the stars do an excellent job but, to be totally honest, the special effects (a combination of blue screen, miniatures, some of the largest sets ever built, and in-camera mixing) often steal the show in a wonderful, breathtaking way. This is a must-see movie, and thats coming from a guy who has not been overly impressed by most of the super hero films of recent years. The makeup is also incredible, particularly for the dual Dr. Jekyl & Mr. Hyde character. Nina Harker, the subdued and proper 19th century lady, transforms spectacularly into a vicious vampire leading a hoard of vampire bats. Connery, as Allen Quartermain of King Solomons Mines, is cool and great without the need for transformation. Dorian Gray, played by an actor who looks a bit like Johnny Depp, displays some impressive changes as well. Tom Sawyer seems an odd choice for a film that includes Capt. Nemo, the Invisible Man and the other fictional hero/anti-heroes mentioned above, but he fits in well as the chosen successor to the elderly Quartermain. Nemos gigantic submarine, his elegant super car, the destruction of Venice and other eye-popping visuals arent easily forgotten. This is one of my favorite films!

Disc was new, in sealed packaging, plays as expected.

Now that Sean Connery has passed on, this kind of makes the movie a little bit more special a very good actor, I really enjoyed the movie very unusual
