The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen [UMD for PSP]

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.

The cast of course is great , the movie itself I found very entertaining and action packed a great movie for my collection and a great fun movie for the whole family !!

Found out today of Sean Connerys passing! Wonderful action movie. Rest in peace Sean, you have given us so much enjoyment!

Being a fan of the graphic novels I was not really eager to watch this film, scared about how badly they would wreck it. But in the end it was a delight. I enjoyed how they brought in each character, how they set up the plot, how they carefully set up the foundation to make it easy to move right into the action and adventure of the latter parts of the film. I wish they had kept some of the deleted scenes in the film, because some of them were important, linking one scene to another, but in the end the film was a good one. The extras in the DVD, from the behind-the-scenes documentary and audio commentaries, really add to the DVD. Something to add to your DVD library if you are a fan of the old novels, with such super-stars like the great white hunter, Allan Quatermain, the sub captain, Captain Nemo, and that great scientist, Dr. Henry Jekyll. If you enjoyed this movie, remember that the graphic novels are available. The movie is based on the first volume, but there are TWO out at the time of this review. Great books. Evil thugs, explosions and lots of dark city streets that all look alike. Have fun!

4 stars because the kids (18, 20, and 24) could watch this movie over, and over, and over! And they do. I find it ok but HAD to get it when it was discovered in Amazon video because this is a classic for the kids. I could take it or leave it individually but it does work as a family movie when we are grilling or just hanging out.

It was good but kinda dry & I was hoping for more of a story line.

This movie is someones wild imagination, way out there in left field. Connery leads a group of superheroes. There is a vampire, invisible man, a monster and a spy. For the sake of man kind they have to figure out how to work along side each other. They have to stop a madman intent on launching global armageddon. It does have some laughs in it. The movie is just different and fun to watch. Has a lot of far fetched things that happen.

On paper this film seems to have it all. A great idea, a huge budget for F/X and a solid cast, but for some reason it just doesnt come together? I vaguely remembered seeing this film in theaters back in the day, but the only part I could remember were the early scenes with Sean Connery as Alan Quartermain, and some flashes here or there. After watching Dr. No the other day, I found myself on a Connery kick and watched The Untouchables and wanted to follow up with LXG. In 1899 a series of attacks against sovereign nations by a group of well armed terrorists and led by the masked Fantom, has led Europe to the brink of war. Using advanced weaponry such as machine guns and armored vehicles, the Fantom and his men are about to begin a World War. The British Empire calls upon some of the times greatest adventurers; Quartermain, Tom Sawyer, The Invisible Man, Dorian Gray, Mina Harker and Captain Nemo to stop the Fantom and bring peace to Europe. Again, I love the idea this film is based on, and the cast of characters should be a lot of fun to watch....but the movie is just so flat. There are action scenes galore, but nothing feels exciting. The F/X, while CGI heavy, are pretty good, especially the scenes involving The Invisible Man (Dr. Jeckyll on the other hand...). Im reminded quite a bit of the Hugh Jackman film Van Helsing, in that you have a great idea on paper, and big budget a great leading man, but for some reason, just nothing clicks. League of Extraordinary Gentlemen isnt a horrible film, its not even a bad film, its just so damn dull.

The case and product are fine. As far as the movie is concerned, of course I love it or I wouldnt have bought it!

Just so glad I found this on Blu Ray. Looks great on my 4k tv. Ive always thought this was a wonderful movie. Ive shared it with others whod never seen it. Sean Connery is missed
