Amazon.com: The heroes of 1899 are brought to life with the help of some expensive special effects in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. From the pages of Victorian literature come Captain Nemo, Dr. Jekyll (and his alter ego Mr. Hyde), Dorian Gray, Tom Sawyer, an Invisible Man, Mina Harker (from Dracula), and the hunter Allan Quatermain (Sean Connery), all brought together to combat an evil megalomaniac out to conquer the world. Hardly an original plot, but perhaps that's fitting for a movie sewn together like Frankenstein's monster. The movie rushes from one frenetic battle to another, replacing sense with spectacle--Nemo's submarine rising from the water, a warehouse full of zeppelins bursting into flame, Venice collapsing into its own canals; flashy, dumb, and completely incoherent. Fans of the original comic book will be disappointed. Also featuring Peta Wilson, Shane West, Stuart Townsend, Richard Roxburgh, and Jason Flemyng. --Bret Fetzer
Excellent Thriller/Action Movie Definitely a rent, but not a keeper. This one's good the first time you see it and the second or third time showing it to friends, after that, meh'.
A Sean Connery movie? I have say that this is one of the worse Sean Connery movie that I have ever watch.
Good Movie, Bad Wrap.
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.
Incompetent 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.
Sean Connery's Biggest Mistake 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.
