Oh no, don't get me started on this movie. Every single aspect of it was complete rubbish. I can see why Sean Connery gave up his acting career afterwards, cause I sure would've.

Never read the graphic novel, but I do like the concept of it ... but the movie felt lacking in content to me. Lots of boom and bullets, but not enough story.

Could have been so much better.

Alan Moore's elegantly written and witty comic is sanitised, Hollywoodised and filled with cliches by a terribly written screenplay which treats the audience with absolute contempt.

What a wretched adaptation of a great comic. If Alan Moore gave a shit about adaptations of his work, he would be pissed.

Not too bad, but it definitely wouldn't have taken much imagination to have infinitely more fun with all these extraordinary literary gentlemen (and lady).

So I'm going into The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen movie knowing it's not gonna remotely respect the Alan Moore comics it's "based on". I mean, that was based on characters from literature that had fallen into the public domain, so really, all the producers did here was license the name. They otherwise could have used all those characters, give or take certainly additions by Moore (Mina's red scarf, Hyde's look - pretty silly on film - stuff like that). So it's the dumbed-down Americanized version, with Tom Sawyer as American plug-in (he's not LXG material and mostly useless) and entirely too many gun fights and car stunts for make this feel like the original. But even as Victorian X-Men, it's merely watchable. Every time Nemo's giant submarine navigated the Thames, the Scene or Venice's canals like there was room for it in there, it took me right out of the film. There are lots of action movie clichés besides, and because we haven't really lived with these Cliffe's Notes characters for any length of time, the twists and mystery villains don't really really mean much, or at worst, are a predictable element. But yeah, it's okay if you don't factor in some kind of adaptation anxiety/disappointment. But just okay.

Entertaining movie full of fun and action. I particularly enjoyed Stuart Townsend as Dorian Gray.

The only good about this movie is Sean Connery... but still he can't lift a crappy movie on his own... 4/10
