The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen [UMD for PSP]

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.

Great acting and a great story line! Worth the watch.

Case arrived broken had to switch it out

Great movie, has the same campyness a lot of pg-13 action movies had at the time ( like the mummy), love seeing this movie

Wish they had made a sequel.

Right off the bat this movie had my attention and while there were some parts that made me want to skip forward I didnt. Amazing movie with the WRONG title. I saw that critics hated it and Sean Connery god rest his soul also hated it then its exactly the kind of movie I want to watch. After scanning thru all the free movies for the zillionth time and not seeing a singe one I want to watch or not seen before thru the corner of my eye I was that this movie had Sean Connery in it and so I gave it a go. Because of the title I always skipped right over it. The Gentleman in the title suggested the movie was saturated if feminism. When in fact it has some because the one main female character had extraordinary power that made he practically invincible but then again a lot of the males were the same or darn close.

I love DVDs that have extras so I was pleased that this film had as much on it as it did considering how negative the reviews are and the fact that it did not break the 100 million mark in the US. Worldwide box office and video sales well exeeded the cost of the film so the filmakers should be happy. I guess they were confident ahead of time that it was worth putting in 2 commentaries etc. From what I read there were many other scenes filmed that were not used and at least some are included. I hope they do a extended version one day. If the dvd/bluray sales do well enough who knows? I am a big Connery fan and even though this film did not thrill me when I first saw it in the theatre I enjoy it more now on DVD just taking it for what it is. I will get the blu ray version after I get my big screen tv if this does not look as good as it does now on my 27inch Sony. It is crystal clear and fits the bill overall. Connery still makes you believe he is able to do the job even though at this date he was 73! It helps of course that this is a fantasy film and not a modern day true to life drama. Good popcorn flick as they say.

THIS was the film that got Sir Sean Connery to give up on-screen acting for the rest of his life. From 2003 onward, he did only voiceover roles.

A movie mistake.... Nemo was from East India and not Turkey!

This was a movie that I fell in love with when it was first released to theaters. Its one of those movies that could definitely be called a guilty pleasure. Its loosly based on a graphic novel of the same name written by Alan Moore, who is also well known to have written V For Vendetta, The Watchmen, and From Hell, all of which were adapted into films. I really like the premise of the story by having these literary characters such as Alan Quatermain, Mina Harker, Captain Nemo, Dorian Gray, Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde, The Invisible Man, Dr. Moriarty and Tom Sawyer, in a setting different from what they are known to lived in and having most of them join forces was a treat. We see one of Sean Connerys lesser roles here as Quatermain, but he adds his little bit of flair that only he can do. I recommend this if youre in the mood for a good entertaining popcorn flick!
