The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen [UMD for PSP]

The avengers, iron man, Sherlock Holmes: game is shadows are heavily inspired from this movie. In fact Sherlock Holmes: game is shadows has same plot as this movie. Looks like this is so underrated.

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!

One of my favorite Sean Connery movies for any action fan. I watch it at least once a week and have it memorized!

good halloween fun.

Case was broken. NBD tho movie is fine

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.

Famous literary characters serve as superheroes of a sort in this steampunk thriller. A sneaky terrorist calling himself THE Fantom, seeks to disrupt the balance of power in the world, so he might profit from the ensuing chaos. Instead of striking fear, the phony Fantom simply annoys The League, and now they have a mission―to stop the freak at all costs. But. (Almost a surprise.) It turns out that he is not a freak and not everyone is as they claim to be. An interesting premise posing as a futuristic period piece. I bought it because it features the indomitable Sean Connery. Otherwise, it’s just a lot of rushing around, a great deal of novelty, and very little substance. None of the actors are given much to do. Most of them didn’t appear to be enjoying themselves, regardless. Still. I like it for all its numerous flaws and foibles. It’s crap. But it’s fancy crap.

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

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.

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