The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen [UMD for PSP]

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is really an extraordinary superhero movie although these heroes arent from comic books but the books of great literature. A hunter, a scientist, a vampire, an invisible man, an immortal, a spy, and a beast -- the imndomitable Alan Quatermain from of H. Rider Haggards 1885 novel King Solomons Mines; Mina Harker from Bram Strokers immortal vampire book Dracula; Captain Nemo from Jules Vernes 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea; the sleek and sinister Dorian Gray from Oscar Wildes the Picture of Dorian Gray; Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde comes from Robert Louis Stevensons short novel Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde; a grown-up Tom Sawyer, called Agent Sawyer, from Mark Twains various novels; and the thief Rodney Skinner standing in for H. G. Wells Invisible Man-- are all treated as real people who lived, worked, fought, and even died around the turn of twentieth century and that all of the adventures written about them werent fiction, but just the events that made up the days of their lives. And here they fight a villainous master-mind who is trying to start a world war just to make profits for himself. I dont know why, but at first, I did not not like this movie. But then I watched it again for a second time and found that despite a certain grimness to the sets that represent 19th century London and Paris, this is a great action/adventure film to rival any James Bond or X-Man movie. It was the kind of a movie that made wished I had read the books all of those heroes-- and the surprise villain-- came from. I think that in spite of the violence, and there is a lot of it, this might be a very good movie for parents to watch with their older kids and point out to them that the great works of literature can be just as exciting as any comic book or video game and get them started on reading just for the pleasure of reading.

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

What I could watch was go disc was bad but return and refund were execalant

This movie can and does let your imagination soar into the unreal and fantasies. It is a must watch and kept me captivated the entire movie.

I watched this years ago (quite a few years) and didnt care for it then. Just watched it again and was presently surprised. A lot of it I didnt even remember. Worth the watch.

Great, lessor known Sean Conner movie.

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.

2nd time reordering because first one sent wouldnt play in American DVD players. Product quality iffy, movie excellent. Another Sean Connery sleeper.

I simply love this kind of sci-fi movies with extraordinary quest :]

I am not going to even to try to encapsulate this movie, let’s just say watch it. don’t try to get deep into the meaning of this movie, just have an extra-large bag of popcorn, and a soda pop. Let you mind go numb and enjoy. It’s as simple as that.
