The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen [UMD for PSP]

I loved Alan Moores League of the Extraordinary Gentlemen, both volume I and II in fact as Moore crosses over famous literary figures. I think this is some of his best work, definetly up there with Watchmen, V for Vendetta, From hell and Top Ten. Many expected to see a straight comic to movie adaptation. Unfortunately that is often impossible. Movies and comics are separate art forms. In fact the only thing the comic and movie have in common is really the premise. Personally I view the movie and the comics separate. I liked it alot and thought it was very well done. Many people especially the mainstream audience that saw it for the summer blockbuster were dissapointed. It got brutal reviews but who listens to the critics anyway. In order to get the movie you have to know who the characters are.I didnt like that they added Sawyer but its was still a great movie. The script was written by Comic writer James Robinson ( if you havent read Star Man you are missing on of the best comics ever written). Even Kevin ONeil (the comics artist)liked it. Anyway it was certanly better than From hell (another movie based on Moores work.

This movie is one of my favorites! Im surprised it does so bad on rotten tomatoes. Its may be a bit hard to follow if you dont know any of the characters, but they are from classic novels so its pretty common knowledge and explained for those who dont know them. The characters are dynamic and the fight scenes are awesome, especially near the end. I bought it to show my friends who hadnt ever heard of it and they absolutely loved it. I would highly recommend it.

ES UNA PELÍCULA ENTRETENIDA

I really enjoyed this movie. The writing is good, the photography and special effects are good, and the acting is excellent as well. Although I must admit, Sean Connery is one of my all time favorite actors. So Im sure that has something to do with my rating. :)

Yes just received my package and everything was right it was great thank you

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.

Excellent movie. I thought so when I watched it on TV. On TV it says its been edited for content and time. No surprise there. The movie was so good I wanted to see what had been cut out of it. There are a couple places where things get confusing and I figured the DVD would clear those places up. There is NOTHING different on DVD except a 15 second intro type thing that adds absolutely nothing to the movie. Of course theres no commercials so theres that... It has good special effects, a good story line, a bit violent in places. It is interesting how they mix various characters (who have their own stories apart from this movie) together - Moriarty, Dorian Grey, the Invisible Man, the Vampire, Captain Nemo. And of course... Sean Connery. This movie will not make the list for Top 100 Movies of the Century but its worth the time as long as you dont pay a fortune for it.

I left my husband home alone and low and behold he purchased this movie via Amazon prime. First of all I was impressed that my sweetie pie had figured out how to work our firestick, secondly this is a good movie. This movie reminds me of the Indiana Jones series of movies.

When I was a little boy my Dad used to come home late and wake me up to watch horror movies on the TV. Chilirama and Tales from the Crypt. Only a couple movies combine all the elements that remind me of those nights watching movies with Dad struggling to keep my eyes open so me and my father could spend time together (he worked a double shift most days). This is one of those movies. A Vampire, an Invisible Man and sorted fictional characters from all my favorite books. Quartermain, M, Moriarty, Nemo, Hyde, and even Tom Sawyer. Well casted and scripted. You want to slap on a movie to distract yourself from the day to day, then this will do the job admirably.

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