The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen [UMD for PSP]

I dont understand how to review this. The movie, OK , I like the actors in it (as long as they dont get Political). The DVD itself, I wont know until I watch it (right now its on my DVD shelf). If I were to watch it and the DVD itself is fine, that is no guarantee that ALL of the other DVDs that people may buy will be OK. Just like the majority of reviews, some say it is great and some hate it.

Action-packed film filled with favorite action heroes of a bygone era. I like it. Might enjoy it as well.

I got it but the case arrived cracked which isn’t normal

ES UNA PELÍCULA ENTRETENIDA

Enjoyed every minute

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.

Sean Connery truly shines as an older Allan Quartermain. Ive loved all of Haggards characters for years, and I found no fault with his character. I know some purists have a thing about vampires in the daylight, but let me remind you forgetful individuals: BRAM STOKER WROTE ABOUT VAMPIRES IN THE DAYLIGHT!!!! Jonathan Harker sees Count Dracula in braod daylight (well, it WAS London, maybe not so broad). Anyone raised on Disneys 20,000 Leagues movie was probably a bit confused by the appearance of the Nautilus, but this design is probably far more in keeping with the time period than the Disney design. I never was a big fan of Mr. Hyde, or of The Invisible Man, so Ill not comment on them, except that I found Hydes characterization interesting. I thought Dorian Gray was well done, if not perfect. That leaves Moriarty. Doyles madman would certainly have been capable of the plots of this man, but I believe that he would have been far more subtle, and I dont think he would have given Dorians picture back. It would have been just TOO intriguing for him. The only disappointment I had in the DVD was the lack of the ending that I saw in the theaters, where Quartermains hand rises from his grave to grip the rifle. DOES ANYONE ELSE REMEMBER THAT???? Sometimes I think Im going crazy.

This is one of those movies that you either love or hate .... well I guess I am a bit weird because I dont hate it or love it but I love Sean Connery and that is probably the real reason that I bought this. And the fact that this was the last movie he made before refusing to do any more. I miss him! An excellent actor!

I have to admit, I love this movie. Its a guilty pleasure of mine. Its funny, and it brings a bunch of literary characters all together trying to save the world. I know a lot of critics will say this movie is a lemon and how Sean Connerys acting is flat and like he gave up on this movie. I dont see it like that. His character is sarcastic and dry, yes. However I can truly see how reluctant heroes can become sarcastic and dry.

My wife enjoys watching this movie
