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
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - 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.
Rating:  - 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.
Rating: - 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.
Rating:  - It's a BAD LEAGUE.
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.
Rating: - What A Colossal Mess
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 ... Read More
