The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003)

Sadly Over-hyped

Lack of good storyline.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Despite a stellar cast made with some of the most famous and valid actors, the movie is nothing more than pathetic. With only fake backgrounds (simple static sketches, fixed 2d images abandoned even in the low production movies from decades), the film is encrusted with huge number of errors. Would have been better to film it with power point.

I know I said it before but there are movies that should be look past the junk and see the treasure. I remember watching this movie on HBO if I recall correctly one day mostly out of being curious.From what I saw it got my attention so I thought I would actually watch the movie is it a perfect movie? No Is it a masterpiece? No, Is it worthy of rewards? No but it is enjoyable and actually more fun then many give it credit for. Because The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen is not that bad of a movie at all it is pretty interesting, fun, clever entertainment. Isn't that a movie is suppose to do? I mean come on let's give this movie more credit.I really enjoy the plot of the film as it centers around a mystery man who calls himself M (Richard Roxburgh) as he hires Allan Quatermain (Sean Connery) to lead a team against a ruthless madman. This team League of Extraordinary Gentlemen with Captain Nemo (Naseeruddin Shah), Rodney Skinner (Tony Curran), Mina Harker (Peta Wilson), Dorian Gray (Stuart Townsend), Tom Sawyer (Shane West), and Dr.Henry Jekyll/Edward Hyde (Jason Flemyng). What I like most about this movie is that the action scenes are really top notch, each fight scene is worth watching, they really take it up a notch and they all did a great job, it really gives that rush of action you want in a movie like this so they are enough to watch this movie. Also the movie features a good percent of plot twist that you won't see coming. The Writers did pretty well with playing the viewers they did a smart job with the plot twists that you have to watch to get otherwise it's no fun also the music in the film really matches the story and there is some good characters in this film along with a humor or two in the filmIt's not often we see characters from different series of books join forces so it made the movie interesting enough to me to watch it and I actually like it no it's not best movie in the world but it is not as bad as many say, once you just give it a chance you might be surprise that you did give it the chance because it is actuality an entertainment full, fun action and clever film it just needs a little appreciationI give The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen an 8 out of 10

This movie is one of those interesting film that is incredibly polarizing. Along the same lines as a film like Moulin Rouge. On one hand it is disappointing if your expectations are too high. To be fair though the film on paper looks like it should be one of the greatest films of the new millennium. But because our expectations were not met, does that make it a bad film. It does deliver on most of its ideas, with memorable characters. The action is pretty interesting, and the visuals are not bad for early 2000's. I walked away from the film feeling satisfied in the product, but not wowed like I thought I would be. It's an above average film for me, and it was an enjoyable viewing.

The concept of this movie is good. A team full of extraordinary gentlemen and one lady. The movie feels good in parts but not as a whole. We can feel that it has been taken from a comic books as the dialogues are broken like in comic books. But that is the style of comic books. That feels good there. But in this movie nothing is smooth. Things happen too fast at sometimes. Characters are poorly build. We don't even feel the way about Tom Sawyer as we did in Mark Twain's 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.' I was looking at this movie with great expectation but was only disappointed. But the movie is not overall bad as it portrays some good steampunk cinematography and art. Mina Harker's flight in the night sky is really extraordinary. Naseeruddin shah also portrayed good swordsmanship against automatic guns. But the storytelling was bad and no attachment can be seen between the League members.
