Summary: Good Movie, Bad Wrap.
Comment:
This is not for fans of the comic book if you takes your comics to seriously. But I found the movie fun, adventerous and a good escape from reality. If you like sir sean connery, or just like to hear him talk its a good investment.

Summary: Incompetent
Comment: One of the most interesting and innovative comic books in the last twenty years reduced to a television level script and acting/directing that will be prime fodder for some future incarnation of Mystery Science Theatre. Has to be seen to understand how really awful it is. It's yet another example of Hollywood buying a popular property, then ditching everything that made it a success in the first place.

Summary: Sean Connery's Biggest Mistake
Comment: My brother asked me awhile ago if I ever saw a movie with Sean Connery I didn't like, after this movie the answer changed and I didn't like this movie at all. With I had never seen it. I know Sean Connery can act but in this it was just to much trash around for good acting to fix.
Customer Rating:
Summary: It's a BAD LEAGUE.
Comment: There's so much nonsense in this movie that it's ridiculous. The league consists of characters such as Tom Sawyer (Yes, it's true!), Captain Nemo!, the Invisible Man, Dr. Jekyll/Mister Hyde! etc. Somebody had let his/her imagination gone wild. It's so wild that it's really ruins the movie. The dialogues are bad jokes. The acting is luke warm. There are some good special effects but they can't save the film.
It's still worth watching once for curiosity.

Summary: What A Colossal Mess
Comment: It's not like Sean Connery needed the money. He didn't have to go the Donald Pleasence route and make a boatload of awful "Halloween" movies. The former James Bond could've stayed quietly retired and contented himself with daily laps in his pool of money. All of which begs the question: Why in heaven's name would he associate his good name with a clunker that is THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN?
But alas, it's all water under the Nautilus; Connery headlines this quagmire as slick adventurer Allan Quartermain (but it's still not as fun to say as Miss Moneypenney), out to save the world from certain doom in the last year of the 19th Century. Yet Mr. Quartermain is not alone; he is aided and abetted by a passle of fictional characters who all lend instant credibility to the story: Tom Sawyer, Captain Nemo, the Invisible Man, Dr. Jekyll/Mister Hyde, Dorian Gray, and Mina Harker (of "Dracula" fame).
No, I'm not making this up. Somebody else did and made a bad movie out of it. And would someone tell me how a "league of extraordinary gentlemen" would include a Mina Harker? Does Bram Stoker know something the rest of us should know?
But anyway, after what I thought was an absolutely sensational hook, this movie promptly dissolved into more nonsense than an ice fishing contest in the Everglades; nothing, and I mean nada, worked--from the special effects to the action sequences to the trite and sappy dialogue. I was impressed by Connery's ability to run alot; I only hope I'm that mobile should I reach my eighth decade. Indeed, there is something extraordinary about THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN. It's extraordinarly bad.
