The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen [UMD for PSP]

Have watched it multiple times. Love the concept and seeing otherwise unrelated literary characters together in one movie. It does seem somewhat labored in places, but I don’t remember perceiving it that way the first time I watched it.

All, what I have against it, that Captain Nemo is played by India man, when in Verne story he was a Polish man, who run from Sybir.

Combining a scattered cast of literary characters, League of Extraordinary Gentleman brings together Alexander Quartermain, Dr. Jekyll, Dorian Gray, Tom Sawyer, and several others to combat a burgeoning evil force: a man of modern science. With breathtaking physical effects, mixed with a tasteful CGI, this 90s classic stands the test of time well compared to modern graphics-heavy films. The plots arent overly complex, but neither are they predictable. I highly recommend watching the film

Yes, just okay. Despite the good cast, led by S. Connery, it just attains an okay. There was a lot of potential but not realized. Just goes to show that gimmickry does not make a movie. Actually, by the end the gimmickry had gotten extremely tiresome. Watch it for Connery if youre a fan, but dont expect greatness.

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

With the majority so far here...this picture, panned almost to a man by the critics, was actually as enjoyable as I thought it would be before I started hearing the avalanche of negative reviews. Why did they hate this film so much?! It has NON-stop action, great art direction, good casting, (I am in love with Peta WIlson!) a nice, world-threatening plot, (probably yet another nod to Connery,) and passable special effects. Perhaps it was the obvious hand that Marvel may have had in it...the whole movie reminds me an AWFUL lot of Van Helsing, what with Mr. Hyde having a prominent part in it, on top of the presence of Richard Roxburgh, who played Dracula in that movie. Van Helsing also, in turn, bore a strong resemblance to X-2, X-Men United. CGI effects are also a lot more obvious in Marvels movies than they are in anybody elses, and they are here...THAT could have been a put-off...but for me, the not-so-great CGI was hidden well enough by shadows so that it wasnt as bad as it was in The Hulk or Spiderman. The group consists of: Allen Quartermain, (Connery...glad they didnt pick Richard Chamberlain,) Tom Sawyer, The Invisible Man, Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, Captain Nemo, (wait til you see the Nautilus...WOW!) and a persona de femme from Dracula, Mina Harker, played by Ms. Wilson. Dorian Grey is along for the ride, too, but how much can you trust a character made up by Oscar Wilde? Its great seeing Connery slug a villain and making it stick, at his age...(hes 77 now, can you believe it?) and Peta Wilson...YES!! Love that accent, love that stature, love that improvement-on-Julie-Christie thing shes got going for her....Love that car, too...Ill bet you anything either Panther Westwinds or Sbarro had something to do with that beast! That looked like a Lancia grille, too! Anyway, there is, indeed, non-stop action! You really do root for the good guys, especially after its revealed that the groups being conned by a surprising source, and just marvelling at the great sets and cinematography used in the film is a kick. I highly recommend this underrated little film, one that the critics made look much worse than it is!

One of my favorite live-action steampunk movies, these gentlemen and the Lady Harker (I guess thats not poetic enough for a title, even though she is a great character and invaluable team member) will entertain you. The actors are at the top of their game, the interaction and action is top-notch, and the story is engaging and fun. Do yourself a favor and dont read the spoiler reviews - just buy and watch this movie.

Great movie.

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

All my favorite characters from the books I read growing up in one place and on a grand adventure together - whats not to love?
